What Does Pest Control Cover in Boise? What's Included (And What We Don't Treat)

A Green Guard pest control plan in Boise covers ants, spiders, wasps, yellow jackets, earwigs, crickets, silverfish, box elder bugs and mice inside the house. Those are the pests that get into most Treasure Valley homes. Every visit treats the outside of your home first, and we treat inside on request.

That's the short answer. The longer answer is where people get surprised, because every company draws its lines a little differently.

So here's ours, one question at a time. What we treat, what costs extra, where our technicians don't go, and what we hand off to a trusted specialist. If you'd rather hear it from a person, call (208) 297-7947. You reach a local team, not a call center.

Each Green Guard visit is a full exterior treatment plus inside work when you ask for it. Our technicians spray a barrier around the foundation, knock down webs and nests, and treat the spots pests use to get in. Here's what that looks like on a typical Boise home.

Yes, mice inside your home are covered by a Green Guard plan. We use locked bait stations and plug obvious gaps with copper mesh. Snap traps come out rarely. Rodents living outside the house are a different story.

Here's how the lines fall.

Mice inside the home: covered by your plan. Fall is busy season for mice in the Treasure Valley. We logged 15 calls and online requests where the pest was recorded as rodents in Oct 2026.

Voles and rodents living outside: a separate service with separate pricing. Voles chew lawns and garden roots, not your pantry, so they need a different approach. Our vole guide explains the damage.

Gophers and squirrels (ground or tree): we don't treat them. Call us and we'll point you to a trusted specialist. Our gopher guide covers what to look for.

One more thing. We don't clean up droppings, and we don't do exclusion or sealing work beyond copper mesh in obvious gaps. Sealing small cracks yourself is still a great move. See our rodent control page for the full approach.

No. Green Guard technicians don't look in or treat attics, don't crawl into crawl spaces, and don't check wall voids. For mice, we can place a bait station at the crawl space entrance. That puts bait right where rodents travel, without a tech squeezing under your floor.

We'd rather tell you that up front than have you expect an attic inspection that isn't coming.

If you hear scratching in the attic or smell something in a wall, call us anyway. We'll talk through what's likely going on. If it needs a specialist, we'll say so and point you to a trusted one.

Green Guard doesn't treat termites, bed bugs, gophers, squirrels or other wildlife. For any of these, call (208) 297-7947 and we'll point you to a trusted specialist. A few other jobs sit outside the plan too, and it's worth knowing them before you book.

Mosquitoes, fleas and ticks are covered by a separate seasonal add-on, the Lawn & Mosquito Program. It's a monthly yard treatment from May through October, priced by yard size, starting at $69 a month for smaller lots.

Your regular pest plan treats the house. The add-on treats the yard, where mosquitoes rest in shrubs and ticks wait in tall grass.

Green Guard commercial accounts get regular treatment plus application records for every visit. Those records show what was applied, where and when. We don't provide a written pest management plan or a device or bait station map.

Commercial roach jobs are a yes. A technician assesses and quotes them first. Restaurant kitchens often need more frequent visits than a quarterly plan, and we'll talk that through when we quote.

A Green Guard plan starts with a $49 first service, then quarterly visits from $119^* a visit, priced by home size. Bimonthly plans cost less per visit. A one-time service is also available and comes with a one-month warranty. Paying the year up front gets a discount.
