About our service
Pest control for Crookston, MN
Crookston sees some of the coldest winters of any place in this batch, with January lows averaging about 4 below zero. About 7,300 people live here, and when temperatures drop like that, every heated home, garage and business becomes a target for rodents and overwintering insects. Parks such as West Central Park, Central Park, Maplewood Park and Corner Park sit close to homes and give pests ground to occupy until the freeze arrives.
Natural Pest Solutions provides rodent control, spider control, ant treatment, bed bug treatment and pest inspection for Crookston homes and businesses. Our natural pest control options use non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets, and there is no long-term contract.

Pests we treat around Crookston
Pests in Crookston
What we deal with most around Crookston, MN
With a long freeze, the first pest most residents meet is the mouse. Mice slip through openings that look far too small, then nest in insulation, wall voids and stored boxes. Cockroaches and bed bugs are the shared-building pests, and they can travel between units or arrive with used furniture, so it helps to check secondhand items before bringing them inside.
Once summer comes, it is a brief but busy season. Mosquitoes emerge after spring moisture, wasps build under eaves, and carpenter ants excavate wet wood. Ticks can appear in grass and brush along park edges and yards. Because the warm window is short, treating early in the season, before populations build, gives a property the best chance of staying comfortable through July and August.
Weather and pests
How Crookston's weather affects pest activity
The figures below are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so treat them as a guide and not a forecast. July is the warmest month, with highs near 80 degrees, and about 7 days a year reach 90 or higher. January is the coldest month, with lows averaging about -4 degrees, and roughly 186 nights a year sit at or below freezing, which is more than half the year.
Annual precipitation is about 22 inches, which is on the low side, but June brings the year's wettest weather at roughly 4.2 inches on average. That early-summer moisture is what sets up mosquito season, so June is the month to clear standing water, unclog gutters and check for damp spots around the foundation.
In a climate where more than half of all nights are at or below freezing, the timing of preventive work matters more than the volume. Rodents start scouting for winter shelter in early fall, so seal gaps in late summer. When the thaw arrives, look at basements, window wells and crawl spaces for moisture that can attract ants and cockroaches, and clear snow and leaf debris away from the foundation.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Crookston
Ant treatment in Crookston
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Crookston, 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 Crookston
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Crookston 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 Crookston
Termites are a quiet threat because damage often goes unnoticed for years. A yearly inspection costs little next to the cost of repairs. We inspect for mud tubes, damaged wood and moisture problems, then treat with a plan matched to how your Crookston home is built.
Cockroach control in Crookston
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 Crookston apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Crookston
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 Crookston
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Crookston. 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.
