About our service
Pest control for Rutland, VT
Rutland spends a long stretch of the year in the cold, with about 164 nights a year at or below freezing, and that shapes almost everything about local pest control. Insects and rodents that spend summer outdoors are looking for a warm way in by the time the first frost arrives, and Rutland's roughly 15,600 residents know the routine of closing up for winter.
Natural Pest Solutions helps Rutland homeowners and businesses with rodent control, ant treatment, spider control and pest inspection. Our natural pest control options use non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets. Ask for a free quote, and know that there is no long-term contract attached.

Pests we treat around Rutland
Pests in Rutland
What we deal with most around Rutland, VT
Mice lead the list in a place with winters this long, followed by carpenter ants in damp wood and overwintering insects such as boxelder bugs, stink bugs and wasps that build in attics and wall voids. Spiders follow the insects, and in warmer months mosquitoes and ticks appear around yards, parks and wooded edges.
Businesses in and around the Rutland Downtown Historic District, and homes in the Rutland Courthouse Historic District, are best served by a pest inspection that separates real entry points from minor ones. Shops, offices and restaurants often add deliveries, food storage and trash areas to the list, so a regular schedule helps. Homeowners can keep bins tightly lidded, fix leaks quickly and store cardboard off the floor to take away the easy wins pests look for.
Weather and pests
How Rutland's weather affects pest activity
Rutland's July highs average about 80 degrees and January lows about 8. A typical year brings roughly 40 inches of precipitation and 75 inches of snow, with only about 4 days at 90 degrees or higher. July is the wettest month at around 4.6 inches. These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so read them as a guide, not a forecast.
Because the wettest month is also one of the warmest, midsummer can bring a burst of mosquitoes and a lot of moisture along foundations. In winter, heavy snow against siding and the freeze and thaw cycle open small cracks that rodents are quick to use.
Early spring is a good time to check crawl spaces and wood near the ground. Late summer is the window to seal gaps before the rush indoors begins. In midwinter, listen for scratching in walls and look for droppings along baseboards, because catching a rodent problem in January is much better than discovering it in April.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Rutland
Ant treatment in Rutland
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Rutland, 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 Rutland
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Rutland 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 Rutland
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 Rutland home is built.
Cockroach control in Rutland
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 Rutland apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Rutland
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 Rutland
Rutland'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.
