Is it worth hiring a pest control company?

December 4, 2025
Homeowners ask us this all the time, and it usually comes right after they’ve already tried battling ants, spiders, wasps, or roaches on their own. We’re upfront about this. Hiring a pest control company isn’t always necessary. Sometimes a simple fix solves the issue. But in many cases, professional service is worth every penny because it prevents problems from getting bigger, more expensive, and far more stressful. Here’s a breakdown based on what we’ve seen firsthand in thousands of homes across Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Nampa, Kuna, Caldwell, and Star.

Why You Should NEVER Squish a Roach

December 4, 2025
Roaches are one of the most hated pests on earth. When one darts across the kitchen floor, the first instinct is usually to grab a shoe and end it right there. We get it. We’ve walked into homes across Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Nampa, Kuna, and Caldwell where people proudly tell us, “Don’t worry, we killed a bunch of them already.” But here’s the truth: squishing cockroaches is one of the worst things you can do during an infestation.  We’ve spent years battling German roaches in Treasure Valley kitchens, bathrooms, restaurants, and apartment-style setups, and we’ve seen firsthand how crushing them can make the problem worse. Below is the breakdown of why.

What is the hardest pest to get rid of?

December 4, 2025
When homeowners ask us which pest is the hardest to eliminate, they’re usually expecting one of two answers: cockroaches or bed bugs. And for good reason. Both are notorious, both are stubborn, and both can make even the cleanest home feel like a battleground. But after years servicing thousands of homes across Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Nampa, Kuna, Caldwell, Star, and even down to Mountain Home and up through Weiser, we’ve learned that the question isn’t quite that simple. The hardest pest to eliminate isn’t just about biology. It’s about behavior, environment, customer expectations, and the realities of what a pest control technician faces inside a home.

Surprise- The Deadliest Animal In The US Isn't The One You'd Think

By Dan Christensen • August 28, 2025
When most people in Idaho hear the phrase “deadly animal,” they think of rattlesnakes on a hot trail, a mountain lion lurking in the foothills, or even a bear deep in the woods. But the numbers tell a different story—and it’s far closer to home than you might imagine. According to CDC data, between 2018 and 2023 there were 1,604 animal-related deaths nationwide, an average of 267 per year. What’s alarming is that this number is steadily climbing—up 38% in just five years. And the top culprit? Not snakes. Not cougars. Not even bears. It’s the buzzing stingers in your own backyard: hornets, wasps, and bees. Stinging Insects: America’s #1 Killer

Are There Termites in Idaho?

By Dan Christensen • July 31, 2025
Yes. Contrary to popular belief, Idaho does have termites . While the state is not as notorious as southern states for termite infestations, subterranean termites, and in some cases dampwood termites, are active throughout most of Idaho, posing a real risk to homeowners.

By Dan Christensen • June 9, 2025
Southern Idaho is experiencing a major outbreak of Mormon crickets, with large swarms now spreading across Owyhee County and moving steadily toward the Treasure Valley. The insects are consuming crops, damaging rangeland, and creating hazardous conditions on rural roads.
