About our service
Pest control for Athens, AL
Athens has grown faster than almost any place on our Alabama list, with its population up about 28 percent to roughly 32,600 people. New homes, fresh landscaping and disturbed soil bring ants, spiders, rodents and mosquitoes closer to families, and older houses near parks like Big Spring Park and Athens Swan Creek Park have their own aging-wood and moisture issues. Wherever you live in Athens, the pests are adjusting to a changing town.
Natural Pest Solutions provides ant treatment, termite control, rodent control and pest inspection for Athens homes and businesses. We offer natural pest control options, using non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets, and there is no long-term contract.

Pests we treat around Athens
Pests in Athens
What we deal with most around Athens, AL
Construction is a big driver of pest calls in a fast-growing place. Ants forage into new yards and homes, termites move through disturbed soil to reach wood, and mice find gaps around fresh siding, garage doors and utility openings. Spiders, cockroaches and stink bugs also settle into homes that are not yet fully sealed.
Around creeks and greenways, mosquitoes and ticks are a concern from spring onward, and fleas follow pets. Wasps build under eaves and playground equipment, carpenter ants nest in damp wood, and rodents look for warm attics and garages when the nights cool. Early prevention is easier than clearing an established problem. New homes are worth a look in their first year.
Weather and pests
How Athens's weather affects pest activity
Athens has warm summers and mild but real winters. July highs average about 90 degrees, and around 49 days a year reach 90 or higher. January lows average near 34, and about 63 nights a year fall to freezing or below, with only about an inch of snow in a typical year. These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so use them as a guide, not a forecast.
A typical year brings about 59 inches of precipitation, and December is the wettest month at over 6 inches. Wet winters and spring leave soil damp around foundations and give mosquitoes water to breed in as soon as the weather warms.
More than 60 freezing nights a year means rodents and overwintering insects press toward buildings each autumn. Seal gaps by October, fix drainage problems, keep firewood off the ground and clear gutters in spring and fall. During the summer, walk the yard weekly for standing water.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Athens
Ant treatment in Athens
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Athens, from sugar ants in kitchens to carpenter ants in damp or damaged wood. Activity climbs quickly once spring temperatures arrive. We find the trails and the nest, treat where the colony lives and follow up so they do not simply return.
Rodent control in Athens
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Athens buildings offer plenty of all three. They can be a year-round issue. Our exclusion-based approach combines inspection, sealing entry points, trapping and monitoring, so you fix the reason rodents got in, not only the rodents you can see.
Termite control in Athens
Termites are a quiet threat because damage often goes unnoticed for years. Regular moisture around foundations makes regular checks especially worthwhile. We inspect for mud tubes, damaged wood and moisture problems, then treat with a plan matched to how your Athens home is built.
Cockroach control in Athens
Cockroaches are hard to get rid of with store-bought sprays. We locate the hiding places, treat cracks, crevices and voids, and use monitoring so we know the treatment worked. It is a common request in Athens apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Athens
Most spiders are harmless, but nobody wants webs around the door or a spider in the basement. We remove webs and egg sacs, treat the perimeter and reduce the insects that spiders feed on, which keeps them from coming back.
Mosquito control in Athens
Athens's wet weather makes mosquitoes a real nuisance. We treat resting areas in your yard, help you find and remove breeding sites and schedule visits through the warm season so you can use your yard again.
