About our service
Pest control for Rochester, MN
Rochester is home to roughly 123,600 people, along with a long list of parks that ring the community: Baihly Meadows Park, Fox Valley Park, Cascade Lake Park, Bear Creek Park, Judd Park, Crescent Park, Allendale Park, Eastwood Park and Joyce Park among them. Homes and businesses near green space and creek corridors tend to see a different mix of pests than properties in the middle of a block, and we plan our visits around that.
Natural Pest Solutions handles ant treatment, rodent control, termite control and pest inspection for Rochester homeowners, landlords and business owners. We use natural pest control options built on non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets, and there is no long-term contract to sign. A free quote comes first, so you know the plan before we begin.

Pests in Rochester
What we deal with most around Rochester, MN
Properties that back onto parks and wooded edges get regular visits from mice and other rodents, and rodent control is one of our busiest requests from October onward. Carpenter ants favor damp or damaged wood such as window sills, decks and old fence posts. Spiders build in eaves and garages, and wasps start new nests under overhangs as soon as spring warms up.
Fall brings its own crowd. Boxelder bugs, stink bugs and other overwintering insects cover sunny south-facing walls and then look for cracks to slip through. Rochester records about 156 nights a year at or below freezing, so the window when pests want to be indoors is long, and a thorough exterior seal before the first frost does a lot of the work for you.
Weather and pests
How Rochester's weather affects pest activity
Winters in Rochester are long and snowy. January lows average about 7 degrees, and the area picks up around 53 inches of snow in a typical year. Summers are mild by comparison, with July highs near 80 degrees and only about 5 days a year reaching 90 or higher. Annual precipitation is roughly 35 inches, and June is the wettest month at about 5.3 inches. These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and are meant as a guide, not a forecast.
Because summers stay on the cooler side, insect activity tends to ramp up a little later in spring, then hits hard once June rains arrive. Mosquitoes breed in ditches, rain barrels and clogged gutters, and ticks wait in tall grass along trails and yard borders. Snow cover in winter keeps mice tunneling along foundations, and a spring melt can push moisture against walls, which ants and termites appreciate.
For Rochester properties we like a calendar built around the snow. Check drainage and wood contact points right after the melt, control standing water in June, inspect for nests in late summer, and finish sealing gaps and door sweeps before the ground freezes.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Rochester
Ant treatment in Rochester
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Rochester, 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 Rochester
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Rochester 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 Rochester
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 Rochester home is built.
Cockroach control in Rochester
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 Rochester apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Rochester
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 Rochester
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Rochester. 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.

Serving Rochester
Serving Rochester and the towns around it
We serve Rochester neighborhoods such as Marion Woods and the areas around the University of Minnesota - Rochester, Crossroads College, Central Park and the Mayo Civic Center. Apartment buildings and rentals near campuses and civic buildings often need a bed bug or cockroach plan in addition to routine perimeter service, and single-family homes near the parks benefit from a yearly pest inspection. In every case we walk the outside first, looking at gaps, drainage and any wood that stays damp.
Our coverage reaches past Rochester too, including Marion, Byron, Oronoco, Stewartville, High Forest, Eyota, Kasson and Elgin. If you live out that way, send the form above and we will confirm your address.
