Pest control for Lawrence, KS
Lawrence is a Kansas city of roughly 97,000 people, and higher education is a big part of the city. The University of Kansas and Haskell Indian Nations University are both in town, with Allen Fieldhouse, Strong Hall and the Spencer Museum of Art among the landmarks. Where many people live in rentals and move in and out each year, pests like cockroaches and bed bugs spread quickly if nobody catches them early.
Natural Pest Solutions offers ant treatment, rodent control, termite control, cockroach control and bed bug treatment across Lawrence, along with pest inspection for houses and multi-unit buildings. We use natural pest control options built on non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets. You get a free quote first, and there is no long-term contract.

Pests in Lawrence
What we deal with most around Lawrence, KS
Move-in and move-out weeks are when bed bugs and cockroaches travel, often in furniture, boxes and luggage, so tenants and landlords both benefit from acting at the first sign. Ants and spiders show up in kitchens and closets, and mice look for a way into older apartments and houses as soon as the weather turns. If you rent, tell your landlord early, and if you own, a pest inspection before a tenant moves in can save a lot of trouble later.
Lawrence averages about 90 nights a year at or below freezing and about 36 days at 90 degrees or higher. In cold months rodents and overwintering insects push indoors, and in the heat mosquitoes, wasps and fleas take over yards, greenspace and porches. Ticks are also worth watching for near Prairie Park, Lawrence Nature Park and the many trails.
Weather and pests
How Lawrence's weather affects pest activity
Lawrence gets warm summers and cold winters. July highs average about 89 degrees, January lows about 25, and February, at an average low near 22, is the coldest month. A typical year brings around 44 inches of precipitation and 17 inches of snow, with May the wettest month. These figures come from recent local weather records (2019-2023). They are a guide to the general pattern and not a forecast.
The heavy rain of late spring keeps soil damp around foundations, crawl spaces and porch supports, which draws termites and carpenter ants. Puddles that sit for several days become mosquito breeding sites. Cold snaps in winter, meanwhile, are when mice move into attics, wall voids and basements, so entry points should be sealed well before December.
A steady Lawrence plan is simple. Inspect wood and moisture in spring, drain standing water through summer, seal gaps in early fall, and watch for droppings and noises in winter. Ask for a free quote and we will build the plan around your building.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Lawrence
Ant treatment in Lawrence
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Lawrence, 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 Lawrence
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Lawrence 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 Lawrence
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 Lawrence home is built.
Cockroach control in Lawrence
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 Lawrence apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Lawrence
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 Lawrence
Lawrence'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.
