Rodent activity is a common concern for homes, farms, and businesses throughout Gem County, Idaho. With a strong agricultural presence, irrigation systems, and a mix of rural properties and residential neighborhoods, mice and rats frequently move from surrounding land into structures as weather and seasonal conditions change.
Pestcom provides professional rodent control and exclusion services throughout Gem County focused on identifying active rodent problems, removing current infestations, and addressing the access points that allow rodents to enter homes, shops, and outbuildings.
Common Rodent Issues in Gem County
Gem County’s rural landscape and agricultural activity create consistent rodent pressure across the area. Some of the most common rodent issues we see include:
- Mice entering homes, garages, crawl spaces, and wall voids
- Rats traveling along irrigation canals, drainage areas, and fence lines
- Rodent activity in barns, shops, sheds, and agricultural buildings
- Chewed wiring, insulation damage, and contamination of stored materials
Properties near farmland, irrigation infrastructure, and older construction tend to experience higher rodent activity, but any structure with available entry points may be affected.
Our Rodent Control Process in Gem County
Our rodent control services in Gem County follow the same inspection-driven approach used across our service area, adjusted for rural and mixed-use properties:
- Thorough property inspection to identify rodent activity and entry points

Sealing and reinforcing common entry areas helps reduce rodent activity and improves the effectiveness of ongoing control efforts across homes, farms, and outbuildings.
Rodent Exclusion for Gem County Properties
After a professional inspection, common rodent exclusion needs found on Gem County properties often include:
- Foundation gaps, siding transitions, and structural seams where rodents can enter
- Utility, plumbing, and electrical penetrations into homes, shops, and barns
- Crawl space doors, vents, and under-home access points
