About our service
Pest control for Albany, CA
About 19,400 people call Albany home, and the places they gather say a lot about what a pest technician sees here: Albany Hill Park and Creekside Park for green space, Point Isabel Regional Shoreline and the Albany Bulb for open ground, and neighborhoods such as Albany Hill, University Village, Richmond Annex and Ocean View where homes and yards sit close together. Pests follow food, water and shelter, and close quarters make all three easy to find.
Natural Pest Solutions helps Albany households with cockroach control, ant treatment, rodent control and bed bug treatment, along with routine pest inspection. We stand behind natural pest control options built on non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets. There is no long-term contract to worry about, and every job begins with a free quote.

Pests in Albany
What we deal with most around Albany, CA
In a place where buildings share walls and lots are close together, pests travel easily from one address to the next. Ants trail along fences and pipes, cockroaches move through shared plumbing, and mice and rats squeeze through gaps around utility lines. Spiders settle in garages and sheds, and fleas can ride in on pets after time outdoors. Bed bugs are a concern in any home where furniture, luggage or secondhand items come and go.
Albany sees roughly a single freezing night in an average year, which means the cold never forces these pests into a true off-season. Activity does shift with rainfall, though, so it helps to time exterior work for the weeks before and after the wettest stretch of the year.
Weather and pests
How Albany's weather affects pest activity
Albany stays cool and dry for much of the year. The numbers below are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals gathered at a nearby weather station, and they are meant to guide planning rather than predict any single season. July highs sit around 74 degrees, January lows near 43, September tends to be the warmest month and December the coldest.
Expect about 26 inches of precipitation over a year and no snow at all. December brings the most rain, close to 5 inches, and about 6 days a year climb to 90 degrees or more. When the first storms arrive, mice, rats and ants look for dry corners inside walls, crawl spaces and pantries. When the ground dries out again, standing water in planters and clogged drains becomes a place for mosquitoes.
For an Albany home, we usually suggest a light but steady routine. Seal gaps and check screens before the rains, look for leaks and damp wood in spring, empty containers that hold water through summer, and store food in tight lids year round.

How we fix it
Pest control services in Albany
Ant treatment in Albany
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Albany, 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 Albany
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Albany 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 Albany
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 Albany home is built.
Cockroach control in Albany
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 Albany apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Albany
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 Albany
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Albany. 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.
