Hearing strange noises above your ceiling? Noticing musky odors in your attic? Did you see the damage to your roof?

Bellevue still has many critters that interact in the urban environment and come into contact with its residents.  Some of the animals we control in Bellevue have ranged from smaller critters, such as bats, rats, and squirrels, to larger animals, such as raccoons, otters, and beavers.

Having an animal like a raccoon, squirrel, or bat in your home will keep you awake. Trust your local Seattle Critter Control team to get rid of the pests so you can sleep easy.

Common Wildlife Problems in Bellevue

With Lake Washington on the West and Lake Sammamish on the East, Bellevue has many avenues for wildlife to interact with its residents. We have dealt with some animals that cause damage to houses, as well as houseboats and boat houses! 

Wildlife removal in Bellevue is governed by Washington state laws that protect both homeowners and native species. Critter Control is fully licensed and insured, ensuring all removal practices comply with local and state regulations.

Squirrels are notorious for invading attics and crawlspaces. Whether Douglas squirrels, eastern gray squirrel, or flying squirrel, they gnaw through wiring and insulation, creating fire hazards and costly repairs. Critter Control uses humane exclusion devices and repairs entry points to keep squirrels out for good.

Raccoons are highly adaptable and often raid trash cans or nest in chimneys and attics. Their strength and dexterity allow them to cause significant property damage. Some of the raccoon population in Bellevue has been infected with canine distemper. There are times when we are contacted to trap “delirious” raccoons roaming around in urban and woodsy areas.

Norway and roof rats, plus house mice, invade homes unseen, leaving gnawed wires, siding, cabinets and yard burrows as evidence. Squeezing through small gaps, these disease-carrying rodents breed rapidly. Learn about managing rats and mice.

Opossum in Attic

Opossums frequently nest under decks, sheds, and crawlspaces, especially in areas near water sources like Ralston Creek. While generally not aggressive, they can create messes and attract other pests. We humanely trap and relocate opossums, then block off access points.

 

Bat Removal

Bats in Bellevue often roost in attics, eaves, and wall voids, especially in older homes. Because bats are protected, Critter Control uses exclusion devices that allow bats to exit but not re-enter, followed by sealing entry points and cleaning up hazardous guano.

 

Skunk Control

Skunks have been a menace in the tide flats of Bellevue as well.  In one commercial area we trapped 22 skunks that had been living and nesting under their office and storage buildings.  The noxious smell was making the employees nauseous as well as permeating their clothes.

 

Our Wildlife Removal Process

With a vast network of green spaces, miles and miles of nature trails, public parks and swim beaches, means residents face a wide range of wildlife issues, from attic-dwelling squirrels to raccoons raiding trash bins. Our proven 4-step wildlife removal process is designed to address these challenges, combining thorough inspection, humane removal, expert repairs, sanitation, and prevention to deliver permanent solutions for every situation.

STEP 1

Inspection & Identification

There’s a reason our trucks have 40 foot ladders. We check your entire home to  identify the species involved, entry points, and nesting sites. We pay special attention to seasonal activity patterns and vulnerabilities unique to Colorado’s climate, such as increased attic invasions during cold snaps or after spring storms.

STEP 2

Humane Removal & Trapping

Using safe, species-specific methods, we humanely exclude or trap nuisance wildlife common to Bellevue, including squirrels, raccoons, bats, and more. Our approach minimizes stress for the animals and ensures compliance with local regulations.

STEP 3

Animal Control & Exclusions

After removal, we seal all entry points with chew-resistant materials, such as metal flashing or hardware cloth, to prevent future infestations. This step is crucial in Bellevue’s variable weather, which can cause building materials to expand and contract, creating new gaps.

STEP 4

Remediation & Repairs

We clean and sanitize contaminated areas, removing animal waste and damaged materials to protect your family’s health. Our team restores affected spaces, ensuring your home is safe, clean, and secure.
