About our service
Pest control for Highland Park, IL
Highland Park has about 30,800 residents, and its neighborhoods range from Ravinia and Highmoor to Briergate, Woodridge and Lee Acres. Parks such as Sunset Woods Park, Rosewood Park, Leonardi Park and Jewett Park are woven through the area, and many properties back onto trees or open ground. That kind of setting is comfortable for people and equally comfortable for ants, ticks and mice.
Natural Pest Solutions offers ant treatment, rodent control, termite control and pest inspection to Highland Park homeowners and businesses. We use natural pest control options and non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets. No long-term contract is ever part of the deal, and your free quote arrives before any decision has to be made.

Pests in Highland Park
What we deal with most around Highland Park, IL
Older homes, mature trees and shaded yards make carpenter ants a common complaint in Highland Park. They nest in wet or rotted wood, and a soft spot in a window frame or porch post is often the giveaway. Termites move through soil and hidden gaps, and mosquitoes and ticks gather where yards meet wooded areas. Wasps are frequent guests under eaves and around decks in summer.
When the nights cool, mice and rodents search for warm wall voids, boxelder bugs and stink bugs cover south-facing walls, and spiders slip into basements. Cockroaches and fleas can appear indoors whenever moisture or pets are present, and bed bugs travel in luggage and used furniture. Our approach for each is to find the source, treat it carefully and then close the gaps that let it in.
Weather and pests
How Highland Park's weather affects pest activity
Highland Park has a full four-season climate. July highs average about 84 degrees, and January lows average about 16. About 128 nights a year fall to freezing or below, and about 17 days a year reach 90 or higher. In a typical year the area gets about 40 inches of precipitation and about 34 inches of snow, with May the wettest month at about 4.8 inches. These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and offer a guide, not a forecast.
For pests, the biggest swings are the wet May and the cold winter. Spring rain fills gutters and low spots, giving mosquitoes a head start, and snowmelt can leave foundations damp for weeks. Then winter pushes rodents and overwintering insects into attics, garages and crawl spaces, sometimes for months.
Our suggested approach is to clear gutters and check the foundation in April or May, watch standing water and trim overgrown shrubs through summer, and close entry points before the first freeze. Take a look at the basement and attic on a cold day to catch any activity early.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Highland Park
Ant treatment in Highland Park
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Highland Park, 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 Highland Park
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Highland Park 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 Highland Park
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 Highland Park home is built.
Cockroach control in Highland Park
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 Highland Park apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Highland Park
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 Highland Park
Highland Park'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.
