Termite Control
What stops termites in the Treasure Valley
In Boise–Meridian–Nampa, subterranean termites are the concern—moving from moist soil into sill plates and subfloors through expansion joints, plumbing penetrations, and crawlspace stem walls. We start by confirming activity (mud tubes, moisture mapping, damaged wood) and locating conducive conditions: irrigation against foundations, negative grade, and leaky hose bibs. Control combines a continuous soil barrier (trench-and-rod to footer depth; foam in tight voids) with optional bait stations for long-term suppression. Expect a steady decline as the colony loses access points; ongoing monitoring and moisture correction keep them from re-establishing.
How we protect your home
- Inspect crawlspace/stem walls, piers, plumbing penetrations; map tubes and moisture
- Create trench 6–8" wide to footer; rod inject termiticide at labeled intervals
- Foam/spot treat wall voids and cold-joint seams as indicated
- Install perimeter bait stations (corners, downspouts, slab breaks) if selected
- Correct conducive conditions: grade, splash blocks, irrigation timing, wood-to-soil
- Document with photos, diagram, and service log; schedule follow-ups/annual check
Before we arrive
- Clear 12–18" along the foundation; move wood piles and bins away from walls
- Mark underground utilities/irrigation zones if known; unlock crawlspace access
- Fix active leaks (hose bibs, AC condensate) and reduce watering against the slab
- Note areas where you’ve seen tubes, swarms, or soft baseboards
After we treat
- Keep soil undisturbed next to the foundation for 48–72 hours
- Maintain gutters/splash blocks; avoid directing sprinklers at the foundation
- Do not caulk weep screeds or foundation weeps; those need to breathe
- We’ll recheck stations/entry points on the set schedule; contact us if you see new swarmers or fresh tubes between visits

Battling Termite Infestations
Termites are small, wood-eating insects that can cause serious damage to the structural elements of your home. The most common type of termite in Boise is the subterranean termite, which feeds on wood and plant materials at or below the ground surface.
While termites might be hard to spot, keep an eye out for these signs that can indicate an infestation in your home:
- Swarming insects in your home or around your yard
- Cracked or bubbling paint
- Discarded wings from swarming insects
- Mud tubes on your exterior walls or in crawl spaces
- Wood that sounds hollow when tapped
If you see visible damage to the wood inside your home, this is also a strong indication that you are facing a termite infestation. This damage can be subtle at first, but you may notice small holes in the wooden structures of your home. If that is the case, call Pestcom Pest Management right away! We’ll come to your home promptly and ensure that your termite problems are resolved once and for all.
Addressing termite infestations early is critical in Boise, where the local climate and soil conditions can accelerate termite activity. By using advanced detection technologies and personalized treatment strategies, Pestcom Pest Management ensures every corner of your home is safeguarded against these destructive pests. Our professionals not only eliminate existing infestations but also provide ongoing solutions to prevent future termite invasions.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Should I Have My Home Inspected for Termites?
It's recommended that Boise homeowners schedule a termite inspection at least once a year. However, if your home is located in areas with high termite activity or has had previous infestations, more frequent inspections might be necessary. During each inspection, our team will perform a comprehensive evaluation of both the exterior and interior of your home to catch any signs of termite presence early on. Regular inspections not only save money by preventing extensive damage but also ensure peace of mind knowing your home remains protected.
What Are the Most Effective Termite Treatments Available?
The most effective termite treatments include a combination of liquid soil treatments, termite baiting systems, and the application of borate wood treatments. Liquid soil treatments work by forming a chemical barrier in the soil that termites cannot cross without being affected. Baiting systems use strategically placed bait stations around your home to attract and eliminate termites. Borate treatments involve applying borate-based products to wood structures during the construction phase or can be used as a surface treatment in existing homes. At Pestcom Pest Management, our approach often involves integrating multiple methods to ensure comprehensive termite control.
Can Termites Return After Treatment?
While our treatments are effective at eliminating active infestations, termites can return if preventive measures are not maintained. In Boise, environmental conditions can facilitate new infestations over time, so ongoing vigilance is vital. Our team provides detailed guidance and additional preventive solutions, such as regular inspections and maintenance treatments, to reduce the risk of reinfestation. By forming a long-term partnership with us, homeowners can rest assured that their property is continuously protected against the threat of termites.
