Thistle Control in Boise, Idaho
Thistle can become a frustrating broadleaf weed problem in Boise lawns, especially along fences, property edges, and neglected or stressed areas. Some thistle varieties spread aggressively and can return season after season when contributing conditions remain. Pestcom Pest Management provides thistle control in Boise by confirming what is present and recommending practical next steps to reduce active growth and limit repeat problems.
Not sure if the weed is thistle or another broadleaf weed? We offer a free lawn inspection to identify the issue and guide next steps.
