About our service
Pest control for Markham, IL
Markham is a city of about 11,300 people, and nature preserves are a big part of its character. The Gensburg-Markham Prairie Nature Preserve and the Dropseed Prairie Nature Preserve sit alongside neighborhood parks such as Roesner Park, McNeil Park, Lone Pine Park, Donnelly Park, Cooper Park and Dresser Park. Prairie and park land are great for wildlife, and they also mean insects and rodents live close to nearby homes.
Natural Pest Solutions offers ant treatment, rodent control, mosquito control and termite control to Markham homes and businesses. Our natural pest control options use non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets, and there is no long-term contract. A free quote is the place to start, and we will explain each recommendation in plain terms.

Pests we treat around Markham
Pests in Markham
What we deal with most around Markham, IL
Tall grass and prairie edges are ideal for ticks and mosquitoes, so people who walk pets or play near green space should check for both. Mice and rats use brush and leaf litter to move toward foundations, and about 126 nights a year at or below freezing gives them every reason to try. Carpenter ants and termites are drawn to damp wood, and spiders build in porches, eaves and window frames.
Summers are moderate, with about 16 days at 90 degrees or higher, but warm spells still bring wasps, ants and flies. Fleas ride in on pets, cockroaches do well in kitchens and basements, and bed bugs can hitchhike into any home. In the fall, stink bugs and boxelder bugs collect on sunny siding and squeeze in through the smallest cracks.
Weather and pests
How Markham's weather affects pest activity
Markham's climate has warm summers and long, cold winters. July highs average about 84 degrees and January lows average around 15. A typical year brings about 42 inches of precipitation and about 28 inches of snow, and June is the wettest month at roughly 4.9 inches. These numbers are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so they are a guide and not a forecast.
A wet June follows the spring thaw and keeps the ground damp well into summer. That is good for mosquito breeding, and it also gives termites and carpenter ants the moisture they need. Empty containers that hold water, keep gutters flowing and store firewood a few feet away from the house.
For Markham, start with a spring walk-around to spot cracks and gaps, treat the exterior as ants become active, stay ahead of standing water through June and July, and finish with fall sealing of doors, vents and pipes. Come winter, check basements and garages for signs of rodents so you can act before a problem grows.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Markham
Ant treatment in Markham
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Markham, 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 Markham
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Markham 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 Markham
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 Markham home is built.
Cockroach control in Markham
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 Markham apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Markham
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 Markham
Markham'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.
