About our service
Pest control for Manitou Springs, CO
Manitou Springs is home to roughly 4,600 people, and the places that anchor the city, including the Manitou Bathhouse, Miramont Castle, Cave of the Winds and Seven Minute Spring Park, show how many kinds of buildings are packed into a small space. Homes, shops, lodging and public buildings all have different weak points, and pests find them all. With winters this long, the real question for most property owners is how early to get ahead of the cold.
Natural Pest Solutions offers ant treatment, rodent control, spider control and pest inspections in Manitou Springs. We stick with natural pest control options and non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets, and there is never a long-term contract to sign.

What we deal with most around Manitou Springs, CO
Mice are the steady problem in Manitou Springs. About 240 nights a year fall at or below freezing, so from fall through spring rodents keep pushing toward the warmth of walls, attics and crawl spaces. Cluster flies and boxelder bugs cover sunny walls on warm autumn days, and spiders settle into basements, sheds and window wells. Carpenter ants show up where moisture has softened wood, such as around leaky gutters, decks and old window frames.
Summer is cooler than many people expect, with July highs of only about 74 degrees and no days at 90, so mosquito season is mild and wasps are a bigger seasonal nuisance around eaves and porches. Homes near wooded ground can also have ticks brought in by pets, which is worth keeping in mind for anyone who spends time on trails or in the yard with a dog.
Weather and pests
How Manitou Springs's weather affects pest activity
The weather in Manitou Springs is cool and snowy. January is the coldest month, with lows around 13 degrees, and July is the warmest, with highs near 74. A typical year brings about 24 inches of precipitation and roughly 134 inches of snow. August is the wettest month at about 3.9 inches, thanks to afternoon storms. All of these are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so use them as a guide, not a forecast.
Wet August storms leave damp soil against foundations and keep pooled water in gutters, which suits ants and other insects looking for shelter before autumn. Heavy winter snow then does the rest, pushing rodents into structures and leaving melting drifts along the base of walls where wood stays damp for weeks.
A good yearly plan here begins with cleaning gutters and sealing gaps in late summer, then treating the outside of the building before the first hard freeze. Through winter, check attics and storage areas for droppings and chewed material. In spring, walk your property after the thaw to look for damp spots, and trim back branches that touch the roof.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Manitou Springs
Ant treatment in Manitou Springs
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Manitou Springs, 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 Manitou Springs
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Manitou Springs 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 Manitou Springs
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 Manitou Springs home is built.
Cockroach control in Manitou Springs
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 Manitou Springs apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Manitou Springs
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 Manitou Springs
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Manitou Springs. 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.
