About our service
Pest control for Ellettsville, IN
With about 6,800 residents, Ellettsville is a small Indiana city, and that size means most of our calls come from ordinary homes and small businesses. Memorial Park, Campbell's Park and the Well Site Nature Preserve give the area plenty of green space, and green edges like these tend to send insects and small animals toward the nearest house once the weather shifts. Our technicians look at how a yard drains, where the shrubs meet the siding and which gaps let the outdoors in, because those small details decide whether a treatment lasts.
Natural Pest Solutions serves Ellettsville with ant treatment, rodent control, termite control and a thorough pest inspection whenever you want a closer look at what is going on. We build our plans around natural pest control options and non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets. There is no long-term contract, and everything starts with a free quote so you can weigh your choices before anything is scheduled.

Pests we treat around Ellettsville
Pests in Ellettsville
What we deal with most around Ellettsville, IN
Ants are usually the first complaint, and in wooded parts of town carpenter ants can settle into damp fascia, window frames and old stumps. Termites work out of sight below the surface and may only show themselves as mud tubes or swarming winged insects in spring. Spiders collect around porch lights and garages, while cockroaches turn up in kitchens, laundry rooms and basements where moisture lingers.
Once cooler weather arrives, mice and other rodents start looking for a warm place to spend the winter, and a gap the width of a pencil is enough for a mouse. Stink bugs and boxelder bugs gather on sunny walls in the fall and slip indoors through window trim. Warm months bring mosquitoes, ticks and wasps, especially around parks, tall grass and wood lines, so a yard that backs onto open ground deserves extra attention.
Weather and pests
How Ellettsville's weather affects pest activity
Ellettsville has four distinct seasons. July is the warmest month, with highs averaging about 85 degrees, and January is the coldest, with lows near 21. About 21 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher, and roughly 108 nights drop to freezing or below. These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so treat them as a guide, not a forecast.
The area receives about 49 inches of precipitation in a typical year, along with around 18 inches of snow. June is usually the wettest month, at about 5.4 inches. A wet early summer leaves water in gutters, plant saucers and low spots in the yard, which is exactly what mosquitoes need, and damp soil near foundations is welcome news for termites and carpenter ants.
With more than 100 freezing nights each year, the pressure on rodents and overwintering insects is steady from late fall into early spring. That makes early autumn the best time to seal gaps, screen vents and clear leaf litter away from the walls. Spring is the time to look at wood and moisture problems, and summer is for staying ahead of standing water.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Ellettsville
Ant treatment in Ellettsville
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Ellettsville, 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 Ellettsville
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Ellettsville 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 Ellettsville
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 Ellettsville home is built.
Cockroach control in Ellettsville
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 Ellettsville apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Ellettsville
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 Ellettsville
Ellettsville'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.
