Pest control for Wausau, WI
Winter comes early and stays late in Wausau, a city of about 40,000 people, so pest control here is about timing. The Grand Theater, the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum, the Marathon County Fairgrounds and Athletic Park are among the local places, and homes and businesses around them all have one shared concern: keeping cold-weather pests out of buildings once the temperature falls.
With natural pest control options and non-toxic, low-impact products that are safe around kids and pets, Natural Pest Solutions provides rodent control, ant treatment, termite control and pest inspection. You are never asked to commit to a long-term contract. A free quote gets things started, and you can take as much time as you need before deciding.

Pests in Wausau
What we deal with most around Wausau, WI
Wausau logs about 163 nights a year at or below freezing and about 64 inches of snow. Mice and other rodents will use snow drifts and stored firewood to reach small gaps, while boxelder bugs, stink bugs and cluster flies wait on sunny walls for a way in. Once they are inside, they often become active on mild winter days.
Summer is short, with only about 5 days a year reaching 90 degrees, but pests use every warm week. Carpenter ants move into damp wood after the spring melt, and termites feed at the base of wooden structures. Mosquitoes, wasps and ticks are all seasonal visitors, and spiders and cockroaches appear where food, water and warmth are available. Bed bugs are carried in, not born in.
Weather and pests
How Wausau's weather affects pest activity
Wausau's July highs average about 80 degrees, and January lows average about 7, with June the wettest month at about 4.7 inches. A typical year brings about 34 inches of precipitation and about 64 inches of snow, and only about 5 days a year reach 90 degrees. These are 1991-2020 NOAA climate normals from a nearby weather station, so they are a guide, not a forecast.
More than five feet of snow in a typical year means a long, wet spring thaw. The water it leaves at the base of a house is what draws carpenter ants and termites toward wood, and it can flood window wells and crawl spaces. Later, a rainy June adds to the moisture and provides ideal breeding sites for mosquitoes in ditches, gutters and containers.
Homeowners in Wausau can follow a simple yearly plan. Use spring to check wood and clear the gutters after the melt. Use summer to keep water from pooling and to watch for wasps. Use early fall to seal gaps and trim branches. During winter, watch for signs of rodents, and get in touch if you notice any.
How we fix it
Pest control services in Wausau
Ant treatment in Wausau
Ants are among the most common calls we get in Wausau, 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 Wausau
Mice and rats look for food, warmth and shelter, and Wausau 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 Wausau
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 Wausau home is built.
Cockroach control in Wausau
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 Wausau apartments, restaurants and older homes alike.
Spider control in Wausau
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 Wausau
A little standing water is all it takes for mosquitoes to breed in Wausau. 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.
