Pest control for Fairbanks, AK
Winters in Fairbanks are long enough that a warm building becomes the most attractive real estate around, and everything from mice to spiders behaves accordingly. With about 31,732 residents, the city has houses, apartments and public buildings such as the Noel Wien Public Library, the Carlson Center and the Big Dipper Ice Arena, and each one has doors, vents and loading areas that pests can use.
Natural Pest Solutions provides ant treatment, rodent control and pest inspection for homes and businesses here. Our natural pest control options rely on non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets. We keep it simple: no long-term contract, and a free quote before any work is scheduled, so you can weigh the plan at your own pace.

Pests in Fairbanks
What we deal with most around Fairbanks, AK
Mosquitoes are the summer headline in Fairbanks. Standing water in ditches, old tires and low ground lets them multiply quickly, and mosquito control around the yard makes evenings outside far more pleasant. Wasps set up in eaves and sheds during the warm months, and fleas can arrive on pets and settle into carpets before anyone notices.
Once cold weather returns, the pressure shifts indoors. Mice squeeze through gaps around pipes and garage doors, spiders settle into basements and storage rooms, and carpenter ants can tunnel through damp wood in heated homes. Cockroaches and bed bugs are less common but do turn up in multi-unit buildings, so a prompt response matters the moment you spot one. Catching an issue early keeps a small nuisance from becoming a winter-long headache.
Weather and pests
How Fairbanks's weather affects pest activity
Fairbanks is a place of extremes. The average July high is about 73 degrees, while the average January low is around 15 below zero, and January is the coldest month. Only about 13 inches of precipitation falls in a typical year, yet roughly 58 inches of snow comes with it. July is the wettest month at about 2.6 inches, and the records show no days at 90 degrees or above.
These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, meant as a guide rather than a forecast. With roughly 227 nights a year at or below freezing, heated indoor space is the safest place for a pest to spend the winter. A rainy July, small as the total looks, still fills low spots with standing water right in the middle of the warm season.
Timing your prevention around those extremes is what works. When the ground thaws in spring, inspect the foundation, skirting and sheds for gaps. In early summer, clear standing water and repair screens. As nights turn cold again, close openings around pipes, vents and doors before rodents come looking. During deep winter, check attics and storage areas for droppings or noises, because a problem that starts in December can grow all season.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Fairbanks
Ant treatment in Fairbanks
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Fairbanks, 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 Fairbanks
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Fairbanks buildings offer plenty of all three. With a long cold season, the pressure builds every fall. 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 Fairbanks
Termites are a quiet threat because damage often goes unnoticed for years. A yearly inspection costs little next to the cost of repairs. We inspect for mud tubes, damaged wood and moisture problems, then treat with a plan matched to how your Fairbanks home is built.
Cockroach control in Fairbanks
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 Fairbanks apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Fairbanks
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 Fairbanks
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Fairbanks. 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.
