About our service
Pest control for Old Lyme, CT
Old Lyme is home to about 7,700 people, and its landmarks include Florence Griswold Museum, Old Lyme Green, Hains Park, Rocky Neck State Park and Great Island Nature Area. Being near water and marsh gives the area a distinct pest profile, since moisture and mild conditions suit many insects far longer than in colder parts of the state.
Natural Pest Solutions provides ant treatment, rodent control, termite control, mosquito control and pest inspection for Old Lyme properties. We use natural pest control options and non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets. You are free of any long-term contract, and a free quote will tell you exactly where things stand.

Pests in Old Lyme
What we deal with most around Old Lyme, CT
Mosquitoes are the main story near wet ground, ponds and shaded yards, and they can be active for a long season. Ticks wait in tall grass and along wooded edges, especially where lawns meet brush. Carpenter ants and termites thrive in damp wood around decks, sills and foundations, especially where humidity lingers.
Mice and other rodents move into garages and basements when the temperature drops, and spiders and wasps take advantage of sheltered corners and eaves. Stink bugs, fleas and cockroaches can all show up in the right conditions. Steady exterior treatment and fixing moisture problems are the two best steps for keeping them away, and both are easier to manage before the busy season starts than after.
Weather and pests
How Old Lyme's weather affects pest activity
Old Lyme's numbers come from 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals at a nearby weather station, and they are a guide, not a forecast. July highs average about 80 degrees and January lows about 23. A typical year brings about 39 inches of precipitation, and September is the wettest month at around 3.8 inches.
This is one of the milder spots in the region. Only about 2 days a year reach 90 degrees, and roughly 107 nights fall to freezing or below. Milder winters mean many insects go dormant for a shorter time, so activity can start early in spring and linger into late fall. A wet September, when pests are settling in for the cool season, is a good reminder to check drainage and gutters.
In Old Lyme, we suggest starting exterior checks a little earlier in spring than you might expect, watching for standing water through the summer, and sealing gaps around doors and vents in early fall. During the cooler months, keep an eye on crawl spaces and garages, where rodents tend to nest out of sight.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Old Lyme
Ant treatment in Old Lyme
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Old Lyme, 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 Old Lyme
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Old Lyme 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 Old Lyme
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 Old Lyme home is built.
Cockroach control in Old Lyme
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 Old Lyme apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Old Lyme
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 Old Lyme
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Old Lyme. 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.
