Boise Bug Bombers, LLC is a small local Idaho-licensed pest control company founded by Hillard McMorris and operated from 1650 N Hilton St in Boise’s Winstead Park neighborhood. The company serves Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Eagle, and the surrounding Treasure Valley with quarterly pest service, species-specific infestation treatment, and a 5.0-star Google rating built across 42 reviews in its first eight months of public review history.
Hillard McMorris runs Boise Bug Bombers out of an unassuming shop on N Hilton Street, six minutes from anywhere in the city he’s lived in long enough to know which neighborhoods get boxelder bugs in October and which ones get voles in March.
He’ll be the first person to tell you that pest control is a strange line of work, you’re invited into someone’s home specifically to deliver bad news to whatever’s living rent-free in their crawl space. He’s an ISDA-licensed Idaho applicator (#96328), and the guy who personally answers the phone at (208) 918-2597, but mostly he’s the reason Boise Bug Bombers exists: someone had to take this job seriously without taking themselves seriously.
The result is a small local team, Hillard plus two technicians, with 42 five-star reviews, USDA-approved products that are kid-and-pet-safe once dry, and a tagline he refuses to retire: bringing peace and happiness by spreading death and destruction… to your pests. He stands by it. So do the people in the reviews.

A first call to Boise Bug Bombers takes about five minutes on the phone and produces a same-week appointment. Hillard does the inspection himself, identifies which pests are actually in the home (not the generic “general pest control” template), and writes a treatment plan that explicitly names what gets sprayed, where, and with which USDA-approved product. Pricing is quoted upfront. There is no upsell pass.
Most pest control companies in the Treasure Valley send a subcontractor or a rotating crew. Boise Bug Bombers sends Hillard. That’s not a sales pitch, it’s a structural choice. A small local team has different incentives than a franchise. The technician at the door is the same person who quoted the price, signed the warranty, and will answer the phone if something gets worse in the second week.
The service shape is straightforward:
- Inspection. Hillard walks the perimeter, the entry points, the crawl space if there is one, the attic if access exists. He photographs harborage points (the places pests breed, not just the ones you see).
- Identification. Treasure Valley homeowners get told they have “ants” or “spiders” generically. Hillard names the species, carpenter ants vs sugar ants, black widows vs hobo spiders vs yellow sac, because the treatment plan changes per species.
- Treatment. USDA-approved products applied where the species actually nests. Kid- and pet-safe once dry (typically 30-60 minutes per treated surface). Treatment plan written in plain language and emailed.
- Follow-up. Quarterly plans include free retreats between scheduled sprays if anything returns. One-time treatments include a 14-day check-in (for bed bugs, which need a second pass to break the lifecycle).
- The warranty. 100% satisfaction. If the problem isn’t gone after the included retreats, Hillard makes it right.
Kids and pets shouldn’t have to leave the house for a quarterly service. That’s why every product on the truck is USDA-approved and kid- and pet-safe once dry. It’s the reason Kirsten Aura wrote, in her Google review: “Their products are not harmful to pets or kiddos once dry which was essential as I have a toy box bugs had taken over.”
Pricing should be the same when you call as when the truck shows up. Quarterly service for a single-family home in Boise runs $40-$80 per visit; one-time treatments run $150-$350 depending on the pest. No surprise charges, no commission-driven upsells, no fine print.
Your treatment is handled by our ISDA-licensed team: Hillard, Jordan, and Bradley. Hillard leads the team. If something goes wrong, you’re not routed to a call center. You call (208) 918-2597 and Hillard picks up.
