About our service
Pest control for Urbandale, IA
Urbandale has about 47,800 residents, and open space is a big part of the picture: Days Run Open Space, Timberline East Open Space, Jeff Harm Park, Donald J. Brush Park, Foxdale Park and Golfview West Park. Properties near open land tend to meet more wildlife, ticks and mosquitoes than those tucked away from it, and a yard that backs onto a park or open space deserves a slightly different plan from one in the middle of a block.
Natural Pest Solutions provides ant treatment, rodent control, termite control and pest inspection in Urbandale. Our natural pest control options use non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets, and there is no long-term contract. Start with a free quote and decide from there.

Pests in Urbandale
What we deal with most around Urbandale, IA
The everyday pests in Urbandale are ants, spiders and mice, and each has a predictable pattern. Ants show up when the weather warms and food crumbs or moisture are available, spiders settle in quiet corners of garages and basements, and mice look for gaps as the nights turn cold. Carpenter ants prefer wood that has been wet, and termites work below and inside wood around the foundation.
Near open space, mosquitoes, ticks and wasps are the outdoor issues, and fleas ride in on pets that have spent time in the grass. Boxelder bugs and stink bugs collect on sun-warmed walls in autumn and squeeze into small gaps. About 135 nights a year at or below freezing means overwintering pests have a long window to find a way in, so closing exterior gaps before winter is worth the time.
Weather and pests
How Urbandale's weather affects pest activity
Urbandale sits in a climate with hot summers and cold, snowy winters. July is the warmest month, with average highs near 85 degrees, and January is the coldest, with average lows around 13. The area gets about 36 inches of precipitation in a typical year, roughly 38 inches of snow, and about 18 days a year at 90 degrees or higher. These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and are a guide, not a forecast.
June is the wettest month, at about 5.3 inches, and it is the month when mosquitoes have the most standing water to work with. Rain barrels without screens, clogged gutters, kiddie pools and low patches of lawn all count. Wet soil at the foundation also means ants and termites stay close to the house, so keep mulch pulled back from siding.
When winter sets in, snow cover and freezing nights change what pests do. Mice and other rodents shift toward garages, attics and crawl spaces, and they can go unnoticed for weeks. Look for droppings, chewed packaging and scratching sounds, and remember that the best time for exclusion work is the fall, before they have already settled in.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Urbandale
Ant treatment in Urbandale
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Urbandale, 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 Urbandale
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Urbandale 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 Urbandale
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 Urbandale home is built.
Cockroach control in Urbandale
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 Urbandale apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Urbandale
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 Urbandale
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Urbandale. 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.
