Why Boulder Heights Properties Face Unique Pest Challenges
Boulder Heights is an established residential neighborhood in northwest Boise, featuring homes built primarily in the 1970s through 1990s on larger lots with mature landscaping. This family-oriented neighborhood sits in the transition zone between urban Boise and the foothills beyond, creating a mix of suburban and wildlife-adjacent pest pressures. The neighborhood's mature trees and established gardens have created stable pest populations over decades. Irrigation infrastructure, common in northwest Boise developments of this era, maintains moisture conditions that support insect populations through dry summer months. The varied lot sizes and mix of construction ages mean pest vulnerabilities differ throughout the neighborhood. Boulder Heights' position near State Street's commercial corridor also brings urban pests like mice that thrive near restaurants and retail establishments.
- Mature landscaping supports established ant, spider, and wasp populations
- Irrigation infrastructure maintains moisture attracting insects year-round
- 1970s-90s construction has aging weatherstripping and foundation settling
- Proximity to State Street commercial corridor brings urban pest pressure

Common Pests in Boulder Heights
Our local experts know how to identify and eliminate these pests quickly
Odorous House Ants
Boulder Heights' mature gardens and established colonies make odorous house ants extremely common. These small brown ants form supercolonies with multiple queens, making them difficult to eliminate without professional treatment.
Hobo Spiders
Ground-dwelling spiders that thrive in Boulder Heights' landscaping. They build funnel webs at ground level in gardens and often enter homes through garage doors in late summer seeking mates.
House Mice
Common in Boulder Heights, especially in homes near the State Street corridor. Aging construction provides entry points while nearby commercial establishments support healthy mouse populations.
Paper Wasps
Boulder Heights' covered patios, mature pergolas, and eaves provide abundant nesting sites. Wasp activity increases near fruit trees and outdoor dining areas common in this family neighborhood.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does pest control cost in Boulder Heights?
Boulder Heights pest control costs $49 for your initial service, then $119 per quarter for year-round protection. This covers the ants, spiders, mice, and wasps common throughout the neighborhood. We don't provide free inspections—our $49 first visit is complete professional treatment including thorough inspection and initial application. Boulder Heights homes from all eras, whether 1970s originals or 1990s builds, receive comprehensive coverage. Our 1-year agreement includes satisfaction guarantee with complimentary re-service if covered pests return between quarterly visits.
Why are ants such a problem in Boulder Heights?
Boulder Heights' decades of established landscaping means ant colonies have had generations to grow and interconnect throughout the neighborhood. Odorous house ants are particularly problematic because they form supercolonies with multiple queens, making them extremely difficult to eliminate. When one colony is treated, ants from connected satellite colonies simply recolonize the area. Our treatment approach addresses this by creating barriers and targeting multiple colony sites, but quarterly service is essential in Boulder Heights to maintain suppression of these persistent ants.
Our 1980s Boulder Heights home seems to have more pests than newer homes—is that normal?
Yes, homes from the 1970s-90s typically have more pest entry points than newer construction. Over time, caulking around windows and doors dries out and fails, weatherstripping compresses and gaps, and foundations settle creating small cracks. Utility penetrations around original plumbing and electrical often weren't sealed to modern standards. The good news is that these issues are addressable. Our service includes identifying and treating active entry points, and we'll recommend sealing work for gaps beyond our treatment scope. Many Boulder Heights homeowners find that a combination of professional pest control and basic exclusion work dramatically reduces indoor pest sightings.
