About our service
Pest control for Waukee, IA
Waukee has about 34,400 residents and population growth of nearly 44 percent, and a city that is growing fast has real consequences for pest control. Construction turns over soil, removes cover for field animals and creates new gaps and settling cracks as houses age. Rodents, ants and other pests that lived in the ground and vegetation before the digging began look for new homes nearby, and buildings are often the closest option.
Natural Pest Solutions provides ant treatment, rodent control, termite control and pest inspection for Waukee homes and businesses. We offer natural pest control options with non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets, and there is no long-term contract. A free quote comes first.

Pests we treat around Waukee
Pests in Waukee
What we deal with most around Waukee, IA
New yards and freshly landscaped beds are attractive to ants, which nest in loose soil and mulch. Mice and other rodents move toward homes when cold weather arrives, particularly from open ground next to newly built areas, and spiders follow the insects that gather around porch lights. Carpenter ants target any wood that stays wet, and termites can reach new construction just as easily as older buildings.
In warm weather, mosquitoes take over standing water in ponds, retention areas and yard low spots, wasps nest in eaves and playsets, and ticks and fleas turn up on pets. About 128 nights a year at or below freezing means boxelder bugs, stink bugs and rodents are looking for a warm place from October on. Homeowners near Warrior Park, Centennial Park, Grant Park, Maple Grove Park and Painted Woods West Park should expect a little more outdoor activity.
Weather and pests
How Waukee's weather affects pest activity
Waukee has hot summers and cold winters. July is the warmest month, with average highs near 86 degrees, and January is the coldest, with average lows around 14. About 22 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher, roughly 36 inches of snow falls, and precipitation totals about 37 inches in a typical year. 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. Rain on freshly graded ground can leave puddles that linger, and mosquitoes need only a few days of standing water to complete a life cycle. Downspouts that end at the foundation, low corners of the lot and clogged gutters are the first spots to check after a heavy June storm.
In colder months, heat escaping from a house draws insects and rodents to the walls. Watching for gaps in siding, garage door seals and utility openings is more important in newer developments than people expect, because building materials shift as the ground settles. Fall is the best time to seal, and a midwinter look in the attic or garage catches anything that slipped through.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Waukee
Ant treatment in Waukee
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Waukee, 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 Waukee
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Waukee 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 Waukee
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 Waukee home is built.
Cockroach control in Waukee
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 Waukee apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Waukee
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 Waukee
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Waukee. 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.
