About our service
Pest control for Charleston, WV
Charleston has about 46,500 residents spread across neighborhoods such as Fort Hill, the West Side, Forest Hills, Kanawha City, South Hills and Loudon Heights. Those areas differ in the age of their houses, the size of their yards and how close they sit to trees and green space, and pests respond to every one of those differences. A house surrounded by mature trees does not face quite the same pressures as an apartment on a busy street, and a good treatment plan starts by recognizing that.
Natural Pest Solutions helps Charleston homeowners and businesses with ant treatment, rodent control, cockroach control and a careful pest inspection when you are not sure what you are dealing with. 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 every job begins with a free quote so you know the plan before we start.

Pests we treat around Charleston
Pests in Charleston
What we deal with most around Charleston, WV
Mice and other rodents are a steady concern in a place with this many older buildings and wooded lots, especially once the weather turns cold. Carpenter ants go after damp or damaged wood, termites work quietly near foundations and porches, and spiders settle into basements, garages and window wells. In warmer months, mosquitoes breed in clogged gutters and standing water, and ticks wait in tall grass and leaf litter along the edge of a yard.
Fall brings stink bugs and boxelder bugs to sunny exterior walls, where they look for a way into wall voids and attics. Sealing gaps around pipes, vents and door sweeps before then keeps most of them outside, and it helps against mice at the same time.
Weather and pests
How Charleston's weather affects pest activity
Charleston has warm summers and cold winters. July highs average about 86 degrees and January lows average around 26. The area receives roughly 46 inches of precipitation a year, with July the wettest month at about 5.4 inches, and snowfall averages around 32 inches. These figures are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so treat them as a guide, not a forecast.
About 94 nights a year fall at or below freezing, which pushes rodents and overwintering insects toward heated buildings from late fall into spring. At the other end of the calendar, roughly 24 days reach 90 degrees or more, and a wet July gives mosquitoes and ants plenty to work with.
A workable yearly rhythm looks like this: check the exterior and start preventive treatment in spring, clear standing water through summer, close entry points in early fall, and look over attics and basements in winter. We are glad to build that schedule around your particular property.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Charleston
Ant treatment in Charleston
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Charleston, 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 Charleston
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Charleston 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 Charleston
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 Charleston home is built.
Cockroach control in Charleston
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 Charleston apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Charleston
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 Charleston
Charleston'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.

Serving Charleston
Around Fort Hill, Kanawha City and beyond
We work across Charleston, from Fort Hill and the East End to Kanawha City, Joplin, Vandalia and the Elk City Historic District. Parks such as Magic Island Park, Kanawha Riflemens Memorial Park and Ruffner Memorial Park put green space within reach of many homes, and a yard that borders open or wooded ground tends to see more wildlife-driven pests than one in the middle of a block. Older buildings in areas like the East End Historic District often have more nooks where pests can hide.
Whether you live near the Clay Center, the University of Charleston or the West Virginia State Capitol, you get the same careful work. We also cover nearby South Charleston, Dunbar, Malden, Rand and Dupont City, so if your address is on the outskirts, get in touch and we will confirm that we can reach you.
