A scratching in the wall at 2am, a wasp nest over the back door, rats finding the crawlspace. For animal removal in Seattle, these five companies have racked up 9,778 reviews between them, and every one holds at least a 4.8, so the gap that actually matters is response time and whether they seal entry points or just spray.
Short answer: Insight Pest Control tops the list by a mile, a 4.9 across a staggering 7,222 reviews, the deepest track record in Seattle for recurring pest and rodent control. PURCOR Pest Solutions (4.9, 1,367) adds termite and wildlife removal, and family-owned Cascade Pest Control (4.9, 816) is the specialist for rats, mice and exclusion work. A one-time treatment typically runs $150 to $300, with rodent removal and exclusion closer to $200 to $600.

Our take: Cascade holds the same 4.9 as the two above it on 816 reviews, which places it third. For a rodent problem that needs sealing out, not just knocking down, it's the specialist we'd pick.

Parker Eco Pest Control
4.8★★★★★238 Google reviews
Parker Eco Pest Control is a family-run Seattle company built specifically around eco-friendly, poison-free methods. It handles rodents, ants, spiders, and wasps and hornets, but the draw is the approach: humane snap traps instead of rodenticide, and rodent exclusion that seals entry points, with a partner specialist for larger rodent jobs. Reviewers who want to avoid poisons for the sake of pets or local wildlife single it out, and they praise techs like Kevin and Isaiah for spotting entry points other companies missed.
What people praise
- Poison-free, humane methods that appeal to pet owners and wildlife-conscious households
- Reviewers report techs finding and sealing entry points others overlooked
- Family-run, with staff praised as honest and low-pressure
- Fast response, often next-day, plus weekend hours
Worth knowing
- A smaller team, so availability can tighten during peak wasp season
- The eco approach can mean follow-up visits rather than one heavy treatment

Our take: Parker Eco carries a 4.8 on 238 reviews and ranks fourth. If keeping poisons away from pets and wildlife is a priority, it's the clear pick, just on a smaller sample than the top three.

AMPM Exterminators
4.8★★★★★135 Google reviews
AMPM Exterminators covers Seattle and King County with rodent, ant, wasp and cockroach control, plus building and structural pest inspections.

It's a practical call for urgent problems or a home-sale inspection.
What people praise
- Fast, same-day response, with reviewers reaching help within hours on a weekend
- Detailed pest inspections valued during real estate transactions
- Reviewers describe a long-term strategy rather than a one-off spray

Claim this spot › How we score them
Every scorecard reads straight from public Google data. Rating is the live star average. Review volume is how many customers rated a company, ranked against the rest of the Seattle pool. Confidence blends the two, so a 4.9 on thousands of reviews carries more weight than the same rating on a couple hundred. Recency tracks how lately people are still reviewing. No company can pay us to change any of these numbers.
What does pest and animal removal cost in Seattle? (2026)
Pricing depends on the pest, the size of the property and whether you need a one-time treatment or an ongoing plan. Rodent exclusion, which seals entry points, costs more than a spray because it’s labor and repair work. Use these as anchors, then get an on-site quote.
| Job | Typical price |
|---|
| One-time / initial pest treatment | $150 - $300 |
| Recurring plan (per visit) | $40 - $100 |
| Rodent removal and exclusion | $200 - $600 |
| Wasp or hornet nest removal | $100 - $300 |
Ranges compiled July 2026 from Angi and HomeGuide, cross-checked against price notes left in local Seattle reviews. Always get a written quote after an inspection. These are third-party averages, not quotes from the businesses on this page, so ask each company for its own written price.
Serving Seattle and King County
These companies cover Seattle proper and out across King County, from Ballard, Fremont and Queen Anne to Capitol Hill, West Seattle and the Eastside suburbs. If you’re searching for animal removal near me, response time and whether the company does exclusion, not just spraying, matter more than which neighborhood the office sits in, so ask about both when you call.
What to ask before you hire a pest company
- Are you licensed and insured in Washington, and can you show it?
- What treatment methods do you use, and are they safe around pets and kids?
- Is this a one-time visit or a contract, and how do I cancel if I move?
- Do you offer a guarantee or free re-treatment if the problem returns?
- For rodents, do you seal entry points (exclusion) or only set traps and bait?
- Will the same technician service my home each visit?
Frequently asked questions
Are these rankings paid?
No. Rankings come from public Google data, mainly live star ratings and review volume. A company can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another company’s score or position.
How did we choose these five?
We compared Seattle’s most-reviewed pest and animal-removal companies on Google, then weighed each one’s rating against how many customers left a review. When several share a 4.9, review volume breaks the tie, which is why the order runs from thousands of reviews down to a few hundred.
How much does pest or animal removal cost in Seattle?
Roughly $150 to $300 for a one-time treatment, $40 to $100 per visit on a recurring plan, and $200 to $600 for rodent removal with exclusion. A written quote after an inspection is the only accurate number.
Do these companies handle wildlife, not just insects?
Several do. PURCOR lists dedicated wildlife control and removal, while Cascade and Parker Eco specialize in rodent removal and exclusion. For raccoons, squirrels or larger wildlife, confirm the specific animal when you call.
How often is this page updated?
We last verified the ratings and review counts in July 2026 and refresh them as the public Google data changes.
The bottom line
For ongoing protection, Insight Pest Control is the safe default, backed by a review record nothing else in Seattle matches. If your problem is rodents in the crawlspace, Cascade’s exclusion work is the specialist call, and Parker Eco is the one to ring if you want to keep poisons away from pets. Whoever you pick, ask whether they seal entry points or just spray, since that’s the difference between fixing the problem and renting it.
