About our service
Pest control for Canterbury, CT
Canterbury Green, the Prudence Crandall Museum and the Canterbury Center Historic District tell you a good deal about the kinds of buildings we visit here. About 5,200 residents live in and around them, and older structures need a slightly different approach to pest work than a new house does. We look closely at foundations, porches and any place where wood meets ground.
Natural Pest Solutions offers ant treatment, rodent control, termite control and pest inspection in Canterbury. We rely on natural pest control options and use non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets. To get started, ask for a free quote, and expect no long-term contract when the work is done.

Pests we treat around Canterbury
Pests in Canterbury
What we deal with most around Canterbury, CT
Homes with age tend to have more of the pests that depend on wood and moisture. Carpenter ants excavate soft or damp timber, termites feed on framing that touches soil, and spiders and cockroaches tuck into cellars, closets and utility rooms. Old stone or brick foundations can also leave hairline openings for mice, which need very little space to enter.
Surrounding fields, forest and river land bring more visitors. Mosquitoes and ticks are the main outdoor nuisances, wasps nest in porch ceilings and outbuildings, and stink bugs and boxelder bugs cling to sunny walls in autumn. A steady schedule of exterior maintenance helps far more than a single visit after an infestation takes hold.
Weather and pests
How Canterbury's weather affects pest activity
These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and they are a guide, not a forecast. The July high averages about 80 degrees, the January low about 17, and January is the coldest month. Canterbury sees about 51 inches of precipitation in a typical year, and December is the wettest month at around 4.8 inches.
There are about 142 nights a year at or below freezing, a long run of cold that keeps rodents and overwintering insects pushing toward buildings. Only about 3 days a year reach 90 degrees, so summer heat is modest, but humidity and plentiful rain still make mosquitoes and ants active from late spring into early fall.
A wet December means wet soil near foundations well into the cold season. That makes it worth checking gutters, downspouts and cellar walls before winter, then again after the spring thaw. Add a late-summer look at wasp nests and a fall exterior treatment, and the year is well covered.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Canterbury
Ant treatment in Canterbury
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Canterbury, 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 Canterbury
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Canterbury 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 Canterbury
Termites are a quiet threat because damage often goes unnoticed for years. Regular moisture around foundations makes regular checks especially worthwhile. We inspect for mud tubes, damaged wood and moisture problems, then treat with a plan matched to how your Canterbury home is built.
Cockroach control in Canterbury
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 Canterbury apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Canterbury
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 Canterbury
Canterbury's wet weather makes mosquitoes a real nuisance. 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.
