About our service
Pest control for Decatur, IN
Decatur is home to around 10,000 people, and its public spaces are easy to list: the Adams County Courthouse, Adams County Public Library, Riverfront Park, Founder's Park, Storybook Park and the Adams County Historical Museum. Population has edged up 1.5 percent, which suggests a steady town where most pest calls involve the homes and shops already standing. Whatever the building, pests want the same things: food, water and a warm place to stay.
Natural Pest Solutions provides Decatur with ant treatment, rodent control, termite control, cockroach control and pest inspection services. We stick to natural pest control options built from non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets. There is no long-term contract, and each project starts with a free quote.

Pests in Decatur
What we deal with most around Decatur, IN
The pests that trouble Decatur residents most often follow a pattern. Mice and rats arrive in the cold months and settle into attics, wall cavities and garages. Ants march into kitchens looking for crumbs, and carpenter ants specifically hunt for wet wood. Spiders build in basements and window wells, and cockroaches prefer the warm, damp spaces behind sinks and appliances.
As the weather warms, outdoor pests take over. Termites swarm in spring in some yards, mosquitoes breed near rain barrels and other still water, and ticks live in the brush along fence lines and parks. Wasps build under eaves, decks and playsets, and fleas turn up on pets that have been outside. Come autumn, stink bugs and boxelder bugs press against sunny walls and find any gap they can.
Weather and pests
How Decatur's weather affects pest activity
Decatur has four distinct seasons, and the figures come from 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals at a nearby weather station. They are a guide, not a forecast. July highs average about 84 degrees and January lows about 18. The area gets about 41 inches of precipitation in a typical year, with May the wettest month at roughly 4.8 inches.
Winter is cold and steady. About 127 nights a year fall at or below freezing and around 28 inches of snow accumulates. Those conditions drive rodents and overwintering insects toward buildings. Summer has about 18 days at 90 degrees or higher, enough hot weather to make wasps and ants active and to push mosquitoes into a busy stretch after a wet May.
Use those patterns to time your work. Spring is the moment for checking siding, roof edges and foundation cracks. Summer is for clearing standing water and keeping food in sealed containers. Fall is when you close doors, screens and weep holes against invaders. Winter is when you listen for noise in the walls. Our technicians can help you sort out which steps matter most for your property.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Decatur
Ant treatment in Decatur
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Decatur, 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 Decatur
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Decatur 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 Decatur
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 Decatur home is built.
Cockroach control in Decatur
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 Decatur apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Decatur
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 Decatur
Decatur'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.
