About our service
Pest control for Gloucester, MA
With about 30,500 residents, Gloucester sends our technicians to a wide spread of places, from the area around Cape Ann Museum and Mount Ann Park to Wingaersheek Beach and the wetlands at Page-Potter Marsh and Brisson Salt Marsh. A home beside a marsh or on a wooded rise like Poles Hill meets different pests than a building in the Central Gloucester Historic District, so we plan each visit around the property in front of us instead of following one script.
Natural Pest Solutions provides ant treatment, rodent control, termite control and pest inspection service throughout Gloucester. We offer natural pest control options and use non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets. There is no long-term contract, and every job begins with a free quote so you know the plan before any work starts.

Pests in Gloucester
What we deal with most around Gloucester, MA
Wet ground and standing water near marshes make mosquitoes a steady complaint in Gloucester from late spring into fall, and mosquito control around yards, gutters and low spots pays off quickly. Ticks ride along in leaf litter and tall grass at the edges of wooded lots and trails, so families with kids and dogs should check themselves after time outdoors.
Inside the home, the usual trouble is mice and other rodents looking for a warm attic or basement once the weather turns, plus carpenter ants working into damp wood around windows, porches and roof lines. Spiders, wasps and stink bugs show up too, and older buildings with many small gaps give all of them more ways to get in. Termites are worth a pest inspection whenever you see mud tubes or soft wood near a foundation.
Weather and pests
How Gloucester's weather affects pest activity
The numbers below are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so treat them as a guide, not a forecast. July is the warmest month, with highs averaging about 80 degrees, and only around 5 days a year reach 90 or higher. January is the coldest month, with lows averaging about 18 degrees.
Gloucester gets roughly 48 inches of precipitation in a typical year, along with about 51 inches of snow. October is the wettest month at about 5 inches. That steady moisture keeps soil, mulch and wood trim damp, which is exactly what carpenter ants and termites look for, and it feeds mosquito breeding in any spot where water sits.
With around 133 nights a year at or below freezing, rodents have a long season in which they want to be indoors. The best fall step is sealing gaps around pipes, vents, garage doors and foundation cracks before the first hard cold. In spring, clear gutters and trim back shrubs touching the house. Through summer, empty containers that hold water and check screens for tears.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Gloucester
Ant treatment in Gloucester
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Gloucester, 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 Gloucester
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Gloucester 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 Gloucester
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 Gloucester home is built.
Cockroach control in Gloucester
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 Gloucester apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Gloucester
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 Gloucester
Gloucester'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.
