About our service
Pest control for Taylor, PA
Taylor is home to about 6,250 people, along with places like Anthracite Park, Mayor John Derenick Park, Sloan Park and the Taylor Community Center. Winters here are long and snowy, and homes hold up to them year after year, which also means rodents and insects have plenty of time to find a soft spot in a foundation or roofline.
Natural Pest Solutions provides ant treatment, rodent control, termite control, spider control and pest inspections for Taylor homes and businesses. We use natural pest control options and non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets. We never require a long-term contract, and every project begins with a free quote.

Pests we treat around Taylor
Pests in Taylor
What we deal with most around Taylor, PA
Cold weather is the main driver of pest calls in Taylor. Mice and rats move indoors as soon as temperatures fall, nesting in attics, basements and behind appliances. Cockroaches and ants stay active year-round in heated buildings, and spiders take advantage of the insects that overwinter in garages, cellars and utility rooms.
Once things warm up, carpenter ants emerge from damp wood, mosquitoes breed in puddles and gutters, and wasps start new nests in eaves and sheds. Ticks wait in tall grass and brush, while fleas travel on pets. Termites are a hidden threat in any building with wood near the soil, and stink bugs and boxelder bugs cover sunny walls in autumn.
Weather and pests
How Taylor's weather affects pest activity
Taylor's climate is cool, with snowy winters. July highs average about 85 degrees, January lows average around 20, and January is the coldest month. A typical year brings about 39 inches of precipitation and about 45 inches of snow, with September the wettest month at roughly 4.2 inches. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so treat them as a guide, not a forecast.
About 12 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher, so hot weather comes in short bursts. Even so, a wet September keeps soil around foundations soaked, and that is when termites and carpenter ants tend to make progress. Check for peeling paint, soft trim and musty smells in basements or crawl spaces, since these often point to moisture problems.
Roughly 122 nights a year drop to freezing or below, and heavy snow means rodents have every reason to look for warmth indoors. Before the first storm, seal gaps around utility lines, install door sweeps, and clean out clutter in the garage. After snowfall, keep drifts and firewood away from the walls, because they give mice cover close to the building and easy access to small gaps.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Taylor
Ant treatment in Taylor
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Taylor, 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 Taylor
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Taylor 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 Taylor
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 Taylor home is built.
Cockroach control in Taylor
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 Taylor apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Taylor
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 Taylor
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Taylor. 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.
