About our service
Pest control for Gretna, NE
Gretna, Nebraska has a population of about 9,200, and the surrounding communities include Springfield, Papillion, Chalco and La Vista. Nearby open ground and tree lines are part of the local setting, and homes on the edges of town often see pests move in from the fields and lots beside them, which is why we start every visit by looking at the outside of the property.
Natural Pest Solutions helps Gretna homeowners and businesses with ant treatment, rodent control, termite control, mosquito control and more. We offer natural pest control options, use non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets, and never require a long-term contract. Start with a free quote and we will explain your options before any work begins.

Pests we treat around Gretna
Pests in Gretna
What we deal with most around Gretna, NE
In Gretna we expect mice and rats moving into garages, basements and attics as the nights cool, and about 136 nights a year at or below freezing means they keep trying for a long time. Boxelder bugs and stink bugs gather on warm walls in fall, then find their way into window frames and attics. Spiders and cockroaches follow wherever there is food and moisture.
Warm weather brings a different set. Ants and wasps expand quickly in the roughly 26 days a year that reach 90 degrees or higher, carpenter ants tunnel into damp wood, and termites feed in soil near foundations and porches. Mosquitoes and ticks are the biggest outdoor issue in yards with shade, tall grass or standing water, and fleas ride in on pets.
Weather and pests
How Gretna's weather affects pest activity
Gretna's weather ranges from cold winters to warm, humid summers. July highs average about 86 degrees, January lows average around 14, and January is the coldest month. The area gets about 33 inches of precipitation in a typical year, along with roughly 36 inches of snow, and June is the wettest month at about 5.4 inches. These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so they are a guide, not a forecast.
A wet June keeps yards damp just when mosquitoes are ramping up, so emptying containers and cleaning gutters is one of the simplest steps you can take. Wet soil near the house also feeds termites and carpenter ants. Deep winter snow can bury the base of a wall, and when it melts it exposes gaps around vents and pipes that mice have been using, which makes spring a good time for an exterior walk-around.
For a Gretna home, we suggest sealing cracks and starting exterior treatment in spring, managing standing water and watching for wasp nests in summer, closing up entry points before the first hard freeze, and checking attics, garages and crawl spaces in winter.

How we fix it
Pest control services in Gretna
Ant treatment in Gretna
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Gretna, 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 Gretna
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Gretna 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 Gretna
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 Gretna home is built.
Cockroach control in Gretna
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 Gretna apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Gretna
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 Gretna
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Gretna. 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.
