About our service
Pest control for Exeter, RI
Exeter is a small Washington County community of about 6,600 people, with neighborhoods such as Hillsdale, Nooseneck, Arcadia, Barberville, Usquepaug, Pine Hill, Tug Hollow, Black Plain, Austin and Tripps Corner. Wildlife refuges, preserves and quiet roads surround many homes, so pests move easily between the woods and the house. We plan our visits around that reality instead of using a generic routine.
Natural Pest Solutions provides rodent control, ant treatment, termite control and mosquito control in Exeter. 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. If you want to know where you stand, ask for a free quote and we will tell you what we recommend.

Pests we treat around Exeter
Pests in Exeter
What we deal with most around Exeter, RI
With this much open land and wooded edge around, ticks and mosquitoes tend to be the first concern for Exeter households, followed closely by rodents. Ticks wait in brush and tall grass and hitch a ride on pets, and mosquitoes lay eggs in ditches, buckets and blocked gutters. Mice move into barns, sheds, garages and basements, and they can enter through gaps as small as a pencil.
Carpenter ants excavate wood that has stayed damp, and termites feed on wood that touches soil. In fall, stink bugs and boxelder bugs collect on sunny walls, while spiders and wasps settle in around porches and outbuildings. Exeter sees about 128 nights a year at or below freezing, so the push to get indoors starts early, and roughly 9 days a year reach 90 degrees, which is enough to speed up ants and mosquitoes in midsummer.
Weather and pests
How Exeter's weather affects pest activity
Exeter has four distinct seasons. July highs average about 83 degrees, January lows average around 21, and January is typically the coldest month. The area gets about 53 inches of precipitation in a typical year, with March usually the wettest month at close to 5.6 inches, plus roughly 34 inches of snow. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so they are a guide, not a forecast.
Snowmelt and March rain saturate soil around foundations and outbuildings, so wood stays damp into spring. That sets the stage for carpenter ants and termites. As warmth returns, any pooled water becomes a breeding site for mosquitoes, and ticks become active again. Cold nights in autumn then send rodents looking for shelter in every building that has an opening.
We suggest checking wood near the ground and clearing gutters each spring, dumping standing water regularly through summer, and sealing gaps, screens and door sweeps in early fall. Store firewood off the ground and away from the house, and trim back branches that touch the roof.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Exeter
Ant treatment in Exeter
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Exeter, 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 Exeter
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Exeter 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 Exeter
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 Exeter home is built.
Cockroach control in Exeter
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 Exeter apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Exeter
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 Exeter
Exeter'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.
