About our service
Pest control for Dover, NH
Dover has about 33,900 people, and the city is split into pockets such as Sawyers, Dover Brook, Dover Point, Kelwyn Park and Central Park, and pest pressure changes as you move between them. A house near Woodman Park or Bellamy Park will face different challenges than an apartment near the Dover Public Library or Dover Indoor Pool, and we plan for each one separately.
Natural Pest Solutions provides ant treatment, mosquito control, rodent control and pest inspection in Dover. We use non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets, and we offer natural pest control options wherever they fit the problem. Every job begins with a free quote, and there is no long-term contract.

Pests we treat around Dover
Pests in Dover
What we deal with most around Dover, NH
In Dover, the wet climate is the main story. Mosquitoes breed in gutters, planters and any low spot that holds rainwater, and carpenter ants and termites go after wood that stays damp. Mice and rats get into basements and garages when the cold arrives, and spiders follow the insects that gather near porch lights and window frames.
Dover records about 150 nights a year at or below freezing, but only about 6 days at 90 degrees or higher, so summers are comparatively mild and the real push comes in fall. Stink bugs and boxelder bugs pack onto sunny south-facing walls in September and October, looking for a crack to slip through. A short walk around the outside of the house in late summer, checking caulk, screens and the spots where pipes enter, is worth the time.
Weather and pests
How Dover's weather affects pest activity
Dover gets more rain than many places we serve. In a typical year, precipitation totals about 48 inches, and October is the wettest month at 4.8 inches on average. July highs average about 80 degrees, and January lows average around 15. These numbers are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station. They describe the general pattern and are a guide, not a forecast.
Because moisture is the constant, damp spots around a house matter more here than heat does. Downspouts that dump water at the foundation, mulch piled against siding and crawl spaces without ventilation create the conditions termites and carpenter ants like. Standing water in a bird bath, kiddie pool or clogged gutter will produce mosquitoes in a matter of days once it warms up.
If you live in Dover, a simple habit helps more than most treatments: after any big rain, look around the house for water that is not draining, fix it and note whether it keeps returning. A technician can look at those trouble spots during a visit, and a free quote is the easiest way to set that up.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Dover
Ant treatment in Dover
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Dover, 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 Dover
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Dover 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 Dover
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 Dover home is built.
Cockroach control in Dover
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 Dover apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Dover
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 Dover
Dover'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.
