About our service
Pest control for Chicago, IL
With about 2.7 million residents, Chicago puts more variety into a single service list than most pest companies see in an entire region. A technician working in Pilsen, Bridgeport, McKinley Park or Brighton Park deals with different building types, different yards and different neighbors on the other side of the wall, which is why we look at each property on its own terms instead of handing out a generic plan.
Natural Pest Solutions covers ant treatment, rodent control, cockroach control, bed bug treatment and more across the neighborhoods listed here. We offer natural pest control options and use non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets. Signing up never ties you down, since we do not require a long-term contract, and the first step is simply a free quote so you know what to expect.

Pests we treat around Chicago
Pests in Chicago
What we deal with most around Chicago, IL
In a dense place like this, shared walls and shared plumbing decide a lot. Cockroaches and mice travel between units through pipe chases and gaps around outlets, bed bugs ride in on luggage, used furniture and visitors, and rodents look for the food waste and warmth that collect in alleys and basements. Homes near green space such as Hoyne Park, Harrison Park and Davis Square Park also see ants, spiders and mosquitoes, plus carpenter ants wherever wood stays damp.
Chicago logs about 106 nights a year at or below freezing, so from late fall through winter, rodents and overwintering insects push hard to get indoors. Around 20 days a year reach 90 degrees or hotter, which speeds up ant and roach activity once the weather warms. A pest inspection before a problem settles in usually saves the most trouble, and multi-unit buildings do best when neighbors and landlords deal with pests together.
Weather and pests
How Chicago's weather affects pest activity
Winters here are long and cold. January lows average about 19 degrees, while July highs reach about 85. The area picks up about 34 inches of precipitation in a typical year, and May is usually the wettest month at roughly 4 inches. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so treat them as a guide, not a forecast.
A wet May sets up mosquito season, since standing water in clogged gutters, buckets and planters gives them a place to breed. Warm, humid weeks later on are when fleas and ticks become a headache for pet owners and for anyone with a yard or a spot near a park. Mosquito control and flea control both work best when they start before the first heavy round of activity, not after.
Cold snaps cause their own trouble. A hard freeze sends mice into garages, basements and wall voids, and a small gap beside a pipe or dryer vent is an easy way in. A workable Chicago calendar is simple: seal gaps and clear moisture in spring, drain standing water in summer, tighten up the exterior in fall, and check basements and storage areas through the winter.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Chicago
Ant treatment in Chicago
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Chicago, 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 Chicago
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Chicago 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 Chicago
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 Chicago home is built.
Cockroach control in Chicago
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 Chicago apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Chicago
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 Chicago
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Chicago. 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.
