- Entry points: door thresholds without sweeps, unsealed utility penetrations, torn screens
- Lighting: bright entry lights drawing night-flying insects to doors and windows
Residential General Pest Service: What Happens at a Home Visit
1) Inspection and Plan
We start with a quick walk-through of the exterior, garage, and key interior areas (kitchen, baths, utility). We identify pest pressures, entry points, and conducive conditions unique to Boise-area homes.
2) Exterior Foundation & Perimeter
- Targeted liquid application to foundation, door frames, window trim, eaves/soffits, and weep screeds
- Granular treatment or micro-encapsulated product in landscape bands and along fence lines where appropriate
- De-webbing and wasp nest knockdown on accessible eaves and play structures
- Bait placements for ant pressure zones and hot spots
3) Interior (As Needed)
- Precision crack-and-crevice applications in baseboards, plumbing penetrations, and utility rooms
- Garage treatment and monitoring for spiders/occasional invaders
- Minimal-odor, family- and pet-considerate approach with clear re-entry guidance
4) Proofing & Prevention Tips
We point out simple fixes: tighten door sweeps, repair screens, thin mulch back from siding, correct irrigation overspray, and store food in sealed containers.
5) Maintenance Schedule
Most homes choose quarterly service to keep the protective barrier active through Boise’s peaks. We can increase frequency during heavy seasons or dial into a bi-monthly cadence for high-pressure properties.
Service area: Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, Eagle, Kuna, Star, Middleton, and Garden City.

How do I get rid of Boxelder Bugs?Boxelder bugs seem to invade every home in the fall. This is because they are trying to escape the cold and cling to the last couple of months they have left. So, to keep them out of your home you are going to need to block entraces. That means repairing screen doors and sealing up cracks in your foundation.
-
Why do I need a pest service in the winter?A lot of people think that bugs and other pests die during the winter but this isn't true. Pests act like snowbirds that drive down to St. George, Utah, or Pheonix, Arizona in the winter — they hate the cold. But instead of traveling thousands of miles, they travel into your walls. If an infestation is left all winter, it can create a huge problem in spring once the weather starts to warm up.
-
How do I know if I have bed bugs?The easiest way to determine if you have bed bugs or not is to give us a call and request an inspection. But, if you are looking to check on your own, then you are going to want to remove all of the sheets from your beds. Once this is done, you can take a look at the seams in your mattress. Bed bugs often leave droppings behind and they'll get caught in the seams.
