Know Your Enemy: General Pest Control Facts

What starts as a single spider or a few ants can quickly become a full infestation. Without professional protection, you're constantly reacting to problems instead of preventing them. After 10+ years treating Treasure Valley homes, we see this pattern every spring.

Our quarterly pest control program keeps pests in check, and if they come back between visits, so do we, free. We've protected 2,500+ families across the Treasure Valley since opening.

Identification

Our general pest control targets all common Treasure Valley invaders: ants (carpenter, pavement, odorous house), spiders (including black widows and hobo spiders), crickets, earwigs, beetles, silverfish, boxelder bugs, stink bugs, centipedes, and occasional invaders like pill bugs and ground beetles.

Behavior & Habits

Idaho's four distinct seasons create waves of pest activity. Spring brings emerging ants and spiders. Summer sees peak activity from all insects. Fall drives pests indoors seeking warmth. Winter keeps rodents and overwintering insects active in heated homes.

Health & Property Risks

Common household pests cause various problems: contaminated food (ants, beetles), painful bites (spiders), property damage (carpenter ants, rodents), allergic reactions (cockroach debris, dust mites), and disease transmission (rodents, flies).

Warning Signs You Have an Infestation

  • Seeing live insects or spiders inside regularly
  • Finding droppings in cabinets or along baseboards
  • Spider webs accumulating faster than you can remove them
  • Unexplained bites or skin irritation
  • Scratching sounds in walls (especially at night)
  • Damaged food packaging in your pantry
Our Process

How We Solve Your Pest Problem

  1. Step one

    Thorough Inspection

    We thoroughly inspect your entire property, inside and out, to spot current pest activity, entry points, and conditions that attract pests.

  2. Step two

    Targeted Treatment

    Using hospital-grade, organic-based products, we treat your home's perimeter, interior cracks and crevices, and targeted hot spots to wipe out existing pests.

  3. Step three

    Quarterly Protection

    We return every quarter to maintain your protection barrier, address seasonal pest pressures, and keep your home pest-free year-round.

Still Have Questions?

Our pest control experts are here to help, whether you're on a quarterly Boise pest control plan or calling for the first time.

Call (208) 297-7947

What pests does general pest control cover?

Quick answerOur general pest control covers ants, spiders, crickets, earwigs, beetles, silverfish, centipedes, boxelder bugs, stink bugs, and most common Treasure Valley household invaders.

Mice and rats inside the home and wasp nests are covered too. Voles and rodents living outside are usually a separate charge. Bed bugs and termites are the exception: for those pests we recommend calling a specialist.

How often do you treat?

Quick answerOur standard program includes quarterly treatments (every 3 months).

That's the best frequency for year-round protection against Idaho's four seasonal pest waves. For tougher pressure, we also offer bimonthly service at $99/visit for homes up to 2,500 sq ft.

What does quarterly pest control cost in Boise?

Quick answerYour initial service is just $49 to get started.

Quarterly plans then run $119/visit for homes up to 2,500 sq ft, $139 for 2,501 to 4,000 sq ft, and $159 for 4,001 to 5,500 sq ft. Subscription plans include a 1-year service agreement with our free re-service guarantee. As of October 2026, these are still the same transparent prices we've quoted all year.

Also askedHow much does the first pest control service cost in Boise?

Green Guard's initial service is $49 flat for subscription customers, regardless of home size. It includes a full property inspection plus exterior perimeter treatment and interior service on request, with no hidden fees. The first visit runs a little longer than your quarterly follow-ups, which start 90 days later at $119, $139, or $159 based on home size.

Do I need to be home during treatment?

Quick answerOur technicians can treat exterior areas without you present, and that's where most of the work happens.

For interior treatments, you can leave a key or garage code, or we can schedule when you're home. Most treatments wrap up in 30 to 45 minutes, and your technician will tell you how long to keep people and pets off treated areas.

Also askedDo I need to leave the house during pest control treatment?

No. You can stay home during and after your first pest control service. Our organic-based, hospital-grade products are safe for kids and pets once dry, which takes about 30 to 60 minutes. Just keep small children and pets off treated areas until they are dry.

What if I see pests between treatments?

Quick answerCall us at (208) 297-7947.

Your plan includes free re-service between quarterly visits. If pests return, we return, at no additional cost. That's the real advantage of ongoing service over one-time treatments.

Also askedWhat if pests come back after treatment?

Call (208) 297-7947 and we come back free. Our re-service guarantee covers any return activity between your scheduled quarterly or bimonthly visits. Heavy ant pressure or stubborn spider populations sometimes need a follow-up hit, and subscription customers never pay extra for a callback.

Is pest control safe for my dog?

Quick answerYes.

Green Guard uses organic-based products that are safe for dogs once the treated area is dry (30 to 60 minutes). Move food and water bowls before we arrive, and crate the dog or keep them in a back room during the visit. After surfaces dry, your dog can go anywhere in the yard and house normally. Our guide to pest control safety for kids and pets has the details.

How soon will I see results after my first pest control service?

Quick answerMost pests are knocked down within 24 to 48 hours.

You may see a brief uptick in activity during days 3 to 7 as bugs get flushed from hiding spots, which is normal. Full results land between days 7 and 14, with residual product working through the next 90 days.

How do I prep for my first pest control service?

Quick answerPrep is minimal.

Clear a few baseboards where you want interior work, move pet bowls off the floor, and move bikes and hoses away from the foundation so we can spray a clean barrier. Secure pets and be home (or leave a gate code) so we can access interior areas if you want them treated. No need to empty cabinets.

Can I get a same-day pest control appointment in Boise?

Quick answerOften, yes.

We can frequently get a technician to your Boise, Meridian, or Eagle home that same day, and we usually get out within 24 to 48 hours.
