FAQ

It all depends on the pest or pests you are battling. But in general, we will treat your home for the current pest infestation, and then we will set up measures to make sure that a future infestation never happens.

The fastest way to get rid of clover mites is to call Pestcom Pest Management — our treatments will protect your home all year long. However, if you are looking for a DIY option, then here are a couple of tips. 1) properly fertilize your yard. 2) plant your plants a safe distance from your home. 3) replace all of your screens. 4) Seal the cracks and gaps that lead into your home. 5) Create a physical barrier from plants and trees around your home. This could be a path way or woodchips that cover the ground.

Absolutely. We only use treatments that are family-safe, which includes the furry little guys that run around in the backyard as well. On the rare occasion that we do a treatment that is extremely intense we will talk to you, in detail, about the steps required to keep your family safe while we remove the nasty problem that would be currently putting your family in danger.

A bed bug service is one of our more intense treatments. We want to make sure that we stop the bed bugs from coming back so you'll want to clean your home thoroughly so that our technicians can access the entire infected area. Then, you'll want to move all furniture at least 2' away from your walls. You'll also want to make sure that you don't put anything on top of furniture or beds. Lastly, you are going to want to remove all of your sheets from your beds and keep them in a black trashbag.

The easiest way to determine if you have bed bugs or not is to give us a call and request an inspection. But, if you are looking to check on your own, then you are going to want to remove all of the sheets from your beds. Once this is done, you can take a look at the seams in your mattress. Bed bugs often leave droppings behind and they'll get caught in the seams.

A lot of people think that bugs and other pests die during the winter but this isn't true. Pests act like snowbirds that drive down to St. George, Utah, or Pheonix, Arizona in the winter — they hate the cold. But instead of traveling thousands of miles, they travel into your walls. If an infestation is left all winter, it can create a huge problem in spring once the weather starts to warm up.

Boxelder bugs seem to invade every home in the fall. This is because they are trying to escape the cold and cling to the last couple of months they have left. So, to keep them out of your home you are going to need to block entraces. That means repairing screen doors and sealing up cracks in your foundation.

About ¼ inch - think the width of a pencil. We focus on garage door seals, utility penetrations, crawl-space vents, and pipe chases where we see most entry in Boise-area construction.

Most homes see a noticeable reduction within 3-7 days after we seal key gaps and deploy targeted trapping/baiting. We follow up until signs stop.

Yes. We perform minor sealing during service and can schedule larger exclusion repairs. We’ll document every gap and proposed fix.

We use secure placements and professional protocols designed for homes with children and pets. Your technician explains what’s used and where.

Follow-ups are part of the plan. We adjust placements, add sealing, and keep working the plan until your home is rodent-free.

Most homeowners book in September-November for guaranteed install windows. Late bookings are fine, but prime dates go first - especially for Boise, Meridian, and Nampa.

Design, pro-grade lights, clips and timers, installation, in-season maintenance, takedown, and off-season storage so you don’t have to handle any of it.

We provide commercial-grade, cut-to-fit strands for clean lines, reliable color, and quick maintenance if a bulb fails.

Yes - classics (warm white) to custom color maps and programmed patterns on request and encouraged.

Yes - in-season maintenance is included. If a section fails, we come out and fix it.

Ants, spiders, wasps, beetles, earwigs, rodents, and seasonal invaders like elm seed bugs—plus exterior prevention around the foundation, eaves, and entry points.
Specialty services (scheduled/priced separately): bed bugs, cockroaches, hornets, and yellow jackets (nest treatment/removal).

We recommend quarterly for year-round protection across the Treasure Valley. That said, we also offer custom plans (monthly, bi-monthly, one-time, or seasonal) based on your location, pest pressure, and preference.

You may see a slight uptick for 24-48 hours as pests are flushed out. Activity then drops as the protective barrier takes hold.

Interior service is as-needed. Many homes stay pest-free with exterior treatments alone; we’ll treat inside if you’re seeing activity or if conditions call for it.

Yes. We handle multi-unit properties, HOA common areas, restaurants, offices, warehouses, and more - with custom schedules, site maps, and reporting for managers and owners.

Yes - those are specialty services with dedicated inspection, prep instructions, and pricing. We’ll outline the treatment plan and scheduling specifics for your property.
