About our service
Pest control for Charlestown, RI
Beaches, refuges and preserves run through Charlestown, and so does a steady supply of pests. About 8,000 people live here in Washington County, in neighborhoods such as Fort Ninigret, Shady Harbor, Charlestown Beach, Shelter Harbor, Haversham and Quonochontaug Beach. Homes near the shoreline face salt air and moisture, while those tucked back among trees face a different set of problems, so we do not treat every property alike.
Natural Pest Solutions handles mosquito control, ant treatment, rodent control and termite control in Charlestown. We offer 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 is the easy way to begin, and you will hear our full recommendation before you decide.

Pests in Charlestown
What we deal with most around Charlestown, RI
Around Kimball Refuge, Burlingame State Park and the coastal ponds, mosquitoes and ticks are the pests that residents deal with most. Both thrive in brush, marsh edges and any spot where water stays put. Carpenter ants and termites look for damp wood on decks, docks, trim and sheds, and wasps build nests under roof edges and in outbuildings.
Indoors, ants and spiders are the common complaints, and mice and other rodents come in when cold weather sets in. Charlestown has about 109 nights a year at or below freezing, so from late fall on, garages, crawl spaces and seasonal buildings become targets. With only about 3 days a year reaching 90 degrees, summer heat is mild, but damp air keeps many insects active. Homes that sit empty for part of the year deserve an extra look on return.
Weather and pests
How Charlestown's weather affects pest activity
Charlestown has a maritime climate with warm summers and cold winters. July highs average about 82 degrees, January lows average around 24, and January is typically the coldest month. The area gets about 43 inches of precipitation in a typical year, and October is usually the wettest month at about 4.3 inches. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so they are a guide, not a forecast.
The wet October is worth noting, because heavy autumn rain leaves soil and wood damp just when rodents and overwintering insects look for a way inside. Summer humidity near the water keeps ants foraging and mosquitoes breeding in birdbaths, gutters and buckets. Mild winters near the coast can also let some pests survive in sheltered corners longer than they would inland.
We suggest a spring look at decks, fence posts and trim for softness, steady removal of standing water through summer, and a thorough sealing of gaps and screens in early fall. If you own a seasonal property, check for rodent signs and damp wood when you reopen it.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Charlestown
Ant treatment in Charlestown
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Charlestown, 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 Charlestown
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Charlestown 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 Charlestown
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 Charlestown home is built.
Cockroach control in Charlestown
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 Charlestown apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Charlestown
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 Charlestown
Charlestown'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.
