About our service
Pest control for Downers Grove, IL
Downers Grove, home to about 50,600 people, has plenty of parks for a place its size: Doerhoefer Park, Gilbert Park, Prince Park, Fishel Park, Hoopers Hollow Park, Sterling North Park and Bending Oaks Park are only a few. Yards near open ground tend to draw more insects and wildlife, so a little planning around the edges of a property goes a long way.
If you need ant treatment, rodent control, termite control or a general pest inspection, Natural Pest Solutions can help. We choose natural pest control options wherever they fit and rely on non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets. There is no long-term contract to sign, and each job starts with a free quote that spells out the plan.

Pests in Downers Grove
What we deal with most around Downers Grove, IL
The pests we see most in Downers Grove follow the seasons. Ants wake up in spring, mosquitoes and wasps are busy all summer, and by fall mice and other rodents are checking foundations, garage doors and vents for a way in. Carpenter ants settle into wet or rotting wood, spiders spread through basements and window wells, and cockroaches take up residence near leaky plumbing.
Homes near parks and shaded lots may also notice more ticks and more fleas, especially when pets roam the yard. Late in the year, stink bugs and boxelder bugs cling to warm walls and slip inside through small gaps around windows. Termites deserve special attention because they feed out of sight, and a yearly check of soil-contact wood, mulch beds and foundation edges is a smart habit.
Weather and pests
How Downers Grove's weather affects pest activity
Downers Grove has cold winters and warm summers. Here are the 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, meant as a guide, not a forecast: July highs average about 84 degrees, January lows about 15, and the area sees roughly 40 inches of precipitation in a typical year. May is the wettest month, at around 4.8 inches.
The season for cold weather is long, with about 144 nights a year at or below freezing, and that pushes rodents and overwintering insects to look for warm structures for months. Summers are warm but not extreme, with about 17 days a year reaching 90 degrees. Even so, the wet weather of May followed by humid evenings gives mosquitoes and ants a strong start.
For Downers Grove homes, the calendar is straightforward. Early spring is for sealing cracks and clearing debris near the foundation. Late spring is for exterior treatment and gutter checks. Summer is for tackling standing water and wasp nests. Autumn is for closing gaps and trimming plants back. Winter is for checking basements and attics. We can adjust each step for your house.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Downers Grove
Ant treatment in Downers Grove
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Downers Grove, 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 Downers Grove
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Downers Grove 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 Downers Grove
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 Downers Grove home is built.
Cockroach control in Downers Grove
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 Downers Grove apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Downers Grove
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 Downers Grove
Downers Grove'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.
