About our service
Pest control for Cottage Grove, WI
Cottage Grove has grown by about 23 percent, and today roughly 9,000 people live here. Fast growth changes the pest picture. Construction disturbs soil and pushes rodents and insects into new spots, fresh landscaping brings moisture and mulch against foundations, and yards that were once open ground fill with shrubs, play sets and sheds. Parks such as Governor Taylor Nature Park, Northlawn Park, Dublin Park and Willow Run Park add green space right next to many homes.
Natural Pest Solutions provides ant treatment, rodent control, mosquito control and pest inspection for Cottage Grove households. Our natural pest control options are built around non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets, and there is no long-term contract. To get started, ask for a free quote and we will explain what we would do at your property.

Pests we treat around Cottage Grove
Pests in Cottage Grove
What we deal with most around Cottage Grove, WI
With so much new building, homeowners often meet pests early. Mice and other rodents show up in fresh construction because gaps around pipes, vents and garage doors have not yet had time to be sealed properly, and spiders and ants arrive as soon as landscaping goes in. Carpenter ants are drawn to any wood that stays damp, including deck posts, fence boards and the trim around new windows.
Later in the year, boxelder bugs and stink bugs collect on sunny walls and try to move inside, while ticks and mosquitoes make the yard less pleasant for anyone who likes to spend time outdoors. Newer neighborhoods sometimes have drainage swales and retention areas, and any place where water lingers for more than a few days can turn into a mosquito nursery. Keeping those areas clear helps, and so does regular monitoring.
Weather and pests
How Cottage Grove's weather affects pest activity
Cottage Grove has warm summers and cold, snowy winters. According to 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, July highs average about 82 degrees and January lows about 12. Use these numbers as a guide, not a forecast.
In a typical year the area gets about 37 inches of precipitation, including roughly 52 inches of snow, and June is the wettest month at about 5.3 inches. Around 9 days a year reach 90 degrees or higher, and about 147 nights fall to freezing or lower. Wet early summers bring mosquito pressure, and the long cold season means that rodents and overwintering insects look hard for a way indoors.
One useful habit is to walk your property twice a year. In spring, look for damp wood, clogged gutters and gaps where utilities enter the house. In early fall, do the same again, this time also sealing garage door edges and screening vents. If you have a new home, pay extra attention to the areas where soil, mulch or stone touch the foundation, since those spots hold moisture and give insects easy access.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Cottage Grove
Ant treatment in Cottage Grove
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Cottage Grove, 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 Cottage Grove
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Cottage Grove 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 Cottage Grove
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 Cottage Grove home is built.
Cockroach control in Cottage Grove
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 Cottage Grove apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Cottage Grove
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 Cottage Grove
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Cottage Grove. 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.
