About our service
Pest control for Ottawa, OH
With Memorial Park, Lord's Park, Arrowhead Park and West End Water Tower Park all inside town, Ottawa has plenty of green space for its 4,422 residents, and that green space is also where many pests begin. Insects and rodents follow food, water and shelter, and a home near a park or a busy public building can have all three within easy reach.
Natural Pest Solutions handles ant treatment, rodent control, cockroach control and mosquito control for Ottawa homes and businesses. We use natural pest control options built on non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets. You can sign up without a long-term contract, and a free quote is always the first step, so nothing is decided before you see the plan.

Pests we treat around Ottawa
Pests in Ottawa
What we deal with most around Ottawa, OH
Ottawa residents ask us most about mice getting into basements, ants marching along counters, and spiders collecting in garages and window frames. Commercial spaces such as the Putnam County YMCA, the Ottawa Auditorium and other busy buildings can face cockroaches and bed bugs because so many people come and go, and food areas need regular attention.
In the yard, mosquitoes and wasps are the summer headache, especially near shaded, damp corners of a lot. Fleas travel on pets and wildlife, stink bugs and boxelder bugs crowd onto sunny walls as fall arrives, and termites can be working in a wood foundation long before anyone sees damage. A yearly walk around the outside of the building catches many of these early.
Weather and pests
How Ottawa's weather affects pest activity
Ottawa's climate has warm, humid summers and cold winters. July highs average about 84 degrees, January lows about 19, and the area sees around 39 inches of precipitation and roughly 32 inches of snow in a typical year. May is the wettest month at about 4 inches. These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and work as a guide rather than a forecast.
About 124 nights a year fall to freezing or below, so the winter months push rodents toward warm buildings, and even a single mouse can become a household problem if it finds food. Summer brings roughly 14 days at 90 degrees or hotter, and a wet May leaves puddles and full gutters that give mosquitoes a head start.
Timing is half the battle. Late winter and early spring are good for sealing gaps and dealing with wood that stays damp. Late spring and summer are the right time to remove standing water and trim shrubs away from the walls. Early fall is when door sweeps, vents and utility openings should be closed up before cold weather returns.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Ottawa
Ant treatment in Ottawa
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Ottawa, 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 Ottawa
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Ottawa 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 Ottawa
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 Ottawa home is built.
Cockroach control in Ottawa
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 Ottawa apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Ottawa
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 Ottawa
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Ottawa. 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.
