We aim to provide prompt and reliable service so you can enjoy a pest-free environment as soon as possible.
How does Natura Pest Control personalize its pest control solutions?
At Natura, no two treatment plans are the same, just like no two homes or pest problems are exactly alike. Your pest troubles are as unique as you are, and we recognize the importance of personalized solutions. Our highly trained technicians analyze the situation, consider your preferences, and tailor a solution that ensures effective and lasting results.
What happens during an Initial Service appointment?
During your initial service appointment, we thoroughly assess the existing pest issue and implement a comprehensive treatment plan.
The process includes:
- Inspecting Your Home: Our team examines your residence to identify any nests or activity hotspots.
- Cobweb Removal: We sweep cobwebs from the exterior and garage areas to eliminate potential hiding spots for pests.
- CPest Entry Point Inspection: Our technicians inspect doors, windows, exterior piping, conduits, and other areas for potential pest entry points.
- Crack and Crevice Treatment: We perform targeted treatments to eliminate pest entry points, focusing on cracks and crevices where pests may hide.
- Liquid Application: Natura’s skilled technicians apply a liquid solution to create a pest barrier around your home’s foundation, doors, windows, and entry points.
- Granule Application: A granule application to your lawn and landscaping extends the pest barrier, creating additional protection around your home.
What is the purpose of these specific treatments during the Initial Service appointment?
Our approach is twofold: we resolve existing pest issues while proactively applying preventative measures. We’ll fortify your home with ongoing inspections, treatments, and barrier applications to protect against future pest infestations.
What happens during a Seasonal Service appointment?
After your initial pest treatment, our focus shifts to maintaining your pest-free environment through seasonal service appointments.
These scheduled treatments, tailored to each of the four seasons, are essential for preventing pests from returning.
Our dedicated team performs a range of proactive measures to keep pests at bay:
- Liquid Application: Applying a carefully selected product to the exterior of your home, foundation, and other structural entry points reinforces the protective barrier. Each application is specifically chosen to match the pest challenges of the season.
- Cobweb Removal: We sweep cobwebs from the exterior and garage areas to eliminate potential hiding spots for pests.
- New Entry Point Inspection: Our technicians inspect for new entry points, promptly addressing any vulnerabilities.
- New Crack and Crevice Treatment: We perform targeted treatments to eliminate pest entry points, focusing on cracks and crevices where pests may hide.
- Customized Pest Treatment: Based on customer requests, we address specific pest activity to meet your unique needs.
- Granule Application: A granule application to your lawn and landscaping extends the pest barrier, creating additional protection around your home.
Why are Seasonal Service appointments important after initial pest treatment?
Remember, pest control is typically a process, not an event. The first treatment is just the beginning; you’ll need regular maintenance to prevent pests from returning because Mother Nature will provide a never-ending supply of pests. Seasonal service appointments are adaptable, addressing changing environmental conditions and potential pest threats throughout the year. We use proactive measures to stay ahead of pests, guaranteeing your peace of mind.
How does Natura Pest Control handle urgent pest issues that may arise between regularly scheduled treatments?
Natura Pest Control provides re-services throughout the year to promptly address any urgent pest issues that may arise between regularly scheduled treatments. We understand the dynamic nature of pest control, and our team is dedicated to battling Mother Nature’s challenges whenever they occur. After all, Mother Nature never rests!
Why isn’t my technician spraying my entire yard?
Not every service requires a yard-wide spray. Our treatments are customized for specific seasons and pest behaviors. For instance, mosquito spraying is essential in warmer months but unnecessary in winter. Plus, Some pest issues may not necessitate sprays at all! Our granular insecticides are formulated to penetrate your lawn’s thatch layer without leaving any visible residue on the grass.
Your peace of mind matters to us, and our meticulous approach means we carefully tailor treatments to address your current and seasonal pest concerns. While we solely utilize eco-friendly and safe products, we prioritize responsible pest treatments, minimizing unnecessary exposure to pets and children.
Do I have to be home for my appointment?
If the inside of your home is being treated, someone over 18 must be home for your appointment. However, you do not need to be home for your regularly scheduled seasonal services. If you are not home, please secure your pets and unlock the gate to your backyard so our technician has full and safe access to your entire property.
How long does it take before I see results?
It varies depending on the pest we’re battling and the extent of the pest issue. For some treatments, you will start to see improvement almost immediately. However, significant improvements will likely take several days to weeks. Our technicians will give you a better idea of how long you should expect it to take before you start to see results.
If you aren’t happy with our service or notice an uptick in activity during our pest-free guarantee period, call us for a free re-treatment appointment.

Pest Questions
What is causing my pest problem?
An infestation can form when pests seek shelter, forage for food, or establish nests indoors. For instance, pests like roaches or flies are attracted to food clutter, while others might be drawn to the plants and grass surrounding your home.
If you’re facing a specific pest problem, consult with our technicians to identify its root cause and implement corrective measures.
What pests do you handle?
Literally everything! Our team is equipped to tackle diverse pest infestations, covering common insects such as ants, wasps, roaches, flies, fleas, bedbugs, and more. We also provide services for small rodents and mammals like mice and rats, along with other pests like spiders and earwigs. No matter the pest issue you’re facing, don’t hesitate to reach out – give us a call.
How do I know I have a pest infestation?
Are you concerned about the ant you caught in your kitchen? Don’t underestimate it; it could signal a more significant issue. With ants, one is never alone – where there’s one, there are likely thousands more behind the scenes. If you notice repeated instances of a pest, prompt action is crucial. Whether it’s droppings, foul or unusual odors, or signs of physical damage to your insulation or walls. Don’t hesitate to
call us for help.
Do you handle bats?
Bat removal can be a distinct challenge for pest professionals. In the United States, eight bat species are classified as endangered, while other species have protection under local regulations, making it illegal to harm or capture them. At Natura, we’ve developed a solution specifically crafted to align with these protective measures and ensure compliance with regulations. Call for details!
