Roof rats are one of the most destructive pests in Seattle and across the Eastside. Unlike Norway rats that burrow underground, roof rats are expert climbers. They enter homes and businesses through rooflines, attics, and elevated openings, creating hidden infestations that spread quickly.
At AMPM Exterminators, we specialize in roof rat inspections and extermination for residential, commercial, and construction projects.
How Roof Rats Get Into Seattle & Eastside Homes
- Overhanging tree branches touching rooflines
- Gaps in attic vents, soffits, or chimneys
- Chewing through shingles, fascia boards, or roof edges
- Utility line entry points around roofs and walls
If you live in Seattle, Issaquah, Sammamish, Kirkland, Redmond, or Bellevue, roof rats can easily spread from nearby trees or structures into your attic.
Signs of a Roof Rat Infestation
- Droppings and urine stains in attic insulation
- Scratching noises above ceilings at night
- Gnaw marks on wires, insulation, and wood beams
- Nests made of shredded paper, leaves, or fabric
Don’t wait roof rats cause fire hazards by chewing wiring and spread diseases like salmonella and hantavirus.
