About our service
Pest control for Yakima, WA
With fewer than 10 inches of precipitation in a typical year, Yakima is a dry place, and that shapes pest control more than most people expect. About 97,000 residents share the city, with Riverview Manor among its named neighborhoods and parks such as Franklin Park, Larson Park, Emil Kissel Park and Tieton Terrace Park. In a dry setting, pests are drawn to whatever water and shade a property provides.
Natural Pest Solutions provides ant treatment, rodent control, spider control, termite control and pest inspection for Yakima homes and businesses. We offer natural pest control options using non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets. No long-term contract is needed, and the first step is always a free quote.

Pests we treat around Yakima
Pests in Yakima
What we deal with most around Yakima, WA
Dry conditions push insects toward irrigated yards, leaky hose bibs and damp spots beside foundations. Ants are the most common indoor visitor, and carpenter ants can move into any wood that has taken on moisture. Spiders and wasps do well in the long warm season, building in eaves, sheds, woodpiles and fence lines, and yellowjackets can be aggressive around trash cans and outdoor meals.
Winter is cold enough to send pests indoors. With about 109 nights a year at or below freezing, mice and other rodents look for heated space from autumn on, while boxelder bugs and stink bugs cluster on sunny walls and then slip through cracks. Fleas can be a nuisance where pets go outside, and ticks are worth watching for after time in grass or brush. Termites can also be present near soil contact.
Weather and pests
How Yakima's weather affects pest activity
Yakima is hot and dry in summer and cold in winter. July highs average about 88 degrees, and July is also the warmest month. January lows average around 27, and December tends to be the coldest month. Annual precipitation is only about 9 inches, and December is usually the wettest month at just 1.4 inches. About 38 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher, and about 109 nights a year fall to freezing or below.
Keep in mind that these figures come from 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals gathered at a nearby weather station. They describe typical conditions and should be read as a guide, not a forecast. Because rain is so scarce, any consistent water source on a property becomes valuable to insects. A drip line, a birdbath or a damp crawl space can hold a colony of ants that would otherwise struggle to survive.
In this climate, we like to start the season early. Late winter or early spring is a good time to check gutters and fix leaks, followed by an exterior treatment as the ground warms. Midsummer is when wasp nests and ant colonies reach their peak, so keep trash sealed and food covered outdoors. As nights get cold in autumn, close gaps and repair door sweeps to keep rodents and overwintering bugs outside.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Yakima
Ant treatment in Yakima
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Yakima, 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 Yakima
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Yakima 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 Yakima
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 Yakima home is built.
Cockroach control in Yakima
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 Yakima apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Yakima
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 Yakima
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Yakima. 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.
