Do you live in the greater Boise, Idaho / Treasure Valley area and are researching trusted pest control companies for your home or business pest problem(s)?

Here are some tips on what to look for and questions to ask when purchasing pest control or extermination services specific to the Boise region.

How to Select a Pest Control Company in Boise / Treasure Valley, ID

Selecting a pest control company that is professional and with a proven track record is important because you want effective pest control, an ethical company, and one that cares for the environment in the process.

What to look for (and questions to ask):

Pricing

Cost of pest control / extermination is only one aspect of selecting a pest control company. Selecting only by price might mean cutting corners, so check things out carefully.

Cost–Benefit Analysis of Professional Pest Control

Do the benefits of professional pest management services justify the cost?

  • Pests found in the Ada County/Treasure Valley area (cities of Boise, Eagle, Garden City, Meridian, Nampa, and more) include, but are not limited to, sugar ants (a.k.a. odorous house ants), carpenter ants, spiders, termites, boxelder bugs, mice, and rats.
  • Some of these pests are simply huge nuisances or they mess up our homes with webs. Others like termites, carpenter ants, mice, and rats can damage our homes or our possessions. Mosquitoes, mice, and rats also spread filth and disease.
  • Keeping your home safe from pests ensures a healthy and more secure environment for you and your family. Pest control is an important part of home hygiene. Professional pest control services, when properly done, help maintain the environmental health of your home.
  • What is a tolerable number of bugs and pests at your home?

Only you can answer this when it comes to a few relatively innocuous flies or nuisance bugs. Each of us has our own threshold when tolerating bugs. 

However, in the case of certain pests—such as mice, rats, termites, or ticks—their potential to cause damage and/or spread disease should not be tolerated in and around your home.

Age of company

The age of a company helps establish that they have been serving local customers for some time, which reflects on their professionalism, pest expertise, and ethical standards.

Licensed & Insured

This is the most basic requirement for a pest management company. Every pest control / extermination company should minimally be licensed to apply pest control products and be insured.

IPM Certification

Be careful to select a pest management company that has IPM (Integrated Pest Management) certified technicians. IPM certification ensures that care will be taken with the inspection process, pest identification, selecting holistic approaches that do not totally rely on pesticides, and delivering the best safety standards.

Safety & Environmental Record

It takes more than just words to demonstrate a pest control company’s conscientiousness around pest management safety for children, pets, and the natural environment. Protecting wildlife and the environment around the greater Boise area reflects a pest control company’s caring approach and professionalism.

Customer Reviews

Reading real customer reviews can give you an overall idea of the level of service that the pest control company provides. Look for reviews on:

  • the professionalism, knowledge and expertise of the technicians
  • the quality of service
  • the company’s pest control process
  • their eco-friendly approach
