It’s February and Winter has arrived in Seattle with a huge snow storm.  Which means more people spending more time at home.

A Seattle homeowner sighted a nasty rat in the attached garage. After investigating the possibilities of how the rodents got in the Dad was stumped. The homeowner didn't want to even think about attempting to catch the nasty rodent. All the upset father wanted to know is: “ How to get rid of the rats and mice”. The decision was to call in a Seattle professional pest control exterminator. A neighbor had mentioned the same type of problem and had mentioned AMPM Exterminators.

Different ways rats infiltrate:

It’s hard to fathom but the Rats were able to squeeze through a hole the size of a quarter. The rats and mice will find accessible cracks and crevices to squeeze into and also the foundation and crawl space. Even between siding and concrete blocks. Rats and Mice can swim through sewer lines and climb up drain pipes giving easy access to the home.

Electrical wires are perfect bridges too. Call in the professionals. AMPM Exterminators is the best in the northwest.

Another Seattle homeowner has Rat problems:

It was obvious that another Seattle home was Rat infested. The lady of the house screamed bloody murder after seeing a rat indicating there was definitely an invasion. The husband investigated further and found feces, nests and gnaw marks on furniture in the attic. Another search in the main floor and another rat was seen scurrying by jn the kitchen. Oh no, not in my house. Got to get rid of the rats now. Decision made to call in the AMPM Exterminators pest control service professionals.

The main quest is for food. The varmints are so grateful for all of the entry points that were easily accessible to get inside.  Mice love grains and will attack bags of rice, boxes of cereal, pasta, and bread.

Food will be found scattered everywhere when the pests are eating and make big messes.

Some of the dangers and damages caused by Rats and Mice:
