About our service
Pest control for Whitmore Township, IL
Whitmore Township, in Macon County, is home to roughly 4,200 people. Pest control in a township looks a little different from a dense city: properties tend to be spread out, with more yard, more edge and more contact with fields and trees, and that changes which pests cause trouble and where they get in.
Natural Pest Solutions provides ant treatment, rodent control, termite control and pest inspection for Whitmore Township homes and businesses. We rely on natural pest control options and non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets.

Pests in Whitmore Township
What we deal with most around Whitmore Township, IL
Homes with more open ground around them attract rodents looking for shelter, especially when nights turn cold. Mice slip through gaps the width of a pencil, and stored items in garages, sheds and outbuildings give them a place to nest. Carpenter ants and termites take advantage of damp wood near downspouts, decks and fence posts, and spiders settle into quiet corners of barns and basements.
Warm weather brings mosquitoes, wasps and flies, along with ticks in tall grass and fleas on pets that spend time outdoors. Cockroaches can enter with grocery bags and boxes, and stink bugs and boxelder bugs gather on sunny siding late in the year. Because every property is different, a walk around the outside of the house is often the best first step.
Weather and pests
How Whitmore Township's weather affects pest activity
For Whitmore Township, the figures below are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station. They are a guide, not a forecast. July is the warmest month, with highs near 86 degrees, and about 27 days a year reach 90 or higher. January is the coldest month, with lows around 20.
Precipitation totals about 36 inches in a typical year, and May is the wettest month, at roughly 4.4 inches. Wet weather in spring feeds mosquito breeding in ditches, low spots and clogged gutters, and it keeps soil damp around foundations, which is what termites want. Dry, hot stretches in summer push ants and wasps toward water sources near the house.
The area records about 113 nights a year at or below freezing. That is plenty of time for rodents to consider your attic or crawl space, so sealing gaps in September and October is worth the effort. In early spring, look over the outside of the house for damage from winter, and in midsummer keep an eye on any place water collects.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Whitmore Township
Ant treatment in Whitmore Township
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Whitmore 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 Whitmore Township
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Whitmore 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 Whitmore 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 Whitmore Township home is built.
Cockroach control in Whitmore 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 Whitmore Township apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Whitmore 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 Whitmore Township
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Whitmore 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.
