About our service
Pest control for Colchester, VT
Colchester is a Chittenden County city of about 17,800 people with a lot of protected and public land: Rossetti Natural Area, Derway Island Natural Area, Delta Park, Macrae Farm Park and the Mount Calvary Red Maple Wetland, among others. That much wetland and woods nearby shapes the pests homeowners run into, especially insects that breed in water and rodents that shelter in cover.
Natural Pest Solutions offers mosquito control, flea control, rodent control and more to Colchester homes and businesses. We use natural pest control options with non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets, and there is no long-term contract. A free quote is the easiest first step.

Pests in Colchester
What we deal with most around Colchester, VT
Mosquitoes are the headline pest wherever there is wetland, and ticks travel with deer and small animals through brush and tall grass. Around the house, mice and other rodents, carpenter ants, spiders and wasps make up most of the calls, with fleas showing up when pets spend time outdoors.
Colchester records about 141 nights a year at or below freezing, so the push indoors starts early in fall and runs into spring. Boxelder bugs and stink bugs gather on warm walls on sunny autumn days, then slip through small gaps to spend the winter inside. Along the edges of wetland and natural areas, a few habits reduce bites. Keep grass cut short, stack woodpiles away from the house, and leave a strip of gravel or wood chips between lawn and woods, since ticks dislike crossing dry, sunny ground. Empty birdbaths and pet bowls every few days, and check gutters for pooled water. After time outdoors, check yourself, kids and pets for ticks, and comb pets before they come indoors.
Weather and pests
How Colchester's weather affects pest activity
Colchester's July highs average about 82 degrees and its January lows about 11. A typical year brings roughly 35 inches of precipitation and 50 inches of snow, and only around 6 days reach 90 degrees. June is the wettest month at about 4.1 inches. The figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, and they are a guide, not a forecast.
A wet June on top of spring snowmelt is prime time for mosquito breeding in low spots, clogged gutters, buckets and old tires. Even short dry spells in summer can push insects toward shaded, damp corners of a property, so moisture management does more than any single spray.
We suggest walking your property in April for standing water and soft wood, checking screens and door sweeps in summer, and sealing cracks around utility lines before October.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Colchester
Ant treatment in Colchester
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Colchester, 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 Colchester
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Colchester 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 Colchester
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 Colchester home is built.
Cockroach control in Colchester
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 Colchester apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Colchester
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 Colchester
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Colchester. 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.
