"Every building in Seattle
is a habitat.
The question is: who else
is living in yours?"

What does a quarterly commercial contract actually cover?
A quarterly contract with Critter covers scheduled inspections every 90 days, unlimited callback visits between cycles, and a written service report after every technician visit — formatted for your property management records.
Each cycle includes exterior perimeter treatment, interior bait station monitoring, crawlspace inspection for moisture damage and rodent ingress, and a condition report on entry points and conducive conditions.
- Exterior rodent bait stations — checked, re-baited, and documented
- Crawlspace inspection for moisture, frass, and gnaw marks
- Interior monitoring stations in utility rooms, kitchens, and common areas
- Pest-free certification letter available for lender or insurance requests
"Most property managers have never seen the inside of their crawlspace. We have. Every 90 days."

Managing more than 10 units in Seattle?
A portfolio assessment takes 20 minutes. The liability it prevents can be significant.
How do you handle an active rat problem in a 200-unit building without disrupting residents?
Active infestations in occupied multi-unit buildings require a different protocol than single-family work. We schedule technician access in 90-minute building windows, working floor by floor with building management to coordinate unit entry.
Our rodent elimination program for large residential buildings uses tamper-resistant interior stations, exterior perimeter exclusion, and a documented ingress-point remediation list — delivered to your maintenance team within 48 hours of the initial assessment.
- Coordinated entry scheduling to minimize tenant disruption
- Tamper-resistant bait stations rated for occupied residential use
- Ingress map: every identified entry point photographed and catalogued
- Remediation punch list formatted for your maintenance team
"Rats don't respect lease agreements. Your pest control program shouldn't either."
Case Study
South Lake Union — 214-Unit Mixed-Use Tower

Active infestation resolved in 3 weeks. Ongoing quarterly contract now covers all common areas and parking structure.
What do Seattle health inspectors actually look for in a commercial kitchen — and how do we stay ahead of it?
King County Environmental Health inspectors are specifically trained to identify evidence of pest activity: frass deposits behind equipment, gnaw marks on utility penetrations, rodent rub marks along baseboards, and live or dead insects in dry storage areas.
Critter's commercial kitchen program is built around inspection readiness, not reactive response. We schedule service visits in the week before your anticipated inspection window and provide a signed pest management log you can present to the inspector on arrival.
- Pre-inspection service visit — scheduled around your inspection window
- Signed, dated pest management log formatted for King County Health
- Equipment pull and treatment behind fryers, prep tables, and dishwashers
- Drain fly and German cockroach protocols specific to commercial kitchens
"The inspector isn't looking for pests. They're looking for evidence. We make sure there isn't any."
