Introducing Eastside Exterminators

We’re excited to introduce our customers to Eastside Exterminators, who have taken over our Rodent Control services following our recent acquisition. Eastside has protected homes in Western Washington since 1969 and are well known and trusted in the community.

The 4-Step Process

Eastside brings with them 50+ years of experience in rodent control, as well as new offerings for our customers, including rodent exclusion and SMART technology home pest monitoring. They take a 4-step approach to total rodent elimination.

  1. Rodent Inspection & Trap Placement – Our trained inspectors will carefully and thoroughly inspect your entire home to identify all current and potential entry points and set traps in and around the house.
  2. Exclusion – An exclusion technician will seal all entry points identified by the inspector, ensuring your home is secure and protected against rodents. They will also check and manage the initial traps, removing rodents and replacing traps as needed.
  3. Follow Up & Removal – After repairs have been made, an inspector will check the exclusion work and re-inspect your property for any new signs of rodent activity. They will also check traps and ensure exterior systems are in place.
  4. Cleanup & Sanitation – Once the rodents have been evicted and the entry points sealed, our sanitation experts will remove all rodent-contaminated materials and sanitize and deodorize the affected areas. If needed, our team of insulation experts will reinstall new, up-to-code insulation materials.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

According to the US Census, Seattle is one of the rattiest cities in the nation. This high rodent population not only poses health risks and damages, but also challenges residents and businesses to implement effective control measures. However, rodent control requires a professional, trained eye because they can squeeze through gaps as small as 1/4 of an inch. Rodents also leave plenty of clues: some are subtle, others impossible to miss. The most common signs of a rodent problem include:

  • Droppings: Small, dark pellets (often found under sinks, in cabinets, along walls, or near food sources).
  • Noises at night: Scratching, scurrying, or gnawing sounds in walls, ceilings, or crawl spaces – especially after dark.
  • Gnaw marks: Chewed wires, baseboards, insulation, or food packaging.
  • Grease trails: Dark, greasy rub marks along walls or baseboards from repeated rodent travel paths.
  • Nests: Shredded paper, insulation, or fabric bundled together in hidden areas.
  • Unusual pet behavior: Cats and dogs suddenly staring, pawing, or sniffing at walls, appliances, or specific rooms.
  • Strong odors: A musky, ammonia-like smell that intensifies as the infestation grows.
  • Footprints or tail marks: Visible in dusty areas like basements, garages, or attic storage.

If you’re noticing any of these signs, chances are rodents have already settled in. Catching the issue early is key, followed by professional inspection and exclusion, which can prevent damage, contamination, and a growing population.

Most pest control companies rely on the effectiveness of poisonous baits to control rodents. However, these can be dangerous to children and pets if not properly placed and monitored. Poisons also take a long time to kill the animals, which means they can die within your walls. Lastly, the poison enters the food chain and can impact local cats, birds and other animals who eat the rodents. All of our traps are baited with non-toxic, natural peanut butter. We also offer rat birth control.

  • Consider an owl box. A single owl can consume up to 12 rodents per night, making them an ideal partner for natural pest control.
  • Keep clutter and garbage to a minimum. Rodents can nest in clothing, paper, and linens (just to name a few) and make it their habitat.
  • Keeping a foot-wide perimeter around your home clear of shrubs, garbage, lawn debris, woodpiles, etc.
  • Removing any standing water around the property to reduce the number of watering sites.
  • Keeping pet food and other food sources in secure containers and locations.

Parker Eco Pest Control specializes in natural, poison-free rodent control designed to solve the problem at the source. Our technicians start with a detailed inspection to identify how rodents are getting in, where they’re nesting, and what’s attracting them. From there, we use eco-friendly trapping, targeted bait, and professional exclusion work – sealing entry points, installing gutter flashing, trench-and-screen systems, and other long-term barriers.

We also offer innovative options like rat birth control to reduce population pressure without relying on toxic rodenticides. Our approach focuses on lasting results in their presence and prevention, not quick chemical fixes, so your home stays safe, healthy, and rat-free.

If you’re seeing signs of activity, our pest control experts can help restore peace of mind with solutions that protect both your home and the environment. Have questions or need more information? Contact us today!
