What we see locally
Pest patterns in Greenwood & Phinney Ridge
Many homes here date from the first half of the 1900s and sit over crawl spaces with original vent screens. Alleys, garages and compost bins give rats food and cover, and the fall rain pushes them under the house.
Phinney Ridge's slopes and the green space around Woodland Park add roof rats and squirrels in the trees, while Crown Hill's mix of older homes and newer infill brings mice into fresh construction gaps.
We serve these neighborhoods daily from downtown, with urgent calls usually handled the same or next day.
Local advice
Alleys, garages and compost
Detached garages and alley-side storage are common rat harborage here. Keep stored items off the floor, close gaps under garage doors, and do not store pet food or birdseed in the garage in open bags.
Compost is fine with the right setup: a closed bin with a solid base or hardware cloth beneath it, set away from the foundation. Open piles near the house invite rats.
Original crawl space screens on older bungalows are often the main entry. Replacing them with quarter-inch galvanized hardware cloth is one of the most effective fixes for this area.
