Spring is Almost Here!

Snow, snow, go away!

It won’t technically be spring for a couple more weeks, but let’s face it, Mother Nature doesn’t care about the weather!

That’s why our preventative pest services don’t run on an arbitrary calendar schedule. Sure, that’s convenient for the company, but what about the customer? We kick off our first round of service when nature dictates. With temperatures reaching sixty degrees or more this week, the bugs have been plenty active – and so have we!

Why wait for bugs to become a problem this year? Get ahead with the only double exterior treatment in town! Call or text us today at 208-298-9171.

It’s time for The Apocalypse!

We Know Every Dollar Counts Right Now

We’re doing what we can to offer relief to small businesses struggling to support their employees and their families right now.

Feed Pets, Not Pests

We set a pet food bowl outside for at night to see what would happen, and a mouse found it the first evening!

One of the most important phrases in pest control consists of two words: “conducive conditions.” A conducive condition is like a welcome mat for pests. For rodents, offering food outside both attracts and sustains them, allowing populations to build up and encouraging them to eventually seek shelter in your home.

What if you have animals that you must feed outside? You can do a few things to avoid turning your home into a haven for mice:

  • feed your animals no larger a portion every day than your veterinarian recommends so no food remains
  • bring food bowls inside at night
  • use tall bowls, and grease the exterior with petroleum jelly (mice will be unable to climb in)
  • use dispensing feeders that can be closed at night
  • keep stored food in tightly sealed bins

We’re Seeing Lots of Mice in Lewiston and Clarkston This Year

Mice are coming indoors in high numbers this fall in Clarkston, Washington and Lewiston, Idaho.

mouse

It’s autumn! Falling leaves, cool rains, chilly nights . . . and plenty of mice looking for a warm place to spend the winter!

We had an unusually wet spring this year. Prolonged rains lead to excessive vegetation, which provides mice cover from predators and abundant food. Mice eat the seed, fruit, and insects that abound in all the greenery.

This brings us to a fall season with an unusual number of mice. Winter kills more mice than just about everything else combined; when temperatures drop, mice begin aggressively seeking warmer shelter.

We can help! Follow us on Facebook for this year’s winter pest exclusion tips, or call us for a rodent eviction service. We’ll inspect your home for entry points, set rapid-catch traps to target the indoor population, and make four follow-up visits over the course of a month to ensure all the mice are gone.

We’re offering $50 off our rodent eviction service this fall – just mention coupon code NOMOREMICE2020 when you call, text, or email for an appointment. Contact us today!

Mad about Mice?

Temperatures are falling along with the seasonal rain, and mice are looking for better places to spend the winter. If they’ve already found your home, we can help!

Our rodent cleanout series is designed to identify entry points you can eliminate to prevent future unwanted guests, as well as trapping and removing the ones that are already inside your home over a series of visits.

This fall, we’re even offering $50 off of our rodent cleanout series! Just mention coupon code NoMoreMice2020.

Best Pest Control for Spiders in Lewiston, Clarkston, and Asotin?

Have you wondered why spiders are so numerous in August, when you didn’t seem to see very many earlier in the year?

It isn’t your imagination. There are a few reasons this is the case:

They started out smaller, so were less noticeable.

Spiders take time to grow; at one point, they were tiny, mite-sized hatchlings that could fit on the head of a pin. Awww, are babies just the cutest?

Predators emerge later when prey is more plentiful.

Ever notice how you never see a praying mantis until late in the summer, then it seems they’re all over the place? It would be a disaster for them if they emerged too early in the spring, because there would be so little food. Insect populations build as the season wears on, and predators begin hatching (like our praying mantis friend) or start producing more young to take advantage of the food supply (like those paper wasps all over your south-facing eaves).

It’s so darn hot, and our chores get neglected.

Spiders need undisturbed areas to build their webs and stay put. Think about it: would you keep rebuilding if something kept knocking your house down? Of course not! Mowing, weed-pulling, irrigation, and other general maintenance make it tough for spiders to maintain their webs. Clutter, weeds, and dense growth all make great harborage areas for spiders. These areas tend to build up in late summer, because – darn it anyway – it’s hot, and we’re all tired!

We’re in the Lewis-Clark Valley, along two rivers.

This is the biggie – water sources breed all kinds of gnats, a naturally abundant food source near rivers. You’ve seen those scrubby trees, boulders, and even homes upriver that look like a scene from a horror movie this time of year, right? Sometimes, spider webs blanket every inch of the ground the second you get a foot away from the water. It isn’t just the fish that thrive on flying insects. Spiders love them!

What is the best pest control for spiders?

Maintaining your property is a huge help; remove clutter, mow that grass, and make sure your home and shrubs get washed off regularly so they aren’t a welcome mat for spiders looking for a summer home.

Speaking of maintenance, be sure to check the seals around your windows, your door sweeps, and the sides of your attached garage doors for gaps.

Get rid of spider food sources (other insects) as well as the young spiders by spraying early and often. Starting earlier is better, but it’s never too late to make a dramatic dent in their population. Folks down by the river might need a visit once a month to keep the numbers in check, while others can enjoy the peace of mind that comes from a basic four-times-a-season preventative plan. Some people prefer to call when things start getting just a too little out of hand to conquer with the stuff from your local hardware store. No matter your need, we’re here for you with flexible plans, hyper-local recommendations for the best results, and best of all, no contracts! You decide what is best for your budget and your home. Change your mind anytime. Really!

Call, text, or email us today for a free quote – and be sure to ask why our double exterior spray is twice as effective as anything our competition offers (just don’t ask them, no need to embarrass anyone!) 😁

Preventative Plan

Our preventative plan was developed after more than twenty years of local experience.

Other companies schedule their visits every ninety days, spaced apart from when you sign up. We get it; that’s convenient for them, and it generates steady cash flow. But it also means they show up in the winter, and that you are more likely to have pest problems between visits. We solved that problem by designing a schedule that gets ahead of your pest problems with applications timed to our local climate. We start warming up around mid-March, and cooling off in October – so our applications are staggered across our active season once every sixty days or so.

Even better, we make a double-exterior application on every visit for the best results. And if you have a problem between visits with a perimeter pest, we’re there for you with our free trouble calls – inside, outside, both – wherever we need to focus to get your pests back under control.

Visits start at $99 for homes under 3,000 square feet in our daily service area. On a budget? No problem! Just choose your own schedule. You can stop, start, or change your visit times and frequency whenever you like. No fees, no fuss, no kidding.

Want to learn more? Estimates are free! Schedule an appointment with a friendly service technician: just call or text us at 208-298-9171.
