Pest control for Truckee, CA
Winter is the defining season in Truckee, and it shapes every pest call we get. With about 17,200 residents and neighborhoods such as Tahoe Donner, Donner Crest, Gray's Crossing, Armstrong and Prosser Lake Heights, homes here are built to hold heat through long, cold months, which is exactly what rodents and overwintering insects look for.
Natural Pest Solutions provides rodent control, ant treatment, carpenter ant work, spider control and pest inspection in Truckee. We use natural pest control options with non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets, and we never require a long-term contract. Ask for a free quote and we will explain your options before we start.

Pests we treat around Truckee
Pests in Truckee
What we deal with most around Truckee, CA
Mice are the pest most residents run into, and they move into garages, crawl spaces and wall voids as soon as nights turn cold. Rodents such as rats can follow, chewing insulation and wiring. Carpenter ants excavate wood that has been softened by melting snow and ice dams, and spiders and cluster flies tuck into attics and window frames to wait out the cold.
Truckee has about 229 freezing nights a year, which means shelter-seeking pests have a very long season of pressure on your walls and roofline. Summer is short, with about 10 days at 90 degrees or higher, but wasps, ticks and mosquitoes make the most of it. Because buildings are heated for months, insects that would die outdoors can survive inside.
Weather and pests
How Truckee's weather affects pest activity
Truckee has a cold, snowy climate with mild summers. The figures here are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and are a guide, not a forecast. July is the warmest month with highs around 84 degrees, and January lows average about 16 degrees. December is the coldest month.
A typical year brings about 31 inches of precipitation, including roughly 207 inches of snow, and January is the wettest month at nearly 6 inches. Deep snow buries entry points and insulates rodents that tunnel along foundations, and spring melt sends water into crawl spaces and wood framing. Once the ground thaws, ants and mosquitoes become active around wet areas.
Good Truckee habits start in the fall: seal gaps around utility lines, vents and garage doors before the first heavy snow, and stack firewood away from the house. In spring, check for water damage and ant activity as the snow recedes. When you would like a technician to review your property and suggest a schedule, request a free quote.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Truckee
Ant treatment in Truckee
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Truckee, 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 Truckee
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Truckee 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 Truckee
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 Truckee home is built.
Cockroach control in Truckee
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 Truckee apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Truckee
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 Truckee
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Truckee. 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.
