If your business is in Tukwila, you’re in the heart of the Pacific Northwest’s supply chain. But the same features that make Tukwila ideal for logistics the I5/I405 interchange, vast warehouses, and rail lines also make it a national hotspot for industrial pest pressure. Rodents, birds, and stored product pests aren’t just a nuisance here; they’re a direct threat to your inventory, your audit scores, and your bottom line.
AMPM Exterminators isn’t a residential company dabbling in commercial work. We are industrial pest specialists who design protocols for the scale and complexity of Tukwila’s business landscape. We protect your assets so you can focus on operations.
1. RISK: The Geographic Perfect Storm
Your facility sits in a pest migration superhighway. Rodents from the Duwamish greenbelt, birds nesting in the rafters of neighboring units, and insects from international shipping containers all converge in the Tukwila valley.
2. ACCESS: The Million Hidden Entry Points
A standard warehouse has over 200 potential pest entry points: loading dock seals, roll-up door gaps, roof penetrations for HVAC, and weep holes in masonry. Each is an open door for a threat.
3. CONSEQUENCE: The Cost of Failure
For a Distribution Center: A single rodent can contaminate an entire pallet, leading to a six figure recall and failed FDA/AIB audit.
For a Retailer at Southcenter: A customer spotting a mouse leads to social media firestorms and loss of consumer trust.
For a Food Manufacturer: Pest evidence equals immediate shutdown and seven figure regulatory fines.
Identifying and removing species commonly found in Tukwila.
Targeting sugar ants and destructive carpenter ants with precision treatments.
Detecting and eliminating termites before they cause costly structural damage.
Safe nest removal to prevent stings and infestations.
Comprehensive control to eliminate disease-spreading cockroaches.

Phase 1: The Forensic Vulnerability Audit
We don’t just look for pests. We perform a 65 point structural and operational audit to map every risk specific to your facility, including:
Thermal Imaging to find hidden moisture attracting pests.
Dock & Door Seal Integrity Testing
Bird Pressure Analysis on roofs and loading bays.
Employee Traffic Pattern Review that inadvertently creates pest highways.
Phase 2: The Exclusion & Elimination Engine
We implement military grade solutions:
Rodent Proofing: Installing steel mesh, copper wool, and industrial sealants on all structural gaps.
Bird Deterrence: Bird netting, shock track systems, and laser technology for warehouse ceilings.
Insect Monitors: Digital remote monitoring of pheromone traps for stored product pests, providing real time data.
Perimeter Defense: Weather-resistant bait stations on a mapped grid around your property’s exterior.
