About our service
Pest control for Urbana, OH
Urbana has about 11,200 residents and a wide range of public places, including Barbara Howell Park, Melvin Miller Park, the Champaign County Library and Urbana City Hall, as well as museums such as the Champaign Aviation Museum and the Johnny Appleseed Education Center and Museum. The Urbana Monument Square Historic District and the Scioto Street Historic District mean many properties here are older structures, and older buildings have their own pest habits.
Natural Pest Solutions offers ant treatment, rodent control, termite control and cockroach control to Urbana homes and businesses. We use non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets, with natural pest control options where they fit. A free quote comes first, and a long-term contract is never part of the deal.

Pests we treat around Urbana
Pests in Urbana
What we deal with most around Urbana, OH
Older buildings, from houses in the historic districts to commercial spaces, tend to have more gaps around foundations, chimneys and utility lines, and that helps rodents and insects move in. Mice, carpenter ants, termites, spiders and cockroaches are the main concerns indoors, while mosquitoes, wasps and fleas take over the yard in warm weather. Boxelder bugs and stink bugs also gather on sunny walls in the fall.
Urbana has around 121 nights a year at or below freezing, enough cold to drive mice and overwintering insects toward heated buildings. Summers bring roughly 17 days at 90 degrees or higher, and heat plus moisture speeds ants, mosquitoes and wasps. Sealing gaps early in the fall and keeping the yard free of standing water covers most of the seasonal risk.
Weather and pests
How Urbana's weather affects pest activity
The figures here are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, and they are a guide, not a forecast. July highs in Urbana average about 85 degrees and January lows about 19. A typical year brings roughly 44 inches of precipitation, and July is the wettest month at about 5.5 inches.
A July that wet leaves plenty of standing water for mosquitoes to use, and it saturates soil next to foundations, which draws termites and carpenter ants. Clear gutters, extend downspouts, empty buckets and plant saucers, and keep mulch a few inches from the siding. Damp crawl spaces and basements also attract cockroaches, so keep them dry and ventilated.
January lows near 19 degrees mean the cold season is a real one. As nights drop, mice and other pests look for shelter in attics, garages and wall voids. Store firewood away from the house, seal gaps around pipes and doors, and check for droppings or gnawing every few weeks in winter.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Urbana
Ant treatment in Urbana
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Urbana, 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 Urbana
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Urbana 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 Urbana
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 Urbana home is built.
Cockroach control in Urbana
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 Urbana apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Urbana
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 Urbana
Urbana'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.
