Professional Rodent Control in Boise, Idaho
Rodent activity is a common problem across Boise—especially when temperatures drop and mice and rats look for warmth, food, and easy shelter. From older neighborhoods with small gaps around utility penetrations to newer builds with builder-grade sealing, rodents can find a way in and create problems quickly.
Pestcom provides rodent control services in Boise designed to eliminate active activity and reduce the chances of repeat issues. We focus on practical solutions: locating where rodents are traveling, placing control products strategically, and helping you reduce the conditions that attract them in the first place.
Signs You May Have Mice or Rats
- Scratching or movement sounds in walls, ceilings, garages, or crawlspaces
- Droppings under sinks, behind appliances, in pantries, or along baseboards
- Gnaw marks on stored items, wiring, or wood edges
- Grease rub marks along walls where rodents travel repeatedly
- Pet behavior changes (staring at cabinets/walls, sudden alertness at night)
Why Rodents Are a Frequent Issue in Boise
Boise properties often back up to greenbelts, canals, irrigation corridors, foothills edges, and high-traffic commercial areas—places that can support rodent populations year-round. As food sources shift and weather changes, rodents move toward structures and take advantage of garage clutter, stored pet food, bird seed, and small openings around doors and foundations.
How Pestcom Approaches Rodent Control
Every rodent situation is different. Our process is built to stay effective without overcomplicating things:
- Activity assessment to identify the highest-pressure areas and likely travel routes
- Targeted control placement (traps and/or bait stations where appropriate)
- Interior support when needed for active infestations or confirmed indoor activity
- Prevention guidance to reduce attractants and limit re-entry risk
- Follow-up as needed to confirm progress and adjust based on what we’re seeing
What You Can Do Today to Reduce Rodent Pressure
- Store pet food and bird seed in sealed containers
- Trim vegetation away from the foundation and keep ivy from contacting siding
- Clean up fallen fruit and reduce ground-level clutter near walls
- Keep garage doors sealed and close exterior doors fully
- Reduce standing water where possible (especially near crawlspaces and sheds)

Frequently Asked Questions About Rodent Control in Boise
How do I know if I have mice or rats?
Mice typically leave smaller droppings and may be noticed in kitchens, pantries, and garages. Rats leave larger droppings, can be louder in walls/attics, and often travel along exterior edges and fences. If you’re unsure, we can help identify activity during service.
Is rodent activity worse during winter in Boise?
Yes. As temperatures drop, rodents move indoors for warmth and steady food sources. However, activity can occur year-round near food, water, and shelter.
Do I need to leave my home during treatment?
In most cases, no. Rodent control is typically focused on strategic placement and monitoring. We’ll explain what we’re doing and where products are placed.
Can rodents come back after treatment?
They can if entry points and attractants remain. That’s why prevention steps—like improving door seals, removing food sources, and reducing clutter near walls—are important for long-term success.
Do you offer help beyond Boise?
Yes. We serve the Treasure Valley. If you’re nearby, visit: Treasure Valley Pest Control.
