Pest control for Pullman, WA
Snow is a real part of life in Pullman, where about 33 inches falls in a typical year and roughly 127 nights are at or below freezing. That cold shapes pest control more than almost anything else. The city has about 33,500 residents and public spaces such as Ruby Street Park, Reaney Park, Spring Street Park, McGee Park, Martin Stadium, Beasley Coliseum and the Pullman Depot Heritage Center, and homes and businesses around all of them feel the same winter cold.
Natural Pest Solutions helps Pullman homeowners and businesses with rodent control, bed bug treatment, ant treatment, spider control and pest inspection. We offer natural pest control options and use non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets. There is no long-term contract, and a free quote is where every job begins, so you are informed before any decisions are made.

Pests we treat around Pullman
Pests in Pullman
What we deal with most around Pullman, WA
Long, cold winters push pests indoors. Mice are the biggest concern, and they can squeeze into garages, sheds and wall voids the moment nights turn frosty. Boxelder bugs, stink bugs and spiders also find their way inside to wait out the cold, and cluster flies and ladybird-type beetles gather on sunny south-facing walls in autumn. Carpenter ants can nest in damp wood, especially in older sheds and fence posts.
Summer is shorter than winter here, but about 22 days a year still reach 90 degrees or higher, enough for ants and wasps to build up quickly. Bed bugs are a separate matter, since they travel in luggage, backpacks and secondhand furniture and can turn up anywhere people move in and out often. If you rent out a home or have frequent visitors, inspect mattress seams and furniture edges regularly and act at the first sign of trouble.
Weather and pests
How Pullman's weather affects pest activity
Pullman has a semi-dry climate with warm summers and snowy winters. The July high averages about 84 degrees, August is the warmest month, and the January low is near 26, although December is the coldest month in the records. Annual precipitation is about 20 inches, and snowfall averages around 33 inches.
December is also the wettest month, with about 2.8 inches of precipitation. These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a weather station near Pullman, so they serve as a guide, not a forecast.
Snow cover and hard freezes keep outdoor activity low for much of the winter, but they also push rodents and insects into homes, so a hidden infestation may only show itself during a January cold snap. When the snow melts in spring, moisture around foundations can wake ants and attract carpenter ants to wet wood. Our advice is simple: seal gaps in early fall, keep firewood off the ground and away from the walls, watch for water leaks in spring, and check attics and garages in the middle of winter.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Pullman
Ant treatment in Pullman
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Pullman, 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 Pullman
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Pullman 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 Pullman
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 Pullman home is built.
Cockroach control in Pullman
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 Pullman apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Pullman
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 Pullman
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Pullman. 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.
