Featured on Boise's 103.5 KISS FM

We're excited to share that Bigfoot Pest Control recently landed a feature on 103.5 Kiss FM Boise's website, and the story behind it is one for the books.


Kiss FM's Mateo covered a downtown Boise TikTok challenge that racked up over 10 million views on a single video, with the series collectively pulling more than 20 million views across multiple clips filmed right in the streets of downtown Boise.


At the center of it all? Our very own Dan the Bigfoot. Kiss FM had the chance to speak with Dan directly, and as you may or may not be surprised to learn, he works in pest control right here in the Treasure Valley. The challenge — which Kiss FM described as "totally gross" — involved eating bugs like crickets and mealworms for under $10, and the internet absolutely could not look away.

Beyond the viral challenge videos, Dan's TikTok page also features practical pest advice for Boise-area residents, cementing his reputation as a certified bug guy through and through.


Boise is getting more attention than ever, and we're proud to be part of the local buzz (pun intended). Want to learn more about what we do? Check out our services and see why Dan the Bigfoot is the Treasure Valley's go-to pest control expert.

Is it worth hiring a pest control company?

March 12, 2026
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.

By Dan Christensen • March 11, 2026
Bigfoot Pest Control was featured on CBS2 News and Fox9 this past week. The story highlighted our unique mascot and co-founder, Dan “the Bigfoot” Schofield, and the viral social media challenges that have been taking the internet by storm.  Dan has been posting a series of Fear Factor–style challenges where contestants eat bugs, starting with something relatively mild like a salted, dried cricket and working their way up to a full Madagascar hissing cockroach.

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 2, 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
