Stop invasive elm seed bugs from swarming your windows, patio doors, and finding their way into your eaves. Complete year round protection begins at $49 a month following an initial $99 setup.
What's Included
Spud Pest eliminates local elm seed bugs by targeting active breeding trees and stopping massive summer window invasions. Hot summer temperatures, mature elm trees, and dry river valleys drive heavy populations across Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho, drawing thousands of bugs directly to window frames, door weather stripping, and exterior siding. Our protection plans establish a strong exterior perimeter that knocks down active swarms, seals entry routes, and keeps living spaces bug free year round.
Every plan covers complete property inspections, high reach window frame treatments, micro encapsulated foundation barriers, and doorway applications. You get complete defense against invasive elm seed bugs, backed by full warranty protection and unlimited free re-treatments whenever pests return between regular service visits.
How it works
Every visit follows a simple, proven process to knock down active swarms, secure window entry points, and keep bugs out of your home:
Detailed Property Inspection
We inspect nearby elm trees, window tracks, door weather stripping, and exterior siding for active clusters and entry gaps.
Targeted Window and Siding Barrier
We apply specialized micro encapsulated treatments directly to window frames, screen channels, and soffits to stop bugs before they breach interior seals.
Foundation and Threshold Protection
We treat lower foundation walls, garage thresholds, and patio door frames to block ground crawling migration routes.
Keep Them Away
We return on a regular seasonal schedule to replenish protective barriers before summer heat triggers new swarms, maintaining continuous protection year round.
We’ll text you when your technician is on the way, so you always know we’re coming.

Extreme summer heat causes elm seeds to dry out, forcing millions of bugs off elm trees to search for cool shelter. As temperatures climb in July and August, bugs follow cool air leaking through window seals and door sweeps, leading to massive indoor invasions.
Elm seed bugs are extremely flat and slender, allowing them to squeeze through tiny gaps that stop other insects. They easily crawl through window weep holes, loose screen seals, garage weather stripping, and tiny cracks around exterior window trim.
No, elm seed bugs do not bite, sting, eat wood, or feed on household fabrics. However, they emit a powerful bitter almond odor when crushed or panic, which can leave lingering smells and faint stains on curtains and window blinds.
Yes, our products are applied specifically along exterior window frames, foundation walls, and door seals away from high traffic family areas. Once the liquid applications dry completely (typically within 30 to 60 minutes), children and pets can safely return to using the yard and outdoor patio spaces.
