About our service
Pest control for The Dalles, OR
The Dalles is an Oregon city of about 15,900 people, with landmarks that include the Wasco County Courthouse, The Dalles Civic Auditorium, the Granada Theater and Old St. Peter's Landmark. The Dalles Commercial Historic District and the End of the Oregon Trail Landmark are named on the map too, and parks such as Seufert County Park, Howe Park and Lewis and Clark Festival Park add green space. Older commercial blocks and open park ground bring quite different pest pressures.
Natural Pest Solutions offers ant treatment, rodent control, spider control and pest inspection service in The Dalles. 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.

Pests we treat around The Dalles
Pests in The Dalles
What we deal with most around The Dalles, OR
With so little rain, pests here are mostly after water, warmth and shelter. Ants follow moisture into kitchens and bathrooms, spiders settle in garages, sheds and window wells, and wasps build nests in eaves and fence posts. Mosquitoes appear near irrigated yards, ponds and any container that holds water, and fleas do well in warm, shaded yard corners where pets rest.
When cold nights begin, mice and rats look for cozy places inside, and boxelder bugs and stink bugs gather on sunny walls. Restaurants, hotels and shops in older commercial buildings may also see cockroaches, which prefer warm kitchens and drains. Carpenter ants are less common in dry places, but a leaking roof or pipe can still create a home for them.
Weather and pests
How The Dalles's weather affects pest activity
The Dalles is dry, with hot summers and cold winter nights. July highs average about 88 degrees, July is the warmest month, and about 43 days a year reach 90 or higher. January lows average around 31, and January is the coldest month too. Precipitation totals only about 14 inches a year, December is the wettest month at about 2.7 inches, snow averages out close to zero, and about 72 nights a year fall to freezing or below. Those are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station and are a guide, not a forecast.
Low rainfall does not mean low pest pressure. It means insects gather where moisture is, so irrigation lines, leaky spigots, air conditioner drips and pet bowls matter. Forty-plus hot days speed up ant colonies, wasps and mosquitoes, and hot afternoons drive spiders and rodents into cooler, shaded parts of buildings.
About 72 freezing nights bring a second push each fall as mice, spiders and overwintering insects move indoors. A yearly routine for The Dalles starts with exterior treatment in spring, moves to watching for nests and water sources in summer, and puts most effort into sealing gaps around vents, pipes and door frames in early autumn. Through winter, check attics and stored items for droppings or chewed material, and keep firewood away from walls.
How we fix it
Pest control services in The Dalles
Ant treatment in The Dalles
Ants are among the most common calls we get in The Dalles, 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 The Dalles
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and The Dalles 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 The Dalles
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 The Dalles home is built.
Cockroach control in The Dalles
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 The Dalles apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in The Dalles
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 The Dalles
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in The Dalles. 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.
