About our service
Pest control for Kittery, ME
Kittery has about 11,000 residents, and its population grew nearly 10 percent in the latest count, which means more homes, more foundations and more yards for pests to explore. Landmarks such as Shoals Marine Laboratory, the Capt. John Smith Monument and the Tucke Monument are part of the local picture, and the properties around them, from single-family houses to rentals and small businesses, each have their own weak spots.
Natural Pest Solutions helps Kittery property owners with ant treatment, rodent control, spider control and a careful pest inspection when the source of a problem is unclear. We offer natural pest control options and use non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets. Every visit begins with a free quote, so you know the plan before work starts.

Pests we treat around Kittery
Pests in Kittery
What we deal with most around Kittery, ME
Kittery homeowners tend to deal with a familiar Maine lineup. Carpenter ants look for damp or softened wood near windows, decks and sills, mice and other rodents slip through small gaps once nights turn cold, and spiders settle into garages, basements and sheds. Ticks are a real concern for anyone who spends time in tall grass or wooded edges, and mosquitoes and wasps become a nuisance around patios and eaves once the weather warms.
The cold is what drives a lot of the indoor activity here. Kittery sees roughly 143 nights a year at or below freezing, so from fall through early spring mice, cluster flies and stink bugs go looking for warm walls and attic spaces. Sealing gaps around pipes, doors and vents before the first hard frost keeps most of them outside where they belong.
Weather and pests
How Kittery's weather affects pest activity
Kittery has a true four-season climate. July highs average about 80 degrees, January lows drop to around 16, and only about 10 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher. The area receives around 51 inches of precipitation in a typical year along with roughly 65 inches of snow. October is the wettest month at about 5 inches, and January is the coldest. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and are a guide, not a forecast.
That wet autumn matters more than most people expect. Damp leaves in gutters and soggy mulch against the house give carpenter ants and moisture-loving insects a reason to move in close, and rain that lingers through October can keep crawl spaces and basements damp going into winter. Spring snowmelt and warmer rain, meanwhile, fill low spots in the yard and start the mosquito season.
A practical Kittery routine follows the calendar. In spring, check the foundation and trim shrubs away from siding. During summer, empty standing water and watch for wasp nests under eaves. In fall, close up entry points and clear gutters. In winter, listen for scratching in walls and attics, since early attention is much easier than a full infestation.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Kittery
Ant treatment in Kittery
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Kittery, 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 Kittery
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Kittery 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 Kittery
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 Kittery home is built.
Cockroach control in Kittery
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 Kittery apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Kittery
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 Kittery
Kittery'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.
