About our service
Pest control for Highland, IL
Highland is a city of about 10,000 people. Local spots such as Silver Lake Park, KC Hall Park, Glik Park and Hoffman Park are familiar to families here. What matters for pests is that Highland is warm, fairly wet and has short winters, which gives insects a long season to be active around homes, yards and businesses.
Natural Pest Solutions provides ant treatment, rodent control, termite control and pest inspection in Highland. We offer natural pest control options built around non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets. You will not be asked to sign a long-term contract, and every job begins with a free quote.

Pests we treat around Highland
Pests in Highland
What we deal with most around Highland, IL
Highland's warm climate keeps ants, spiders and cockroaches busy for much of the year. Termites are a persistent concern for wood-framed homes, and carpenter ants move into wood that has taken on moisture. Fleas thrive in warm yards, and mosquitoes multiply quickly after rain, especially near parks and any low ground.
Ticks and wasps are common around parks and yard edges through the warm months. As fall arrives, stink bugs and boxelder bugs collect on sunny siding, and mice and other rodents go looking for shelter. The short winter does not shut insects down completely, so regular seasonal service tends to work better here than treating only when trouble appears.
Weather and pests
How Highland's weather affects pest activity
Highland is one of the warmer spots in the state. Using 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, July highs average about 90 degrees and January lows about 24, and roughly 53 days a year reach 90 or above. These numbers are a guide, not a forecast.
Precipitation totals about 43 inches in a typical year, with about 11 inches of snow, and May is the wettest month at around 5 inches. Lots of heat plus a wet spring make ideal mosquito weather, and damp soil near foundations invites termites and carpenter ants. Keep gutters clear, empty standing water, and pull mulch back from siding.
Only about 94 nights a year are at or below freezing, so pests stay active later into fall and start earlier in spring. Rodents still look for shelter when it turns cold, so sealing gaps around doors, pipes and vents in autumn is smart. In late winter, check garages, attics and crawl spaces so you know what needs attention before the warm season.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Highland
Ant treatment in Highland
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Highland, from sugar ants in kitchens to carpenter ants in damp or damaged wood. Hot summers keep colonies growing all season. 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
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Highland 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
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 home is built.
Cockroach control in Highland
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 apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Highland
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
Highland'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.
