Professional Rat Abatement in Seattle & King County, WA
Whether you’re a homeowner battling rats in the attic or a contractor needing a rodent abatement certificate for demolition, AMPM Exterminators provides comprehensive solutions to remove infestations, prevent re-entry, and keep projects compliant with King County regulations.
Rats are more than a nuisance they cause property damage, spread disease, and delay construction projects. That’s why Seattle requires licensed rat abatement in many cases before issuing permits.
Why Rat Abatement Matters in Seattle
- For Homeowners: Rats invade kitchens, basements, crawl spaces, and walls, chewing wires, insulation, and plumbing. Without professional exclusion and abatement, infestations return quickly.
- For Businesses: Restaurants, warehouses, and office buildings risk health code violations, inventory contamination, and bad reviews if rats are not controlled.
- For Construction/Demolition: Many cities in King County including Seattle, Bellevue, and Renton require proof of rat abatement before demolition permits are approved. Skipping this step can result in delays, fines, and project shutdowns.

AMPM’s Rat Abatement Process
1. Pre-Construction Rat Inspections
We inspect the property for nesting areas, entry points, and food sources, then design a site-specific abatement plan.
2. Baiting & Trapping Program
Rodent control systems are placed to eliminate rats before demolition or construction begins.
3. Exclusion & Entry Point Sealing
Sealing gaps, crawl space entries, foundation cracks, and roof access points to keep rodents from returning.
4. Rat Removal During Demolition
Our technicians are onsite during active demolition to remove rodents safely and prevent spread into nearby properties.
5. Post-Construction Prevention
We implement barriers, seal-offs, and ongoing monitoring so new buildings remain rat-free long after completion.
