Frequently Asked Questions
How do I handle rats in my Tacoma home?
The Pacific Northwest is prone to rat infestations. Professional resolution requires a "full-structure exclusion" approach—identifying and sealing every entry point larger than 1/4 inch with gnaw-proof materials once the existing animals are trapped.
Are raccoons protected in Washington State?
While not endangered, there are specific regulations regarding the relocation and trapping of raccoons. It is highly recommended to use a professional specialist to ensure the removal is humane and compliant with WDFW standards.
