About our service
Pest control for Los Altos, CA
Los Altos is home to about 30,900 people and a generous list of small parks, including McKenzie Park, Cuesta Park, Bubb Park, Hillview Park and Shoup Park. Homes tend to sit close to green space like this, and yards, garden beds and mature plantings are where many household pest problems begin. The Los Altos History Museum and the Los Altos Library are part of everyday life here too, and every building, whatever its age, needs protecting from the same short list of invaders.
Natural Pest Solutions offers ant treatment, rodent control, spider control and pest inspection for Los Altos homes and small businesses. Our natural pest control options rely on non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets. You can begin with a free quote, and there is no long-term contract to sign afterward, so you stay in charge of how much service you want.

Pests we treat around Los Altos
Pests in Los Altos
What we deal with most around Los Altos, CA
Ants follow moisture and sweet food into kitchens, and they arrive in long trails once the rain begins. Carpenter ants excavate damp or damaged wood, while termites work quietly in the framing near the soil. Rats and mice climb from garden beds and fruit trees into attics and garages, and spiders settle into eaves, garages and woodpiles.
With only about 2 nights a year at or below freezing, few insects here are ever forced into a true winter shutdown. That means pest pressure is a year-round concern rather than a summer one, and mosquitoes can breed in a saucer of standing water in almost any month. A pest inspection in fall or early spring can spot the early signs before a small problem spreads.
Weather and pests
How Los Altos's weather affects pest activity
Los Altos has a mild, dry climate. July highs average about 77 degrees and January lows about 42, with September the warmest month and December the coldest. A typical year brings about 13 inches of precipitation and no measurable snow, and February is the wettest month at roughly 2.9 inches. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so treat them as a guide, not a forecast.
Because the rain is concentrated in the cooler months, the first storms of the wet season push ants and rodents indoors looking for dry shelter. Roughly 9 days a year reach 90 degrees, so summer heat is brief, but irrigation keeps yards damp all season and gives ants, spiders and mosquitoes what they need. Drip lines, saucers under planters and clogged gutters are common trouble spots.
A simple yearly rhythm works well here: trim shrubs and tree limbs back from the roofline in early fall, seal gaps around pipes and vents before the rains, empty standing water through the growing season, and check garages and attics in winter. A technician can adapt that list to your property once you ask for a quote.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Los Altos
Ant treatment in Los Altos
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Los Altos, 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 Los Altos
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Los Altos 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 Los Altos
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 Los Altos home is built.
Cockroach control in Los Altos
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 Los Altos apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Los Altos
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 Los Altos
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Los Altos. 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.
