About our service
Pest control for Forest Grove, OR
Old College Hall, the Pacific University Library and the Taylor-Meade Performing Arts Center are part of the everyday scenery in Forest Grove, a city of about 27,100 people. The Walker Naylor, Clark and Painter's Woods historic districts, along with houses such as the Harry A. Crosley House and the Isaac Macrum House, point to a place with many older buildings, and older buildings tend to have more gaps, settled foundations and hidden wood for pests to use.
Natural Pest Solutions offers ant treatment, rodent control, termite control and bed bug treatment for Forest Grove homes and businesses. Our natural pest control options use non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets, and there is no long-term contract. A free quote comes first, so the decision stays with you.

Pests we treat around Forest Grove
Pests in Forest Grove
What we deal with most around Forest Grove, OR
Forest Grove sees a familiar Oregon pest calendar. Carpenter ants and termites go after wood that stays damp, especially around porches, crawl spaces and old window sills. Mice and rats look for shelter as soon as autumn rain arrives, and spiders take up residence in basements, garages and outbuildings.
Summer brings wasps, mosquitoes and fleas, and shared buildings such as apartments, rentals and group housing can also face bed bugs and cockroaches, which travel easily on luggage, furniture and between units. Around parks like Lincoln Park, ticks can hitch a ride on pets and people who spend time in tall grass or brush. Catching a problem early is almost always simpler than waiting for it to spread.
Weather and pests
How Forest Grove's weather affects pest activity
Forest Grove has one of the wetter climates on our Oregon list. July highs average about 81 degrees, with August the warmest month, and roughly 23 days a year hit 90 or above. January lows average around 33, and January is also the coldest month. The area receives about 47 inches of precipitation a year, with December the wettest month at around 8.7 inches, plus about 3 inches of snow and around 61 nights at or below freezing. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and are a guide, not a forecast.
More freezing nights than many neighboring places means rodents feel the push indoors sooner and for longer. A cold snap after a wet December sends mice into wall voids and attics, while all that moisture leaves soil, siding and fence lines damp enough for wood-destroying insects. Warm afternoons in late summer, with about 23 days at 90 or more, help ants, wasps and mosquitoes breed quickly.
We suggest walking your property twice a year. In spring, clear gutters, trim shrubs off the siding, and look at wood that touches soil. In early fall, seal gaps around pipes, vents and garage doors, store firewood away from walls and set up monitoring in the attic and crawl space. Older houses often need a closer look at foundation vents and original trim, and our technicians can point out weak spots.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Forest Grove
Ant treatment in Forest Grove
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Forest Grove, 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 Forest Grove
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Forest Grove buildings offer plenty of all three. They can be a year-round issue. 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 Forest Grove
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 Forest Grove home is built.
Cockroach control in Forest Grove
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 Forest Grove apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Forest Grove
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 Forest Grove
Forest Grove'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.
