About our service
Pest control for Strafford, NH
Strafford shares its name with its county, and about 4,339 people live here. The local list is full of quiet green places: Strafford Town Forest, the Isinglass River Conservation Reserve, Spruce Ponds Wetlands, Johnsonboro Road Preserve and the Blue Hills Foundation lands. With that much undeveloped ground, homes often sit close to the edge of the woods, and that decides much of the pest picture.
Natural Pest Solutions provides rodent control, ant treatment, mosquito control and pest inspection for Strafford households. Our natural pest control options 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.

Pests in Strafford
What we deal with most around Strafford, NH
Wetlands, river corridors and shaded woods create good conditions for mosquitoes and ticks, and a yard that touches any of them will see both from late spring through fall. Wasps often build in barns, sheds and rooflines, and spiders take shelter in stacked wood, garages and cellars.
Once the cold arrives, mice are the main story. They move to insulation and stored belongings in attics and basements, and a small gap by a pipe or door frame is enough. Carpenter ants prefer wet wood in porches, sills and old stumps, and termites work hidden in wood that touches the ground. Boxelder bugs and stink bugs collect on sunny south walls in the fall and wander in whenever they find an opening, so it makes sense to finish exterior repairs before that begins.
Weather and pests
How Strafford's weather affects pest activity
The 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station give Strafford about 41 inches of precipitation in a typical year. January lows average about 15 degrees, about 145 nights a year fall to freezing or below, and July highs average near 82 degrees. About 11 days a year reach 90 or above. October is the wettest month at about 4.4 inches. These numbers are a guide to the normal pattern, not a forecast for any given year.
Precipitation is spread fairly evenly, so it is the wet corners of a property that decide what shows up. Low spots near ponds, wet basements and shaded ground that never quite dries out become the places where mosquitoes breed and where carpenter ants find soft wood. In autumn, rain-soaked leaves that stay on the ground next to the foundation can hold moisture for weeks.
For a Strafford home, we usually suggest thinking in three steps. In spring, check drainage and trim, and begin exterior treatment as insects wake up. Through summer, keep the yard free of standing water and cut back brush that touches the house. In fall, seal the gaps that rodents can use before the freezing nights begin.

How we fix it
Pest control services in Strafford
Ant treatment in Strafford
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Strafford, 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 Strafford
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Strafford 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 Strafford
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 Strafford home is built.
Cockroach control in Strafford
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 Strafford apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Strafford
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 Strafford
Strafford'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.
