About our service
Pest control for Bedford, IN
Bedford has about 13,900 residents and a mix of places that shape daily life, from Dickinson Park and Thornton Park to the Bedford Public Library, the Bedford skateboard park and Harp Commons. The Lawrence County Courthouse and the Bedford Courthouse Square Historic District sit near the Lawrence County Historical Society and The Wiley Art Gallery. Older buildings and busy public spaces both give pests plenty of ways to get inside, so it pays to think about prevention early.
Natural Pest Solutions serves Bedford with ant treatment, rodent control, termite control and cockroach control. Our natural pest control options use non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets. Every job starts with a free quote, and you will never be asked to sign a long-term contract.

Pests we treat around Bedford
Pests in Bedford
What we deal with most around Bedford, IN
Bedford's warm, humid summers suit ants, and they show up early and often. They trail into kitchens, nest in wall voids and set up colonies under patios, while carpenter ants tunnel into wet wood in porches and window frames. Spiders spin in garages and basements, wasps take over eaves and mosquitoes are constant near shade and standing water. Ticks and fleas follow pets and wildlife through yards.
Seasonal changes drive most of the calls after summer ends. When nights cool, mice and rodents move into attics and crawl spaces, cockroaches look for warmth in kitchens and bathrooms, and stink bugs and boxelder bugs crowd onto sunny walls. Termites are active in damp wood and are especially worth a look in older structures where wood meets soil. A professional pest inspection gives you a clear picture of what is happening behind walls.
Weather and pests
How Bedford's weather affects pest activity
Bedford has hot summers and moderate winters. July highs average about 85 degrees, January lows average around 20, and about 18 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher. Roughly 119 nights a year fall to freezing or below, and snowfall averages about 16 inches. These figures come from 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals at a nearby weather station, so they are a guide, not a forecast.
Annual precipitation is about 48 inches, and May is typically the wettest month at around 5.6 inches. Heavy spring rain leaves yards soggy and gives mosquitoes plenty of places to lay eggs. Wet soil also draws termites and carpenter ants toward foundations, so redirect downspouts, keep mulch a few inches from siding and fix leaking spigots.
With a wet spring, a warm summer and a cold snap that starts in autumn, Bedford homes go through three distinct pest seasons. Spring is for exterior treatment and moisture control, summer for standing water, screens and wasp nests, and fall for sealing gaps against rodents and overwintering insects. Winter is a good time to check attics and basements for signs of activity.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Bedford
Ant treatment in Bedford
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Bedford, 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 Bedford
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Bedford 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 Bedford
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 Bedford home is built.
Cockroach control in Bedford
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 Bedford apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Bedford
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 Bedford
Bedford'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.
