Precision Pest Control works commercial accounts across Tacoma, from restaurants along Sixth Avenue and the Proctor District to warehouses and distribution buildings down in the Tideflats near the Port of Tacoma. Food service and freight are both part of daily life in this city, and both bring pest pressure that a typical home never sees.


Rats are a constant around the Port of Tacoma and the warehouses lining the Tideflats, where freight, pallets, and standing water give them cover close to loading docks. Cockroaches and ants follow food service into kitchens along Sixth Avenue and the Stadium District, moving in through deliveries and drains. We treat subterranean termites in older commercial buildings near downtown, where original wood framing sits closer to grade than current code allows. Stinging insects nest under eaves and dock canopies through summer, bed bugs turn up in hotels near the convention district, and fleas ride in with pets at boarding and grooming businesses around the city.
Tacoma runs on two industries that both create real pest pressure, the working port and a food service scene that has grown fast downtown and in the Proctor District. Warehouses and cold storage buildings in the Tideflats near the Port of Tacoma see rats and mice moving in from freight yards and rail lines, and a single gap around a loading dock door can undo weeks of otherwise clean service. We work those accounts on a documented schedule, because a food handler permit or a health inspection depends on paperwork we can hand over, not just a technician's word that the building was treated.
Restaurants and breweries along Sixth Avenue and in the Stadium District deal with a different problem, cockroaches and ants that come in through deliveries, floor drains, and shared walls with neighboring units. We treat those kitchens around service hours rather than shutting a business down, and we keep records that hold up if a health inspector asks for them. Hotels near the convention center see occasional bed bug calls tied to turnover, and warehouses with heavy pallet storage need routine monitoring rather than a one-time spray, since new product coming off a truck can reintroduce pests within days of a clean inspection.
