About our service
Pest control for Shaler Township, PA
Shaler Township, in Allegheny County, has about 27,100 residents and a long list of parks, fields and libraries, from Kiwanis Park and Richter Park to Denny Park and Woodland Park. When neighborhoods sit this close to trees and grass, the pests that live there see homes as an extension of their habitat, and the fences and foundations between the two are what keep them apart.
Natural Pest Solutions provides ant treatment, rodent control, termite control and spider control across the township, and we can run a pest inspection to find out what is really going on. We offer natural pest control options and non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets. There is no long-term contract, and every request begins with a free quote.

Pests in Shaler Township
What we deal with most around Shaler Township, PA
Homes around Shaler often deal with the same small group of problems. Mice move into garages and basements when the temperature drops, ants find their way to kitchens in spring, and spiders fill corners of porches, sheds and window wells. Wasps nest in eaves and under decks, carpenter ants damage wood that stays wet, and stink bugs and boxelder bugs cling to sunny walls when the days shorten.
About 20 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher, and about 107 nights fall at or below freezing, so pests have room to be active in summer and a motive to come indoors in winter. Around wooded lots and park edges, mosquitoes and ticks appear from late spring through early fall, and fleas hitch a ride on pets and wildlife. Bed bugs are a separate concern, since they travel with people and can show up in any type of home.
Weather and pests
How Shaler Township's weather affects pest activity
Shaler Township has a moderate climate with clear seasons. July highs average about 85 degrees and January lows average around 20, with July the warmest month and January the coldest. The area receives about 38 inches of precipitation in a typical year, and July is also the wettest month at about 3.6 inches. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so they are a guide, not a forecast.
Even with a comparatively modest amount of rain, a stormy July can leave gutters overflowing, soil soggy and puddles standing in low corners of a yard. Mosquitoes make use of every one of them. Moisture at the base of a house softens wood and draws carpenter ants and termites, and poor grading around a house can shed water toward the foundation. As the weather cools, mice explore gaps around doors, dryer vents and utility lines.
A few simple habits go a long way: direct downspouts away from the house, keep branches and shrubs trimmed back, store firewood off the ground and away from walls, and seal cracks before the first freeze. When you would rather leave it to the professionals, we can take care of it on a schedule that works for you.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Shaler Township
Ant treatment in Shaler Township
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Shaler Township, 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 Shaler Township
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Shaler Township 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 Shaler Township
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 Shaler Township home is built.
Cockroach control in Shaler Township
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 Shaler Township apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Shaler Township
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 Shaler Township
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Shaler Township. 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.
