Federal Way Wildlife Animal Control

Professional Wildlife Removal Company Servicing Federal Way, WA

If you have a problem with wildlife in your Federal Way home, your best option is to hire a company that specializes in Washington wildlife removal only. This is a specialty business, and regular pest control companies do not use the proper techniques to solve animal problems. I have spent many years reviewing Washington and Federal Way, and I recommend the following:

When hiring a company to solve your wild animal problem, you want these features:

  • Specializes in wildlife removal, not pest control
  • Fully Washington and King County licensed and insured
  • Works 7 days per week (critters don't take weekends off)
  • Performs full building inspections: enters and inspects attic
  • Performs exclusion repairs, with guarantee against animal re-entry
  • Offers cleanup of biohazardous wildlife waste

  • Pest Animal Removal Seattle is a full-service Federal Way wildlife removal company. This is very different from a regular Federal Way pest control company. The pest control companies spray poison to kill insects. This is not at all similar to wildlife removal. Pest Animal Removal Seattle performs a full inspection of the home or property, and determines why the animal(s) are there, and if inside a building, how the animals got inside. All animals (including rodents) are trapped and removed, or if possible, removed from the building using special exclusion devices. Once the animals are gone, preventative repairs are essential, and cleanup is sometimes recommended.

    Federal Way wildlife trapping - it's not as simple as it may seem. It's illegal in Washington to trap without a license. Trap type is very important and there are many different types, bait is somewhat relevant, trap placement is vital, and there are dozens of small things that are very important to know. Safety is a concern. Then once the animal is trapped, it must be removed and dealt with in the proper manner according to Washington law. We offer Federal Way raccoon removal. Read more about how to get rid of raccoons.

    Animals in attics - this is our specialty at Pest Animal Removal Seattle. Many types of animals like to live in attics. This includes squirrels, raccoons, rats, mice, bats, birds, and even possums. Critters like to go into attics for a safe place to live and raise their young. Removing animals from attics is very complex work, partly because of the presence of baby animals. If you need Federal Way squirrel removal, we can remove all the squirrels from your attic, and seal out any future ones. Read more about how to get rid of squirrels.

    Rodent control must be done in a very specific way. First off, the most important thing is that all the openings that rats and mice can use to enter a house be sealed. Then all the rodents must be physically trapped and removed. Never, ever use poison! Most Federal Way exterminators will just use this lazy poison technique to kill rodents, and it causes more harm than good - dead stinky rats, and it doesn't solve the problem. Call us for correct Federal Way rat removal. Read more about how to get rid of rats.

    Bat removal is a highly specialized task. Washington is known to have colonizing bats who often live in buildings. Bats love attics. If not removed, the colony can grow to a very large size over the years. The bat droppings are often corrosive and cause health risks. The same goes for bird droppings on or in buildings. We perform Federal Way pigeon removal and bird control. But our specialty is Federal Way bat removal. We remove 100% of the bat colony and seal the building so that it's totally bat-proof. Read more about how to get rid of bats.

    If you have animals inside a house, no job is complete without proper exclusion repairs. If you simply hire a Federal Way trapper who only removes the critters, then the problem will return. You need to hire a Federal Way wildlife control company that identifies 100% of the animal entry points into your building, and seals them shut with professional repairs. In addition, in many cases animals have left waste or contamination behind, and you'll want a company that can provide professional cleaning services. Pest Animal Removal Seattle does both.

    The above are just some of the services offered by Pest Animal Removal Seattle. We also trap and remove animals that destroy lawns, such as moles, or digging animals. Sometimes animals like opossums will live under buildings, steal pet food, raid garbage cans, etc. Read about how to get rid of opossums. Skunks commonly live under sheds or decks, and set up a den. We can trap and remove them without them spraying. Read about how to get rid of skunks. Pest Animal Removal Seattle also provides dead animal removal in Federal Way. If you need help with any other wildlife conflict, from a fox, beaver, groundhog, or any other critter, we can solve it. We also do Federal Way snake removal - most of the snakes in Washington are not venomous, but call us if you want safe removal, or read about how to get rid of snakes in Federal Way. And remember, we are a private business, not King County Animal Control Services, so if you have a dog or cat problem, call the County at 253-835-7387. King County animal services does not handle any wildlife issues.

    Federal Way Wildlife Tip #1:
    Why Are There So Many Rats In NYC

    Millions of rats live in New York City and the range extends up to billions if we include other cities and farms as well on the globe. Even if they are not scary; they are just terrible as they cause lots of damage wherever they live.

    Rats love to discover the food supplies, eat lots of it, collect some amount of the winter season at its den and contaminate the rest with their urine and feces. Medical reports reveal that rats can spread a wide range of harmful bacteria and viruses that are dangerous enough for human life.

    They are living in New York City since the 1700s and you can easily notice them in parks, basements, and attics as well. Years ago, they came to this beautiful city via ships from England and France and they are enjoying their lives here so long. Reports show that NYC has the highest population of rats and many people are curious to know why it is so. Although this city serves high human activity and stays busy day and night, still rats are residing here safely without feeling scared of anything. They also move to the business houses and residential apartments in search of food and may create permanent homes in the building basements or attics.

    Note that rats are same as many other wild animals that keep on moving to the areas where enough food is available for their diet. They often prefer to live in the houses where they find too much leftover food, easy to access trash cans and other eatable stuff. Now as NYC serves a higher population of human beings, so there is naturally more chances food getting scattered here and there. In such situations, rats always find easy access to food items and they love the city life by all means.

    As per NYC state laws, it is illegal to kill or trap rats in the city so these tiny creatures are living their lives freely without feeling scared of anything. Their population is naturally growing day by day and it is the major cause of increasing cases of rat infestation as well. If you live in NYC and are suffering troubles due to rodent attacks in your house, it is good to use some home-based treatments to get rid of them fast. You can use some well-tested rat repellents that are easily available in the market; however, it is also possible to design your own repellent at home. Black pepper and red hot chili are considered as the best solution to rat removal. These methods are already used by several homeowners and they are satisfied with impressive results.

    Those who want to get rid of rats instantly are advised to use some home-based treatments that can take away rats without killing them. However, if you are not able to find right results; prefer to call professionals from your city as they can execute reliable rat removal process on your property.

    Washington Wildlife Information:

    Washington State bird: Willow goldfinch
    State mammal: Olympic marmot, orca
    State amphibian: Pacific tree frog
    State fish: Steelhead trout
    State insect: Green darner dragonfly

    Washington State is one of the lesser-publicized states in the country, largely because it is out of the path of many natural disasters like tornados, hurricanes, and powerful 'Nor-Easter' storms. The state has a stunning sea on its upper western corner. This sea is named the Salish Sea, and it is an inlet of the Pacific Ocean filled with hundreds of islands and deep bays. There are over 100 animal species that rely on the sea for food and shelter. Beyond the sea, heading inland, the state is divided north to south by the Cascade Mountains. This is only one of several large mountain ranges in Washington. On the western side of the divide, the weather is typically mild with cooler, wet winters. The eastern side of the divide is very opposite. There are dry areas that are considered deserts, and a large semi-arid region on the west side is used primarily for agriculture.

    The mountains in Washington are home to many large and small animals. The largest of these is the moose, which is rivaled only by grizzly bear in weight. Grizzlies are uncommon in the state, spotted only in the deepest parts of the Cascades. Their more common cousin, the black bear, is found in most of the region, and can be troublesome for people trying to keep birdfeeders up. The next creatures down the size chain are elk, cougars, and coyotes. Elk are herd animals, and they typically remain at the tops of mountains until winter snows drive them in to the valleys.

    It is not the large animals that are problems in the state of Washington. This state did not escape the attention of pest critters like raccoons, skunks, woodchucks, pocket gophers, bats and opossums. Anyone living close to the forested areas of the state will see these opportunistic animals, and they will undoubtedly see a fair share of squirrels, rats, and mice, too.

    The Salish Sea hosts just as many critters as do the mountains. In the sea, otters, whales, sea lions, seals, and blue heron are frequent visitors. Homeowners looking to live along the coast will eventually be exposed to the many land animals, like black bear, that come to enjoy the wealth of wildlife at the water's edge.

    You can always call Pest Animal Removal Seattle, any time of day, at 425-947-5348, for a price quote for Federal Way wildlife control services. I am confident that this is the best choice amongst wildlife removal companies in Federal Way, WA.
