About our service
Pest control for Hammond, IN
Hammond has about 76,000 residents, and its winters are long and cold. That matters for pest control, because every autumn the city's homes, apartments and businesses become an appealing shelter for mice, spiders and overwintering insects. Areas such as Roxana, Central Hammond, North Hammond, Southside and Northside each see their own version of that pattern.
Natural Pest Solutions helps Hammond residents with rodent control, ant treatment, cockroach control, spider control and pest inspection. We use natural pest control options and non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets. There is no long-term contract, and a free quote is the first step, so you can see what we recommend before you agree to anything.

Pests we treat around Hammond
Pests in Hammond
What we deal with most around Hammond, IN
In cold weather, the calls are mostly about rodents. Mice slip into garages, basements and wall spaces through openings around pipes, vents and door thresholds, and rats look for food in and around trash areas. Cockroaches and bed bugs are also a concern in apartment buildings and multi-family housing, where they can move between units without anyone noticing at first.
Warmer months bring ants, carpenter ants, wasps and mosquitoes, and around parks such as Irving Park, Tod Park and Glendale Park, ticks and fleas can hitch a ride on people and pets. Termites can work inside the wood of foundations, porches and window frames without a visible sign, which is why regular inspection is worth the effort. Stink bugs and boxelder bugs collect on warm walls in fall and find their way indoors.
Weather and pests
How Hammond's weather affects pest activity
Hammond's winters are cold. These figures come from 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals at a nearby weather station, and they are a guide, not a forecast. January is the coldest month, with lows averaging about 15 degrees, and about 126 nights a year fall to freezing or below. The area receives about 28 inches of snow in a typical year.
Summers are moderate, with July highs averaging about 84 degrees and about 16 days a year at or above 90. Annual precipitation is about 42 inches, and June is the wettest month, averaging about 4.9 inches. Wet early summer weather keeps soil damp around foundations and fills low spots with water, which helps mosquitoes and termites.
With so many freezing nights and a real snow season, timing is important. September and early October are the best windows to seal gaps, install door sweeps and clear away leaf piles, before mice make up their minds about winter quarters. In late spring, watch for ants trailing along foundations and check the wood around windows and porches for soft spots that suggest moisture damage.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Hammond
Ant treatment in Hammond
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Hammond, 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 Hammond
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Hammond 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 Hammond
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 Hammond home is built.
Cockroach control in Hammond
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 Hammond apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Hammond
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 Hammond
Hammond'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.
