This is the government animal control services operating in King County and sponsored by the city of Seattle. This agency typically deals with domestic animal issues involving dogs and cats. This includes things like dangerous dogs, stray cats, pet adoptions, etc. However, this agency will sometimes lend assistance with wildlife concerns. Call 206-296-7387 and ask if they will assist with your wildlife problem. To increase the chance of success, do not lie, but if applicable, state that the problem is a public health matter in Seattle, or that you feel the public safety is at risk, perhaps due to the spread of rabies or other diseases.

This is NOT a government agency. It is privately run, and operates on volunteer donations. This is a wildlife rehabber facility that deals strictly with wild animals. They may be able to help you with your wildlife problem, depending on the type of problem. The level of help might depend on their resources at the time. They will almost surely help in any case of an injured wild animal, or an orphaned baby animal, such as a baby squirrel or bird that fell out of a tree, or a baby opossum, etc. Please treat Seattle Wildlife Rehabilitation kindly and donate if you are able to.

This is the statewide government wildlife agency in Washington, using your tax dollars to address wildlife issues. Sometimes called the Washington Fish & Wildlife Agency. Washington game wardens address many wildlife management matters, from hunting licenses, to poaching, endangered species, and yes, wildlife management. They deal with wild animals outside the range of a pest control company, such as cougars or bears. But they also have resources that may apply to your wildlife problem. To increase the chance of success, state that the problem is a public health matter in Washington perhaps due to the spread of rabies or other diseases.

Yes, the Seattle police department will sometimes help with wildlife problems! I've seen many cases of the cops chasing down an errant bat in your house or snake in your pool! To increase the chance of success, never lie to the police dispatcher, but if applicable, state that you feel your personal safety is at risk, or the problem is a public safety matter in Seattle, or a public health issue perhaps due to the spread of rabies or other diseases. Success may come down to whether or not a police officer wants to show up to this call, or is available. It's not always consistent.

If you can't manage to get free service, we can help. No free agency is going to provide the level of service we provide. We specialize in all aspects of wildlife control. It's what we do. If you have animals in your attic, for example, you need someone to inspect your home and attic, identify and remove the animals with advanced techniques and equipment, you need repairs to your roof or vents to keep critters out, and repair and cleanup in your attic. The Seattle or Washington government services aren't going to do that for you. Call us if you want to get:

• Fast Service: Usually Same-Day
• Animals Removed From Your Attic, With Home Repairs and Cleanup
• Complete and Permanent Removal of Rodents From Your Home
• Removal of a Bat Colony, or Prevention of Birds on Buildings
• Humane Treatment of Wildlife and Courteous Customer Service

We are not free, but our prices are reasonable and fair for the work we provide. Check our year 2022 prices for wildlife control work. Call us 24/7 to schedule an appointment: 206-829-4744

Seattle Wildlife Tip:
Humane rat traps a city -You can find humane traps in any city you live in, including a suburb. Humane traps include live traps or lethal traps. When dealing with rats, lethal trapping is almost always recommended. Nuisance rats are not easily removed from a home and relocated. Live rats that are accustomed to living near humans will not know how to survive in the wild. These nuisance rats are most effectively trapped with lethal traps and then disposed of. Lethal traps can be humane. Snap traps are one of the most humane traps available to professionals and homeowners. A snap trap will kill a rat instantly if it is set properly and is of the correct size. Other traps, like glue traps, are not as humane. Poison is not humane, either. Many homeowners think that because poisoned rats are out of sight, they must have died a peaceful death somewhere outside. That is far from the truth. Poisoned rats, if they eat the poison in the first place, often die a long, painful death inside of the home. The expense to find and remove the smelling carcass can be more than to have the live rats effectively trapped.
