About our service
Pest control for Glencoe, IL
Glencoe is home to about 8,700 people, and green space plays a big role in daily life here. Turnbull Woods, the Robert Everly Wildflower Sanctuary, Eklund Garden and parks like Watts Park, Shelton Park and Friends Park mean many yards sit close to trees and plantings. That is lovely for residents and equally attractive to ants, spiders, ticks and the rodents that follow them.
Natural Pest Solutions handles ant treatment, rodent control, termite control and pest inspection in Glencoe. We offer 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 attached. Ask for a free quote and we will talk through what makes sense for your home.

Pests we treat around Glencoe
Pests in Glencoe
What we deal with most around Glencoe, IL
Mature landscaping brings a particular set of concerns. Carpenter ants nest in old stumps, wet wood and tree limbs touching roofs, and termites move quietly through wood that is in contact with soil. Ticks ride in on pets and on people who have spent time in woods or gardens, mosquitoes breed in birdbaths and shady low spots, and wasps take over protected corners of porches and sheds.
About 128 nights a year at or below freezing means that rodents and overwintering insects look for shelter as early as October. Mice can slip through gaps around pipes and in crawl spaces, and boxelder bugs and stink bugs gather on walls where the sun warms them. Around 17 days a year hit 90 degrees or higher, and that summer heat speeds up ants and flies. Sealing and inspecting early beats treating late.
Weather and pests
How Glencoe's weather affects pest activity
Glencoe has cold winters and warm summers, with distinct changes in between. July highs average about 84 degrees, January lows average around 16, and the area gets roughly 40 inches of precipitation a year, including about 34 inches of snow. May tends to be the wettest month at nearly 5 inches. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so they are a guide and not a forecast.
Spring moisture wakes up almost everything at once. Ants trail into kitchens, mosquitoes look for standing water, and termites become more active in soil that stays damp. Heavy leaf litter, thick mulch and overgrown shrubs against the house all hold moisture and give pests cover, so pulling them back a few inches is one of the best steps a Glencoe homeowner can take.
A steady yearly routine helps. In spring, we suggest an exterior check and treatment as insects wake up. In summer, keep gutters clear and empty anything holding water. In fall, close off gaps before the first hard freeze, and in the depths of winter, check basements and attics for signs of visitors. If you want it laid out for your address, we are happy to do that.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Glencoe
Ant treatment in Glencoe
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Glencoe, 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 Glencoe
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Glencoe 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 Glencoe
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 Glencoe home is built.
Cockroach control in Glencoe
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 Glencoe apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Glencoe
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 Glencoe
Glencoe'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.
