Why Harris Ranch Properties Face Unique Pest Challenges
Harris Ranch is Boise's flagship master-planned community, featuring beautifully designed new homes along the Boise River near Barber Park. While newer construction might suggest fewer pest problems, Harris Ranch actually faces significant pest pressure from multiple sources. The community was built on former agricultural land, disturbing established ant colonies and rodent populations that now seek refuge in homes. The Boise River corridor running through Harris Ranch creates moisture-rich conditions supporting robust spider and insect populations. The community's interconnected green spaces, while beautiful, also provide pathways for pests to move throughout the neighborhood. Construction staging and the ongoing building of new phases continually disturbs soil and pushes pests toward completed homes.
- Former agricultural land means disturbed ant colonies seeking new territory in homes
- Boise River corridor provides moisture and habitat for spiders and insects
- Ongoing construction disturbs pest populations, driving them to completed homes
- Green space network connects the entire community, allowing pest movement
Local Expertise
We understand Harris Ranch's unique pest challenges
Common Pests in Harris Ranch
Our local experts know how to identify and eliminate these pests quickly
Pavement Ants
Extremely common throughout Harris Ranch. New construction and disturbed soil push these ants toward freshly completed homes, where they nest under driveways, patios, and foundation edges.
Hobo Spiders
Harris Ranch's manicured landscaping and river proximity create ideal hobo spider habitat. These ground-dwelling spiders build funnel webs in gardens and often enter homes through garage doors.
Voles
Harris Ranch's extensive lawns and green spaces are perfect for voles, which tunnel just below the surface, destroying grass and landscaping. They sometimes enter garages and storage areas.
Paper Wasps
New construction with fresh paint and clean surfaces attracts paper wasps seeking nest sites. Harris Ranch's covered patios, playground structures, and eaves are favorite nesting locations.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does pest control cost in Harris Ranch?
Harris Ranch pest control starts at $49 for your initial service, then $119 per quarter for year-round protection. This covers the ants, spiders, wasps, and occasional voles that affect Harris Ranch homes—whether your home is brand new or one of the earlier phases. We don't offer free inspections; our $49 first visit includes thorough professional inspection plus complete treatment. New construction often requires attention to settling gaps and construction-related entry points that older homes don't have. Our satisfaction guarantee means free re-service if pests return between quarterly treatments.
Why do brand new Harris Ranch homes have so many ants?
New construction in Harris Ranch—and throughout Boise—disturbs ant colonies that have lived in the soil for years. Rather than simply dying off, these colonies relocate and often end up under your new driveway, patio, or foundation. The construction process also brings fresh wood and materials that certain ants find attractive. Additionally, the loose, disturbed soil around new homes makes tunneling easy for ants establishing new colonies. Within 1-2 years of construction, the ant pressure in new subdivisions often exceeds that in established neighborhoods. Our treatment targets active colonies while creating barriers to protect your home.
Is there a warranty when builder pest control ends in Harris Ranch?
Most builders provide limited pest control coverage that expires after a year or two. When that coverage ends, many Harris Ranch homeowners experience a surge in pest sightings as the residual protection fades. Our quarterly service provides continuous protection with a satisfaction guarantee—if covered pests appear between treatments, we return at no additional charge. Unlike one-time builder treatments, our ongoing service adapts to seasonal pest pressure and emerging issues. We recommend starting service a month before your builder warranty expires to ensure no gap in protection.
