Why South Star's Growing Community Needs Professional Pest Control
South Star represents one of the Treasure Valley's most active growth areas, with new subdivisions continually expanding south of Highway 44 toward Meridian. This rapid development disturbs pest populations that have lived in agricultural fields for generations, driving them into newly built homes. New construction has gaps around utilities, unsealed foundations, and disturbed soil that pests exploit. Established South Star homes also face ongoing pressure as surrounding farmland converts to development.
- New construction disturbs established pest populations
- Utility penetrations create entry points in new homes
- Displaced field pests seek shelter in nearby houses
- Agricultural conversion increases rodent activity
- Both new and established homes benefit from protection

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does pest control cost in South Star?
South Star pest control starts at $49 for your initial comprehensive treatment, then $119 per quarter for ongoing protection. This covers the thorough treatment needed in Star's growing neighborhoods, including sealing common entry points found in newer construction. New homeowners and established residents alike benefit from this affordable protection.
Why does my new South Star home already have pests?
New construction actually attracts pests rather than repelling them. When builders grade land and pour foundations, they disturb rodent burrows, ant colonies, and spider habitats. These displaced pests seek the nearest shelter - often your new home. Construction gaps around utility lines, unsealed foundation joints, and fresh landscaping create perfect entry points and habitats.
Should I get pest control for my new build immediately?
Yes, we recommend establishing pest control within the first months of occupancy. Starting treatment early prevents pest populations from establishing in your new home. Initial service addresses construction-phase invaders and creates barriers before pests become entrenched. Many South Star builders actually recommend pest control during the warranty period.
Do you seal the entry points around utilities?
Yes, identifying and sealing common entry points is part of our service. We pay special attention to gaps around electrical panels, plumbing penetrations, dryer vents, and HVAC lines - all common entry points in new construction. While we can address accessible gaps, some sealing may require coordination with your builder during the warranty period.
What about pests from the construction sites nearby?
Ongoing construction near established South Star homes creates continuous pest pressure. As each new phase disturbs more farmland, pests migrate toward existing homes. Regular quarterly service maintains defensive barriers that protect your home from these displaced pests. This is why South Star homes often benefit from year-round pest control programs.
How quickly can you treat my new South Star home?
We provide service throughout South Star typically within 24-48 hours for routine appointments. For urgent situations like wasp nests or rodent sightings, we offer same-day emergency service. We're familiar with South Star's new developments and can navigate to your home efficiently. Call (208) 297-7947 to schedule.
What's included in the quarterly service?
Our $119 quarterly service includes complete interior and exterior treatment, foundation perimeter barrier, entry point identification, web and nest removal, and monitoring for rodents. We treat for all common South Star pests including ants, spiders, wasps, and mice. Free re-service is included if pests return between visits.
Do you work with home builders in South Star?
Yes, we work with several builders in the South Star area and understand new construction pest issues. Whether your builder recommends us or you find us independently, we're experienced with the specific pest challenges of new Star developments. We can coordinate timing with your move-in or final walkthrough if helpful.
