About our service
Pest control for Nevada, IA
Nevada, Iowa has about 7,100 residents, and it has a steady mix of parks, gardens and open ground. Hattery Park, Kiwanis Park, Meadow Lane Park and the Kiwanis Butterfly Garden are some of the green spaces, and the same greenery attracts insects and rodents to homes nearby. Old and new houses alike can have gaps that pests find, and a look at the yard and foundation often points to what is drawing them.
Natural Pest Solutions provides ant treatment, rodent control, termite control, spider control and pest inspection in Nevada. We use natural pest control options with non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets, and there is no long-term contract.

Pests we treat around Nevada
Pests in Nevada
What we deal with most around Nevada, IA
Prairie plantings, gardens and mature trees are good for the neighborhood, but they also give pests a place to live. Ants, spiders and wasps are the most common summer complaints, and mosquitoes and ticks appear wherever grass grows tall or water pools. Carpenter ants look for softened wood, while termites work at foundations and wood in contact with soil.
Once cold weather returns, mice and rats head indoors, and it takes very little space for them to get through. Stink bugs and boxelder bugs cover sunny walls in fall, and cockroaches appear in kitchens and bathrooms with moisture problems. Many of these pests can be prevented by sealing entry points, removing standing water and keeping vegetation trimmed.
Weather and pests
How Nevada's weather affects pest activity
Nevada, Iowa has long, cold winters. January lows average about 10 degrees, and there are about 151 nights a year at or below freezing. Snowfall is about 27 inches a year, and total precipitation is about 38 inches. July highs average about 84 degrees, and about 15 days a year reach 90 or higher.
June is the wettest month, averaging about 5.4 inches. These numbers are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so they are a guide and not a forecast. Because there are freezing nights for around five months, rodents look for warm places to hide from October onward, so a fall exterior check is one of the most valuable things you can do.
A wet June also means standing water is easy to find, especially in gutters, garden containers and low spots near the foundation. Tip out anything that holds water, and keep drainage clear. In the heat of July, focus on ants and spiders near doorways and patios. As the leaves turn, do a walk around your home to check vents, weatherstripping and any gaps around pipes. A little effort in the right season prevents a lot of trouble later.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Nevada
Ant treatment in Nevada
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Nevada, 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 Nevada
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Nevada 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 Nevada
Termites are a quiet threat because damage often goes unnoticed for years. A yearly inspection costs little next to the cost of repairs. We inspect for mud tubes, damaged wood and moisture problems, then treat with a plan matched to how your Nevada home is built.
Cockroach control in Nevada
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 Nevada apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Nevada
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 Nevada
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Nevada. 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.
