About our service
Pest control for Richwoods Township, IL
Richwoods Township, in Peoria County, has about 5,800 residents, and a big part of its character comes from green space. Forest Park Nature Preserve, Forest Park South Nature Preserve, Hillside Park and Woods Park sit near or around the township, and homes close to that much tree cover tend to attract more wildlife and more insects.
Natural Pest Solutions offers ant treatment, rodent control, termite control and pest inspection in the township. We use non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets, and we offer natural pest control options for many jobs. You will not sign a long-term contract with us, and the first step is a free quote.

Pests in Richwoods Township
What we deal with most around Richwoods Township, IL
Wooded surroundings make mice and other rodents a top concern, and squirrels and other animals sometimes follow them into attics. Carpenter ants love old trees and damp wood, and they will move into siding, porch posts and window frames if moisture is present. Termites feed on lumber that touches soil, so check foundations and decks regularly.
Warm months bring mosquitoes, ticks and wasps, and fleas travel in on pets that spend time outdoors. Spiders and cockroaches are steady indoor problems, especially in basements and kitchens. Stink bugs and boxelder bugs cluster on sunny walls in fall, and bed bugs can turn up after a trip or a used furniture purchase. A technician visit is a good way to find out which of these applies to you.
Weather and pests
How Richwoods Township's weather affects pest activity
Richwoods Township has four distinct seasons, and each brings its own pests. The figures below are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so they are a guide and not a forecast. July highs average about 86 degrees, January lows average around 18, and a typical year brings roughly 38 inches of precipitation and about 26 inches of snow. May is the wettest month at around 4.7 inches.
Around 23 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher, and roughly 118 nights fall to freezing or below. Cold snaps push rodents, cluster flies and other overwintering insects toward garages, attics and wall voids, while a wet May keeps mosquito breeding sites full.
Homes near woods do best with a routine. In spring, trim back branches touching the roof and check for damp wood. In fall, close entry points before rodents move in, and in winter, check attics and basements for signs of activity.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Richwoods Township
Ant treatment in Richwoods Township
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Richwoods Township, 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 Richwoods Township
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Richwoods Township 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 Richwoods Township
Termites are a quiet threat because damage often goes unnoticed for years. A yearly inspection costs little next to the cost of repairs. We inspect for mud tubes, damaged wood and moisture problems, then treat with a plan matched to how your Richwoods Township home is built.
Cockroach control in Richwoods Township
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 Richwoods Township apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Richwoods Township
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 Richwoods Township
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Richwoods Township. 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.
