Rodent Extermination and Bellevue’s Building Code in Bellevue, WA
On January 1, 2017 Bellevue officially updated the Building Code. This update requires all demolition projects to complete a rat extermination program in order to obtain a demolition permit from the city of Bellevue. Without a defined plan of action for rat abatement, demolition projects will be denied permits.

Do the New Rodent Extermination Guidelines Apply to My Project?
If you applied for a demolition permit before January 2017, the Building Code update does not apply to you. But any projects since that date must follow stringent rat removal requirements before demolition can begin. The rat abatement, or rat extermination, must take place at least 15 days before scheduled demolition. If you don’t have any rats present in the building (very rare in Bellevue, these days) you must get a professional and licensed pest control company to provide proof that there are no rodents in the building before you can begin the project.
United Pest Solutions is very familiar with these updated changes, and we’ve been providing rat extermination services in Bellevue WA for over 50 years. We have the rat extermination experience and knowledge of Bellevue’s building codes that you need!
