How Does Our Rathdrum Pest Control Service Work?
Bi-monthly Service
Our most popular pest control service is our bi-monthly plan, proudly serving Rathdrum. This plan is designed to tackle common Northwest pests, including ants, spiders, wasps, mice, and more.
Here’s how it works:
1. Initial Treatment
After we schedule a time that works best for you, we’ll perform an initial pest treatment. Depending on the specific pest issues you’re facing, the treatment may vary slightly, but typically includes:
– Sweeping eaves, windows, and doors to remove spider webs.
– Treating your foundation to eliminate active pests and establish a protective barrier around your home.
2. Protective Barrier
Our pest professional will apply a liquid insecticide to create a barrier around your home—treating your eaves, windows, doors, and the entire foundation (3 feet up and 3 feet out). We’ll also ask to enter your home to treat baseboards inside and create a full protective barrier. (inside is always optional) This prevents pests from entering your home and keeps your property protected.
3. Mice Control
If you opt for mice control, we’ll set up child and pet proof bait stations around your property to stop mice before they can infest your home.
4. Ongoing Protection
Your next service is exactly 2 months later, and you can count on us to arrive on time and keep your home pest-free. We never miss a service!
5. If Pest Come Back, So Do We!
If in between service dates a pest issue arises, a pest professional will come back free of charge to take care of it.
Our bi-monthly service plan is the best way to stay ahead of pests year-round in Rathdrum!
One-time Service
Sometimes, to best serve our community, offering one-time services is the best thing to do. These are the five most popular one-time solutions
1. Ant Elimination
Oftentimes complete ant control requires a pest control professional. Pest Pros use products with a transferable effect. This means that when ants come into contact with the product, they’ll spread it to others they encounter, eventually affecting the whole colony. This process typically involves a treatment of baseboards inside the home and around the entire homes’ foundation.
2. Spider Spray
When spraying for spiders you want to use a product formulated as a controlled release insecticide. This keeps the strength of the products higher for a longer period of time, allowing for spiders to make their way out of hiding, walking over the product and dying. The spider spray process typically consists of removal of webs around the home from top to bottom and insecticide sprays on eaves, around windows, and the foundation.
3. Wasp Removal
Although fairly straightforward, wasp removal can be very dangerous. Depending on size and location of the nest, treatment usually consists of a kill on spot insecticide spray or residual spray. Followed by knocking down the nest, bagging it up, and hauling it away. Last but not least, treatment of areas conducive to wasp to keep any new one from reestablishing.
4. Mice Protection
Typically mice control will consist of setting up child and pet proof bait stations around your home to stop the mice from entering. Followed by baiting the crawlspace to get any mice that have already moved inside. Follow-up services occur every 2 weeks to refresh the bait until the mice have been eliminated. (Typically 6-8 weeks.)
5. Bed Bug Treatments
Bed bugs are the nastiest and hardest pests to get rid of. Treatment of bed bugs typically consists of liquid insecticide sprays in areas conducive to bed bug hiding. (Mattresses, Box Springs, Baseboards, Couches, Etc.) Bed bug services take 2-3 treatments spaced 30 days apart. This allows enough time for bed bugs to come out of hiding and die.
Common Pests In Rathdrum, Idaho
Ant control In Rathdrum
The ants go marching one by one…
Ants are one of the most common reasons people call a pest control company and that’s no exception in Rathdrum. That’s because they are some of the hardest pests to get rid of. Ants have many unique characteristics and abilities that make it nearly impossible to eliminate them yourself. That being said, Spud Pest has the knowledge and equipment to eliminate the entire colony!
Spider control In Rathdrum
Few things cause nightmares like these
We’ve said it once and we’ll say it again, spiders are some of the creepiest pests out there. There are a ton of species here in Rathdrum, including the infamous black widow! Spiders’ ability to go unnoticed and then come out in bunches is very impressive. Luckily Spud Pest Control has no problem eliminating them for good!
Wasp Control/ Removal In Rathdrum
Stinging things that rule your eaves
Being parents ourselves, it’s one of the worst feelings to have your child run in from outside screaming, because they were stung by a yellow jacket. We all know how bad the wasps in Rathdrum can get, especially after the pollination season has ended. Spud Pest Control can treat areas conducive to wasp nests to keep them from forming. Making the chances your child gets stung drastically less.
Mouse control In Rathdrum
Strange things you don’t want inside
Did you know that mice can squeeze through a ¼ inch hole? Making them very hard to keep out of your home. That’s why many pest control professionals and Spud Pest Control utilize rodent bait stations to keep mice out of your Rathdrum home.
Bed Bug Control In Rathdrum
Don’t let the bed bugs bite…
A phrase that we all heard when we were little but didn’t think twice about. Then you grow up and realize the little pests are actually real and more common than you think. Even in Rathdrum! Living solely on human blood they are a parasite to people. Hard to get rid of yourself, but easy for Spud Pest Control.
Why Is Spud Pest Control Worth the Investment?

What Your Neighbors Are Saying About Spud Pest
Customer Success Story From A Rathdrum Local
Home Destroyers!
One of the most destructive pests here in Rathdrum is the carpenter ant. They can destroy a house by excavating wood from the structure of your home.
Common Misconception:
Carpenter ants don’t actually eat wood; they just remove it to build nests and galleries for the colony.
Problem:
One morning we got a call from a customer in Rathdrum saying that they saw sawdust coming out of the wall by their front door. (a telltale sign for potential carpenter ant activity) Upon arrival at the customer’s home, we also noticed more sawdust (frass) on the outside of their house piled up on the ground. Sure enough right there were large black carpenter ants, chewing their way into the studs of the home. The customer had tried some over-the-counter ant sprays, but the activity never stopped. This is how Spud Pest’s pest control pros eliminated them.
Solution:
While treating ants a transferable insecticide must be used to achieve 100% control of the colony. Using a pest professional liquid insecticide we treated the areas where signs of carpenter ant activity were noticed. We also treated around the entire foundation, windows, and doors. Plus, we made our way into the crawlspace to treat more areas that had been damaged by carpenter ants. (this was such a tight space even for a pest control professional!)
Results:
After about 3 weeks the product was able to transfer to the entire colony, eliminating every destructive ant. This is the review the homeowner left us after service:
These guys are so kind and so great! Very thorough and they actually care! They don’t just spray poison and leave. 10/10!!!!

Though Rathdrum’s upsides drastically outweigh its downsides, it still has a few. One is the constant pressure from pests. Some of the most common pests are: Spiders, Ants, Wasps, Mice, and even Bed Bugs! In Rathdrum, we get all four seasons, which means the need for Pest Control Service is never-ending. During the spring is when the ant season hits its peak. Ants are some of the hardest pests for homeowners to get rid of. To control ants long-term, we use products with a transferable effect. Unlike typical over-the-counter ant killers, these products don’t kill ants instantly. Instead, ants pick up the product and spread it throughout the colony, ensuring complete eradication. Many times a call to a pest control professional is the easiest and fastest way to get rid of ants for good. Spring leads us into summer where wasps wreak havoc on people’s parties and BBQs. Sometimes nests in Rathdrum can get so large that they hold 1000’s of wasps or hornets. Removal of these massive nests can be dangerous and sometimes requires a pest professional. Especially if you are allergic! Summer fades us into fall where spiders rear their ugly heads, coming out of the woodworks by the hundreds! If you’re lucky you won’t see the infamous Black Widow. The Black Widow is one of the most poisonous spiders we have in Rathdrum. The good thing is, if you have regular pest control service keeping spiders at bay you definitely won’t come across one. As the colder weather approaches and we seek the warmth of our homes, so do the mice! In Rathdrum, it’s not a matter of IF you get mice, it’s WHEN. As pest control professionals we use rodent bait stations (a safe way to use mice bait without a risk of exposing kids or pets to it) and rodenticides to ensure that your house doesn’t become their home!
