About our service
Pest control for New Orleans, LA
With about 363,000 residents, New Orleans is the largest city in Louisiana, and the pest work here is as varied as the addresses. Homes in Gentilly, Gentilly Terrace and Milneburg sit alongside properties in Saint Roch, Bywater and Little Woods, and each one gives insects and rodents a slightly different way in. A pest that thrives under a raised house in one neighborhood may be a garage and attic problem a few miles away, so the first job is always to look closely at the property in front of us.
Natural Pest Solutions offers ant treatment, cockroach control, termite control and pest inspection for New Orleans homes and businesses. We use natural pest control options and non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets, and there is no long-term contract. If you are not sure what you are dealing with, ask for a free quote and we will start from there.

Pests we treat around New Orleans
Pests in New Orleans
What we deal with most around New Orleans, LA
Warm, wet Gulf Coast conditions mean New Orleans pests rarely get a real off season. Termites are the big worry for wood framing and older timber, and they swarm when the weather warms. Cockroaches come up through drains and crawl spaces, mosquitoes breed in any patch of standing water, and rodents look for the tiniest gap around pipes and rooflines. Fleas and ants round out the everyday calls, especially after heavy rain pushes them toward dry indoor spaces.
Only about 2 nights a year fall to freezing, so nothing is forced into dormancy for long. That is why we lean on regular preventive visits, spider control and rodent control included, instead of waiting for a single big problem to show itself. A quiet January in New Orleans is still a working month for roaches and mice.
Weather and pests
How New Orleans's weather affects pest activity
New Orleans is hot, humid and wet. July highs average about 91 degrees, and August is the warmest month overall, with roughly 86 days a year at 90 degrees or above. January is the coolest, with lows averaging around 47 degrees. The city gets about 60 inches of precipitation in a typical year, no measurable snow, and August is the wettest month at around 6.5 inches. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and are a guide, not a forecast.
All that rain matters. Water pooling in gutters, planters, buckets and low corners of a yard becomes a mosquito nursery within days, and constant moisture around foundations and wood is exactly what termites are looking for. Mild winters mean the pressure never fully lets up, and the same warm nights that keep mosquito control relevant into late fall also keep cockroaches active and breeding.
A sensible New Orleans routine is to check drainage and wood-to-soil contact in early spring, deal with standing water all summer, and use the cooler months to seal gaps and clear debris. Heavy rain adds its own work, since wet leaves and damaged screens invite pests, so take a walk around the house after any big storm.
How we fix it
Pest control services in New Orleans
Ant treatment in New Orleans
Ants are among the most common calls we get in New Orleans, from sugar ants in kitchens to carpenter ants in damp or damaged wood. Hot summers keep colonies growing all season. We find the trails and the nest, treat where the colony lives and follow up so they do not simply return.
Rodent control in New Orleans
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and New Orleans 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 New Orleans
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 New Orleans home is built.
Cockroach control in New Orleans
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 New Orleans apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in New Orleans
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 New Orleans
New Orleans'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.
