Pest Control Services

Idaho has some of the most beautiful landscapes in America. Homeowners in Chubbuck take pride in their yards and love to entertain. But we also have to share our yards with pests that can drive you and your guests indoors. At Pest Control Services we specialize in pest control and real estate pest inspections. 

Bee & Wasp Removal

We all know how important bees are to the environment and to the success of our gardens. But sometimes bees make their nests in areas that are dangerous for both them and you. When that happens it is important that you call a professional to remove the nest. At Pest Control Services our bee and wasp control program begins with an inspection of your yard. Then we will attempt to remove bee hives and relocate them to a safer environment if possible. 

Common Places to Find Bee and Wasp Nests

Beautiful landscapes require dedicated maintenance. When issues such as pests or plant diseases strike, they can wreak havoc on a landscape quickly.

What’s particularly damaging to a beautiful landscape? Tree deterioration and even death. 

Boring insects and pests can work their way into trees, destroying them from the inside out. And trees can catch diseases that are detrimental to their health, too. 

What can you do to prevent or treat these issues? Micro tree injections are particularly effective at getting rid of disease and pests. It’s important to have a professional service you can rely on in the event that you find pests or diseases harming the plants on your property. Who do you have to rely on right now?

Like all living things today, pests depend on moisture for multiple reasons. 

However, the chief among those reasons is for basic survival. 

No matter what type of pest it is, they need moisture, they may not need a lot, but they need some for sure. 

That’s why they’re so attracted to any humid environments. It’s also why any slightly leaky pipe or standing water in the backyard can draw them right in. So if you’re wondering why pests are showing up where they previously hadn’t, looking for moisture is a good starting point. 

But what pests should you be looking for? Or what pests can you expect to see? 

Are you tired of dealing with pests but you don’t know how to keep them away? 

Or maybe you know but your usual methods aren’t doing the trick! 

In either case, we can help. 

Pest Control Services has learned a few cleaning tips over the years that can reduce or eliminate pests in your home. So we thought it would be helpful to compile a few of those tips here for you to use! 

Now, you’ll have plenty of cleaning to do, so let’s not waste time! Here we go!

The team at Pest Control Services has been serving the Idaho community since 1970 and dealing with a wide variety of pests in that time. Termites are one of those nasty little pests that can leave your home in ruins.

Luckily, we’ve learned a lot about termites, and all of our knowledge can help you prevent your home from becoming or staying infested. In this post, we’ll update you on everything you need to know. So stick with us. 

Ensure There Aren’t Already Termites in Your Home.

Before you learn how to prevent or exterminate them, it’s a good idea to find out if they’re already present in your home. If you see one or more of the following, then you may have termites:

1. In early spring or after a heavy rainfall, winged termites swarming.
2. Seeing dead termites or wings from swarmers. 
3. Accumulation of dirt resulting from mud tubes. 
4. Warped doors or floors. 
5. Holes in wood. 
6. Baseboards or floors that sound hollow. 

How To Prevent Termites.

If you’re confident that you don’t have any termites, then you’re probably looking to keep it that way. We understand that more than most, so let’s break down good practices to keep these pests away:

1. Termites love the plants you keep outside. We know you do too. However, those plants offer great opportunities for the termites to cover up their damages, and they’ll even use them as a bridge to enter your home. Leave a good distance between your outdoor plants and your home. 
2. Termites may swarm in early spring for a number of reasons, but mainly to scout out a new home. To prevent them from picking yours, keep outdoor lights off at night and relocate them to areas away from doors and windows.
3. Many termites in the United States are subterranean, so it can help to limit the amount of wood making contact with soil. That will give them fewer chances to climb up and feed on your home. 
4. Properly vent all attics, crawlspaces, and basements. Humidity in these spaces attracts termites. 
5. Lastly, ensure there aren’t gaps in your home that could allow entry. Look out for windows and doors.

What To Do if You Have Termites.

If you’ve looked at the list and discovered you have termites, then what can you do?

Most of us store our holiday decorations in basements and attics – two places that pests tend to hide in. When you’re unpacking your holiday decorations for the season, make sure to check all your decorations before you use them! Here are some of the most common bugs you may find hiding in your holiday decorations.

Spiders

Spiders love cool, dry places and they are so small, they can fit in nearly any crack or crevice. It is easy for spiders to get inside your holiday decorations and make their webs within your belongings. When decorating for the holidays, you should always dust things off and make sure that spiders and their webs aren’t hanging onto your stuff. If you notice lots of spiders and you can’t get rid of them yourself, you should call an exterminator.

Silverfish

Silverfish are those centipedes you dread to see – the ones with the long bodies and tons of feet. , these pests don’t cause humans any harm, and they are actually good to have around because they eat small bugs. But, you don’t want to have one of these centipedes on your holiday decorations. Make sure to clean off your holiday items before bringing them out of your basement or attic.

Rodents

Mice and rats love to hide in basements and attics. No matter where you live, these pesky critters tend to hide in your home and make their nests in very small cracks and crevices. If you notice rodent droppings in your basement or attic, that is a telltale sign that rodents are somewhere nearby. The best course of action is to set out some traps or call an exterminator to take care of the issue. Before bringing any boxes full of holiday decorations upstairs, check to see if there are any small rodents inside. If there are, you can always set the box outside and let the rodents out into your backyard.

You are probably pretty familiar with taking care of your lawn and shrubs in the summer. But when colder weather hits, and snow starts to fall, it can be harder to know what you need to do to maintain your landscaping. Cold weather and snow can be hazardous to the plant life in your garden, but don’t fret. If you go into this winter prepared, you can be sure that you are doing the most you can to foster healthy growth - even when you can’t see any green.

Clear Debris

Keeping your lawn free of debris such as dead leaves is one of the best things you can do for it. Piles of leaves make perfect homes for bugs and other critters, and they can also kill your grass by depriving it of sunlight, water, and air.

Water

Winter can be a dry time for plant life. Snow can have the opposite effect of rain, depriving soil of water and packing it down. To combat this, make sure your lawn and shrubs get enough water up until the first big freeze of the year. Keeping them hydrated before the ground freezes will help them stay strong throughout the winter.

Cover Shrubs When During Extreme Weather

Covering up your shrubs and other plants during periods of freezing can be an easy way to protect them from the damage caused by biting cold. Blankets, plastic, or covers made specifically for plants can be used to lend your garden this extra protection. To ensure maximum effectiveness, cover plants completely to the ground and make sure the covers are secure. If covers are not held down, then warmth will not be sealed in, and the covers will be ineffective.

Aerate Your Lawn

Aerating your lawn before it gets too cold is another great step to keeping your lawn healthy in the winter. During warmer weather, your lawn might get a lot of foot traffic. By aerating, you allow air and water to better reach the roots of your grass, helping to counteract soil that became compacted by all that activity. When soil becomes compacted due to heavy activity, the roots of the grass stop being able to get what they need to survive, resulting in leaving you with patches of dirt and dying grass. If your lawn is suffering, make sure to aerate it before the snow hits.

Pests are always seeking out warm shelter that can keep them safe and a food source they can depend on. However, the warm, safe shelter that pests seek is often in our homes! The seasons have a high influence on pests, so the threats they pose often shift as the weather changes. To protect your home from any pest invasions this fall, it’s crucial that you’re aware of the impact fall has on the patterns and movements of pests. It’s also crucial that you take proper precautions this season. 

How Fall Impacts Pests Patterns and Movements

Pests In Need of Warm Shelter During Colder Weather

As fall approaches, the colder weather will begin to set in and temperatures will drop. This indicates that most pests and insects need to prepare for the nearing winter and seek out warm shelter. As a result, these pests and insects will be more likely to invade your home. You may start to see an increased presence of spiders, boxelder bugs, ladybugs and other insects that normally desire to stay outside. These harmless pests often stay out of sight and will stay hidden in the cracks and crevices of your house. Bees and wasps will often shelter in trees, logs or eaves of homes and ants will retreat to their nesting sites. Rodents like mice and rats will also be seeking warmth during the fall. Establishing a safe place to outlast the outside weather helps most of the insects and rodents survive the colder months. 

Prepare Your Home

Ensure that any holes, cracks, crevices or gaps in your foundation, floors, attic and garage are properly sealed to prevent pests from invading your home. You should also check the materials of your roof, because strong winds may crack shingles and siding materials. This can result in created openings for pests invasions. Managing proper home maintenance during the fall helps decrease the chances of any rodents invading your home in the winter. Regular home maintenance inspections can determine if your roofing is tightly secured in place. It also helps to keep basements, attics and crawl spaces well ventilated and dry. There are many different types of pests that are attracted to soggy crawls spaces and areas with a lot of moisture.

With summer here and the sun out, the bees are ready to be out too. Unfortunately, we’ll be spending more time outdoors as well. So, we’re likely to come into contact with a bee or two at some point, and by that we mean get stung by one. Bee stings can be painful but also generally harmless, although some situations may need medical attention. When should you seek medical attention after a bee sting?

General Bee-Sting Symptoms 

Bee stings involve venom being injected into the sting site and result in a red bruise. Sometimes the bruise will appear white, and both the pain and swelling is minor. If you’re stung by a bee you should remove the stinger and attached venom sac. Your fingernail, credit card or any other similar item should do the trick. 

Please note, it’s best that you don’t use tweezers, for they can squeeze more venom into the sting site. The symptoms from the bee sting should ease up after a couple of hours. For some people, their allergic reaction is a lot stronger to an insect’s venom. This can lead to much worse side effects, such as very large swollen bruises that can grow in size within just a 48-hour period.

Bee Sting Reactions That Require Medical Attention

If you notice your bee sting reaction becoming more severe and beginning to spread past the sting site, it’s time to visit the hospital. Some allergic reactions to bee stings can be pretty life-threatening and must get immediate medical attention. A serious bee sting allergy known as anaphylaxis occurs through:

• Weak, rapid pulse.
• Nausea.
• Lip, tongue or throat swelling.
• Dizziness.
• Vomiting.
• Fainting.
• Diarrhea. 
• Troubles with your breathing.
• A loss of consciousness.
• Skin reactions. 

Anaphylactic shock is the most severe bee sting threat. This is a life-threatening swelling of the throat and tongue, which can prevent you from breathing. It’s very crucial that you get to an emergency room immediately if in this situation with even one or two symptoms. 

Dreams of lush, springy grass may be dashed to pieces when pests turn it into an all-you-can-eat salad buffet. Read on to see what you can do to protect your lawn from some of Idaho’s garden pests.

Grubs and Beetles

Look for brown spots in your lawn this summer that don’t seem to recover even though other brown patches have after watering. Pull up on a handful of grass to see if it easily comes up, like lifting a carpet. Grubs tear through the roots that anchor them into the ground and cause the grass to lift up easily.

Do not dig up the grass; it adds a lot of extra work and makes your lawn look even more unsightly. Treat the section of your yard with some insect control and continue to water it instead. New roots will grow back into the soil in time.

Billbugs (Weevils)

Billbugs tear through the roots of your grass. As adults, they feast on your grass blades. They can quickly turn sections of healthy grass into enormous, dead, brown patches. Preemptive actions are the best when dealing with them, so an infestation will not take over your lawn.

Use insecticides to kill the adults as they start to become active in the spring. Follow with another round of insecticides to kill any growing populations of grubs before they can grow and reproduce.

Summer is well on its way and the sun is shining hotter and longer, meaning your lawn will need much more attention than usual. The heat this season can be both good and bad for your lawn. Depending on how you care for it, your lawn will either thrive this summer or completely dry out. It’s important that you help maintain its health all throughout the season. 

Here’s how to keep a healthy lawn during the hot summer months. 

Feed Your Lawn Regularly

Just like humans, your lawn needs food to maintain its health. Fertilize your lawn every six to eight weeks using a lower nitrogen content fertilizer to avoid fast-growing grass. Consider using a slow-release fertilizer to help protect the turf from getting burned while also providing a source of nutrients.

Mow High

Set your mower blade on a high setting when mowing your lawn. Avoid cutting it less than 3 to 3½ inches, and avoid cutting more than a third of its height at once. This way your lawn can remain healthy and provide more shade for the delicate root system. This results in deeper, stronger roots from the taller blades and prevents the grass from drying out quickly. 

Water Your Lawn Early 

Consider watering your lawn between 5 a.m. and 10 a.m. Watering it in the midday will cause your lawn to dry out. This is because the sun will evaporate most of the water before the grass has had time to soak it up. Watering your grass early will also help prevent any fungal diseases from developing. 

It is now the time of the year when people are enjoying the great outdoors. During this season, we see more and more plantlife bloom. While we enjoy most of these plants, there are some we wish to never see — weeds. There are over 8000 plants that are weeds. Once they appear, you have to work hard to keep them out. So, how often should you weed your lawn and flower beds?

What are Weeds?

Weeds are plants that grow where they are not wanted. For example, you may see plants growing out of sidewalks or buildings. These are weeds. There are over 8000 species of weeds all over the world. Once you see them, it is best to remove them from the area, so they do not take over. 

What do Weeds do to My Lawn or Flowerbed?

Besides looking aesthetically unpleasing, weeds are an invasive species. Therefore, if you do not tend to them, they will take over your garden or lawn. Once they take over, they can cause other plants like flowers, fruits, vegetables, shrubs and trees to die. Unkempt yards are also perfect sheltering grounds for pests like bees, mosquitoes and termites. 

How Often Should I Weed?

On average, you should weed your lawn, flowerbeds and gardens once a week. Weekly weeding can also vary depending on the climate of your environment as well as the season. In general, people pull the most weeds during spring and summer when there is more moisture and sun outside. 

How do I Weed?

Luckily, weeding your garden is not a difficult task, and anyone can do it. You can pull small weeds out with your hands. For deeper weeds, you can use a shovel or a weed whacker. If you do not want weeds to return after removing them, or there are too many in the area, you can use a commercial weed removing solution. If you do use a commercial product, follow the directions exactly. 

Bed bugs are a particularly bad infestation to have. Because they are small and stay out of sight, people often have bed bugs long before they realize it, giving the bugs plenty of time to multiply and spread around the house. 

It seems like there’s always a spike in bed bug cases in the fall, which leads many to wonder whether or not fall is the only time you have to worry about them. The short answer to that question is no, but there’s more to the story:

Hitch-Hikers

Bed bugs are most noticed in the fall because they are notorious hitchhikers. They don’t travel much on their own, and yet they’re great at getting into new homes and rooms.

Bed bugs travel with you. For example, when you go into an infested hotel room you might lay your suitcase down or spread out your clothes on the bed. Attracted by the heat and the scent of your body, bed bugs will naturally investigate, looking for food. Before you know it, they get swooped up into your luggage or the seams of your clothes and are headed back with you.

Since people tend to travel in the spring and summer, this is when the problem starts. 

Most pest control specialists agree that you should get a termite inspection once every two years to ensure that there are no signs of termites in your home. But when signs of infestation pop up, no matter how long it’s been since your last inspection, you need to enlist the help of professionals. Here is what to look out for. 

You Notice Blisters in Wood Flooring

Blisters in your hardwood flooring could be indicators that termites are feeding and nesting below the surface. Of course, if your floor is older and has experienced some water damage, it could turn out to be nothing, but it’s better to be safe than sorry. If you notice blisters in your wood floor, you should get a termite inspection right away. 

You Notice Damaged or Hollowed Wood

If you notice damage on your wood floors, furniture or other wood elements in your home, it could be from termites. It’s easy to overlook little marks on wood surfaces, but over time, termites will leave more and more damage. This is true for hollowed wood as well. Termites will chew through wood and will make their homes inside of thick pieces of wood. If you notice small holes in furniture and see that the wood is hollowed out, you should get a termite inspection right away. 

You Notice Termite Droppings

You should be aware of what termite droppings look like so if you see any, you can bring in the specialists. Generally, termite droppings look like small grains of rice and range in color from tan to brown to black. They can be easy to overlook and are easily confused with crumbs and food debris. You should always look for termite droppings near a wood, as this is a sign you should get a termite inspection.

Southeastern Idaho goes through some pretty rough winters. But, with spring weather getting ready to return, it is time everyone turns their attention to their lawns once again.

Lawns need extra attention in Idaho because of our higher altitude. Here at Pest Control Idaho we often get asked all sorts of questions about proper lawn maintenance and weed control. Read on to find out our three tips for a healthy lawn. 

Tip #1: Choose the Right Grass for the Job

First, determine what will happen on the grass. Will the grass need to stand up to children playing on it? Will there be landscaping covering large areas? 

We recommend four types of grass that can stand up to extreme weather changes:

• Fine Fescues: A hearty type of grass that can take extremely low temperatures and survive in the shade quite well. Not the greatest for highly trafficked areas. 
• Tall Fescues: A “bunch-type” of grass that grows in clumps. It prefers to grow in warmer climates such as Southern Idaho areas. 
• Kentucky Bluegrass: This type of grass is probably the most common type used in Idaho. It can easily handle cold weather but does not prefer the shade. 
• Perennial Ryegrass: Another “”bunch-type of grass that grows in clumps. The ryegrass does not prefer cold weather but is mixed with other grass seeds, acting as a booster or filler.

Tip #2: Get the Mowing Height Right

Mowing grass at the correct height is one of the most important steps you can take to maintain your lawn. We recommend keeping a grass height of anywhere between 2.5 and 3 inches. 

Your pet is an essential part of your family. When preventing pests from invading your home, your pet’s protection is just as vital as yours. However, pets are notorious for bringing unwanted critters into your home whether they know it or not. Here are some tips on how to keep your pets from bringing in pests. 

Keep Your Pets Clean

We know your dog or cat might run away in terror when you mention the word “bath time” but regular bathing is essential for their health and for keeping pests away. Luckily, cats are extremely clean and groom themselves often. Dogs, on the other hand, may need more regular cleaning. 

While bathing frequency depends on many factors, a good rule of thumb is to bathe your dog every four weeks, or once a month. Doing so is especially vital if your dog spends a lot of time outdoors or has sensitive skin. Fleas can easily hide in your dog’s fur, causing irritation for them and for you. Ask your veterinarian for dog shampoo and conditioner recommendations. 

Treat Them for Fleas and Ticks

Fleas and ticks are both nuisances that commonly hide in our pet’s fur. Fleas multiply fast and often require fumigation if left to reproduce. Ticks can carry harmful diseases like Lyme disease and can be hard to spot in your pet’s fur. To reduce their risk of bringing these pests inside, ask your veterinarian about flea and tick treatments. 

Flea and tick prevention treatments are usually applied topically or orally with a treat. While some of these treatments can be pricey, they are still cheaper than getting your house fumigated. Your pet also deserves to be comfortable and healthy. 

Most of us enjoy entertaining visitors with a variety of delicious dishes and tempting treats. There’s nothing like enticing aromas to make a home inviting to others. 

The downside of offering savory delicacies is the risk of attracting unwanted guests, including mice, rats and other rodents. Find out about the foods that may attract these dangerous pests to your property.

Proteins

Foods packed with proteins are a favorite with rodents. A natural source of protein includes meats of all kinds. Rodents aren’t picky, so they will also be glad to devour processed meat products such as hot dogs, beef jerky and bacon bits. 

Proteins come in other forms that rodents also find appealing. Pungent cheeses and crunchy nuts are quick to get these hungry invaders’ attention. One of their top choices is the mix of nuts and oils found within peanut butter.

Grains and Seeds

Rodents often balance their quest for proteins with carbohydrates found in grains. They will seek out bread, crackers and other baked goods to satisfy their voracious appetites. These creatures appreciate crusty and moldy samples as well as fresh-baked ones. Rodents also desire all types of seeds, including sunflower, flax, pumpkin and sesame seeds. 

Traveling can be difficult enough if you are driving for long distances or are taking public transportation. The journey can be tiring, and once you have reached your destination all you want to do is relax. Yet, you do not want to end up bringing a host of bed bugs back home with you! Unfortunately, hotels and motels can be filled with bed bugs, as they are carried by one traveler to another. Here are some tips to protect yourself from bedbugs as you travel. 

Inspect the Bed

Before getting into bed, pull back the covers and check for bed bugs. You will be able to see the adults, nymphs and eggs if they are there. They are commonly found at the head of the bed or along the box spring seam. Check for any dark spots or trails or any exoskeletons that are left behind. You may also choose to look underneath the mattress. Use a flashlight if necessary. 

In the Furniture

Although bed bugs are most commonly found in the bed that does not mean they can't be found anywhere else. If there are chairs or couches in the place you are staying check those too. Checking under cushions or pillows is easy and can give you the peace of mind you need to fully enjoy your travels.

How to Prevent Bed Bugs from Traveling with You

Store Luggage on Hard Surfaces

Rather than placing your clothing and other belongings on the bed, chair or couch, keep all of your valuables on the luggage rack or on another hard surface. Instead of taking your clothing out of your suitcases, keep the items stored either in your suitcase or in the bathroom, as bedbugs are unlikely to be in there. You may even desire to pack large trash bags with you that you can use to cover your luggage. Do not unpack too many of your items, as spreading them around the room gives bedbugs a greater chance to get into them. 

When You Return Home, Dry Your Clothes

Heat is used to kill bed bugs. Before doing anything else with your clothes once you return home, place them in the dryer for at least 30 minutes. You may also choose to keep any of your luggage outside of the house for a brief while as well. 

Pests are very noticeable in the spring and summer months of the year but are much more calm during the colder months. As winter approaches most people assume pests die off and simply go away. However, that is not the case. Some pests survive the cold and are still in search of food in and shelter. At Pest Control Services we can keep your home pest free year round no matter if it's cold or warm. 

Where Do Cold Weather Pests Hide as it Gets Colder? 

During the cold weather, pests activity is significantly reduced. Some pests go into diapause, a state of dormancy influenced by environmental factors. The main reason why pests go into diapause is to avoid the harsh weather and conserve energy. The Survival of pests in diapause is propelled by their stored fat, which acts as an energy source. Besides that, some pests produce an antifreeze compound, which significantly lowers their body fluids' freezing points.

Migration is another survival mechanism that pests adapt during cold weather. The inability of pests to generate heat forces them to migrate to warmer areas; hence Indoor spaces make ideal hideouts for different pests. Warmth is not the only thing that can make pests crawl into your house but also the availability of food; limited food resources often accompany the cold season. Pests may gain entry into your house through cracks, gaps under the door, crevices, and dryer vents. Pests problem is unavoidable once these creatures infiltrate your home. The onset of a cold season severely impacts pests' behavior. Most pests stay out of sight, and it is easy to assume they are dead or gone.

Unfortunately, that is usually not the case. Pests tend to seek shelter in warm habitats, resulting in an influx of pests into your home. It is crucial to maintain pest management practices during the cold season. 

Dealing with pests is just one of the many tasks of a homeowner, but everyone can benefit from a pest inspection. Any building, regardless of its use, can be the target of a pest infestation. Pest inspections are necessary for all buildings, but especially important for homes, as you and your family spend most of your time there. Here are a few quick tips from a professional pest control service to determine when to get a pest inspection.

What is a Pest Inspection?

Licensed professionals, like us, perform pest inspections to determine if there are any infestations present in a building. An inspection includes inspecting the foundations, windows, roofs and more in the home, to look for signs of infestation. Hiring a professional to do this job is vital since we are trained to find signs of different types of infestations, and we know how to remedy them. At the end of your pest inspection, you will typically receive a pest report with an update on what the inspector found and suggestions to fix the problem. 

When to Get a Pest Inspection

While regularly having a pest inspection performed is the best option, we realize it is impossible to have your home evaluated on a consistent schedule. For most people, getting a pest inspection done when you spot a potential issue is a smart idea. If you see any signs of a potential pest infestation, have a professional perform a pest inspection. 

Buying and Selling a House

One time where it’s crucial to have a pest inspection performed is when buying or selling a house. If you’re selling your home, future buyers will appreciate the ease of mind that you can provide when you have your house professionally inspected for pests. The state of Idaho does not legally require pest inspections before the selling of a house, but it is considered “discretionary”, so err on the side of caution and have one performed.

As a buyer, you will definitely appreciate a full pest inspection before you sign on the dotted line. It will assure you that you are not walking into a house with a pest infestation.
