 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently worked with Angel after finding a pretty major issue when selling my home.  He was professional and sincere and I trusted his take on the issue and how best to resolve.  He was not trying to include scope that was not necessary and I greatly appreciated that.  He put me at ease and worked within a quick turn around time to make it happen.  It is rare you feel like you can trust someone in these types of indistries these days and Angel certainly earned my trust and my ongoing business with my new home.   Truly apprecaited!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been using Croach since we moved into our home about 6 years ago. They come out quarterly to do their normal thing and always show up when they say they're going to. Additionally, we've had to call them several times in between our regular service (once for wasps, once for ants in our house, once for mice in our garage) and they have always been able to come out quickly and fixed our issue to our satisfaction. After having the same technician for several years (he has left the company), today was our first experience with CJ. He was friendly, listened to our needs, and was able to complete the work quickly and efficiently! Thanks CJ!

We have had a problem with ants in the house this time every year and he knew how to take care of them without the materials used being toxic to our dog. Thank you Josh!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Recently we had a rodent issue and contacted some companies but they could not locate the correct position or had no idea of what exact animal it was. I decided to try Croach since they offer free inspection. Cassie came on time and found the possible entrances which I was convinced. She set up the traps which caught rodents the next day and sealed off entrances. She is so patient to answer all my questions and responsive to my messages even during none business hours. She is careful and very professional on the job. I am very grateful.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. AngelGT, a member of the Croach Team, conducted a thorough analysis  of my house last week to seek out entry points for rodents, which had recently appeared.  This week Angel returned and successfully sealed off all the holes.  I am impressed by his professionalism and willingness to explain every step of the process.  He is courteous and dedicated to his work and his company.  I am very grateful.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We've been using Croach for years now and my husband and I are very happy with the service they provide. Today, David came out and treated the outside and inside the garage for seasonal spiders. He made sure to advise us not to let our dog out for about an hour. He also made sure to ask if there was anything else we needed. Really appreciate the good job he did and the professionalism!

Why Are Rodents Such a Big Problem in Seattle?

Seattle consistently ranks among the most rodent-active cities in the U.S., with high rates of rodent sightings in homes. This is because Seattle creates almost-perfect conditions for rats and mice.

A mild, wet climate allows rodents to stay active year-round
Dense urban housing makes it easy for rodents to move between homes
Aging infrastructure and sewer systems provide nesting and travel routes
Food availability from garbage, compost, and urban wildlife

Rodents in Seattle are a serious problem because these pests pose real risks to your home and health. According to the Washington State Department of Health, rodents like mice and rats spread disease through droppings and urine, which contaminate food, trigger respiratory issues, and introduce parasites to our family and pets.

Rodents also chew through wiring in the house, increasing fire risks in both old and new homes, and often damage insulation and structural materials.

Common Rodents Found in Seattle

Washington State is home to multiple rodent species, but the three primary rodents are Norway rats, roof rats, and house mice, all of which are dangerous to humans and pets.

Norway rats are the most common rat in Seattle and are often found in basements and crawl spaces. They often come up from sewers and through cracks in foundations. This type of rat carries at least 35+ types of diseases, many of which you can contract without ever seeing a rat.
Roof rats are common in coastal cities like Seattle. These types of rats are more dangerous to our homes as they often nest in attics, on rafters, and on roofs. Roof rats can travel along rooftops between buildings, making infestations more persistent if not properly addressed.
House mice are small but highly invasive rodents. They reproduce rapidly, turning a small issue into a major infestation. They are drawn to kitchens, garages, and can even nest between walls, contaminating surfaces and food.

How to Prevent a Rodent Infestation

Rat sightings in Seattle are common, exceeding national averages. Prevention is key to avoiding a rodent infestation. Here are some tips to keep mice and rats at bay:

Keep your yard free of excess debris, like leaf piles and mulch. Cut back trees so branches don’t extend near the roof.
Seal all possible openings to your home so rodents can’t enter.
Store food, including pet food, in tightly sealed containers.
Use an organic peppermint-based or ammonia-based cleaner to repel rodents.
Last, but most importantly, hire a professional pest control for ongoing prevention.

Older homes and apartments in Seattle are especially vulnerable to rodent infestations. If you live in an established neighborhood like Queen Anne, Ballard, or the Central District, inspect your foundation and crawl space for any gaps. Rodents can often enter homes through a gap just a 1/4 of an inch.

For those living in Downtown apartments or in areas like Capitol Hill or Belltown, professional pest control is essential. Rodent infestations can rapidly spread between units, as rodents often move through shared walls and over close or connecting rooftops

The Croach® Rodent Control Process

Croach® Pest Control goes beyond quick fixes to deliver long-term rodent control solutions. We utilize Integrated Pest Management techniques to eliminate current rodent problems and prevent their recurrence.

Step 1: Thorough Inspections

Our highly trained technicians will perform a thorough inspection to assess which rodents are infesting your home and the extent of the damage they’ve done. We identify rodent activity, nesting areas, and entry points throughout your home.

Step 2: Trapping and Bait Stations

We focus on targeted baiting, trapping, and other eco-friendly extermination methods. Our technicians place the most effective traps along rodent travel routes, ensuring they stay our of your family’s way. They’ll also place bait stations around your home’s exterior before they can get inside your home.

Step 3: Exclusion

Removing a current rodent infestation isn't enough. We locate and seal entry points because even a hole the size of a dime can allow mice inside.

Step 4: Sanitization and Prevention

We identify conditions attracting rodents, such as food sources, clutter, or moisture issues. In some cases, it is necessary to replace the attic insulation, crawl space insulation, and vapor barrier. We are pleased to offer professional insulation installation services to customers in the Seattle & Portland areas.

Step 5: Ongoing Monitoring and Prevention

Rodent control often requires follow-up to ensure complete elimination and prevent reinfestation. Your Croach® technician will return quarterly to ensure that your mice or rat problem is resolved and proactively address any new risks.
