Pest control for Bloomington, IN
Bloomington is a city of about 80,000 people, and pests here are as likely to turn up in a rental near campus as in a family home on a quiet street. The city has Indiana University Bloomington, the Monroe County Courthouse and Seminary Square Park among its landmarks. Neighborhoods such as Elm Heights, Eastern Heights, Garden Hill, High Point, Maple Heights and SoMax mean homes, rentals and businesses of every kind, and pests find a way into all of them.
Natural Pest Solutions offers ant treatment, rodent control, termite control, bed bug treatment and pest inspection in Bloomington. We use natural pest control options and non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets. You will not be asked to sign a long-term contract, and your first step is a free quote.

Pests we treat around Bloomington
Pests in Bloomington
What we deal with most around Bloomington, IN
Rental housing and shared buildings make bed bugs and cockroaches a real concern. Both can travel in luggage, boxes and used furniture, and they spread through walls and shared hallways. Landlords and tenants alike do well to act early, since a small problem is easier to clear than one that has spread across several units. Mice and rats also cross between apartments through gaps around pipes.
In single-family homes, carpenter ants and termites are the wood-damaging pests to watch for, particularly wherever water leaks or soil touches siding. The wooded and hilly surroundings mean ticks, wasps and mosquitoes are common in yards. Fleas ride in on pets, and spiders spin webs around doors and windows. In fall, boxelder bugs and stink bugs gather on sunny walls before slipping inside.
Weather and pests
How Bloomington's weather affects pest activity
Rain and snow both play a part in Bloomington's pest calendar. The figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and are a guide, not a forecast. The area receives about 49 inches of precipitation in a typical year, with June the wettest month at about 5.4 inches, and about 18 inches of snow.
July highs average about 85 degrees, and about 21 days a year reach 90 or higher. January lows average about 21 degrees, and about 108 nights a year fall to freezing or below. A wet early summer and a fairly warm July give mosquitoes and ants ideal conditions, and damp soil around foundations attracts termites.
For a home here, the calendar starts with spring inspection of exterior wood, gutters and drainage. Summer is for controlling standing water and watching for ticks after time outdoors. Once the nights cool in early fall, seal openings around utility lines and doors, and keep leaves and firewood away from the house. In winter, check basements, crawl spaces and attics, because the heat inside buildings is what pulls rodents and insects in from the cold.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Bloomington
Ant treatment in Bloomington
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Bloomington, 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 Bloomington
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Bloomington 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 Bloomington
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 Bloomington home is built.
Cockroach control in Bloomington
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 Bloomington apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Bloomington
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 Bloomington
Bloomington'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.
