About our service
Pest control for Ottawa, KS
Ottawa, Kansas has about 12,700 residents and is home to the Franklin County Courthouse. It also gets more rain than most of the towns to its west, and that extra moisture is the first thing to understand about pests here. Damp soil, humid summers and plenty of trees mean insects and rodents have what they need close to your home.
Natural Pest Solutions provides ant treatment, rodent control, termite control, mosquito control and pest inspection in Ottawa. We offer natural pest control options and use non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets.

Pests we treat around Ottawa
Pests in Ottawa
What we deal with most around Ottawa, KS
Moisture drives most of the calls we expect in Ottawa. Termites and carpenter ants go after wood that stays damp, mosquitoes breed in gutters, planters and low spots, and cockroaches find their way into kitchens and basements when humidity runs high. Ticks and fleas are a concern for anyone with pets or a yard that backs onto trees or tall grass.
The cold side of the year matters too. Ottawa has about 88 nights a year at or below freezing, and mice and rats respond by moving toward warm buildings. Stink bugs, boxelder bugs and spiders often join them, gathering on sunny walls and sneaking in through window frames and door sweeps.
Weather and pests
How Ottawa's weather affects pest activity
Ottawa's numbers lean wet. The area receives about 42 inches of precipitation in an average year, plus about 16 inches of snow. May is the wettest month at nearly 8 inches, but June, July and September are also soggy, with each averaging well over 3 inches. There is little of the dry stretch that slows pests down in other parts of the state.
July is the warmest month, with highs averaging about 89 degrees, and around 35 days a year reach 90 or higher. February is usually the coldest month, and January lows average around 25. The figures come from recent local weather records (2019-2023), so they are a guide and not a forecast.
Because moisture lasts most of the year, the best habits are about drainage. Keep gutters running clear, grade soil away from the house, and ventilate crawl spaces. Add a fall check for gaps around utility lines, vents and garage doors, and most Ottawa homes are in good shape heading into winter.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Ottawa
Ant treatment in Ottawa
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Ottawa, 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 Ottawa
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Ottawa buildings offer plenty of all three. They can be a year-round issue. 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 Ottawa
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 Ottawa home is built.
Cockroach control in Ottawa
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 Ottawa apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Ottawa
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 Ottawa
Ottawa'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.
