Boise Pillbug Control

Our technicians know a lot about pillbug infestations. We’ve applied pillbug removal treatments to hundreds of homes in Meridian, Eagle, and around the Boise area. We know how to spot the signs of pillbugs immediately and where to find the source of the infestation. We will visit your home to search for:

• Possible infestation locations in the kitchen, bathroom, patio, and even in the walls.
• Signs of pillbugs, such as plant damage and sightings of the bugs themselves.
• Potential entry points for pillbugs, including cracks in the walls and foundation.

We complete a full inspection so we can understand the extent of the problem.

We stop the infestation in its tracks by exterminating all traces of pillbugs in your home. Our treatments are tough on insects, but safe for your family and pets. This is what you can expect on the day of treatment:

• Our technicians come to your home at a time that is convenient for you, and they immediately get to work.
• We apply the necessary treatments to the infested areas of the home or yard.
• We inspect the infected areas to make sure every single pillbug is eliminated.

We use the most effective treatments in order to completely remove pillbug from your home. Our pillbug treatments are tough on pests but safe for your family and pets.

Now that the pillbugs are gone from your Boise home, we make sure they never come back! To ensure that your home will be protected in the future, our technicians will do the following:

• Apply treatments in strategic locations to create a barrier around your home that keeps pillbugs out.
• Make recommendations to reduce the chance of an infestation, including sealing food containers and keeping surfaces clean.
• Return for regular treatments as necessary.

We want to make sure you never have to see pillbugs around your home again!

Pillbugs can be found just about anywhere. They thrive inside and outside — in cold environments and hot ones. And they are located in nearly every corner of the planet, including Idaho. 

In Idaho, you can find several types of pillbugs. The most common species in Idaho include:

• Armadillidium vulgare. This is the most well-known species of pillbug, often referred to as the common pillbug or roly-poly. It can roll into a tight ball when disturbed.
• Armadillidium nasatum. This species also has the ability to roll into a ball. It has a more elongated shape and a pronounced ridge along its back.
• Porcellio scaber. Porcellio scaber cannot roll into a ball. It has a rough, textured exoskeleton.
• Porcellionides pruinosus. This species has a more powdery appearance due to a fine layer of secretion on its exoskeleton. It is often found in moist environments.
• Cylisticus convexus. This species can partially roll into a ball and has a more convex shape compared to other pillbugs. It is less common but can still be found in Idaho.

You can find pillbugs in your kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, yard or even in the walls of your home. Our team of Boise-based pest technicians are experts in pillbug control.
