SERVICES · IDAHO-LICENSED APPLICATOR · BOISE + MERIDIAN + NAMPA + EAGLE
Six services. One licensed technician at your door.
Boise Bug Bombers covers six pest categories across the Treasure Valley: general quarterly pest control, ant control, spider control, wasp and yellowjacket removal, bed bug treatment, and rodent control for both mice and voles. Every appointment is run by Hillard McMorris personally, an Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA)-licensed Idaho applicator (#96328), using USDA-approved products that are kid- and pet-safe once dry. We don’t carry termite or mosquito services because both are mismatched to Idaho’s pest reality.

The six service pages below are the work Boise Bug Bombers actually runs every week across Boise, Meridian, Nampa, and Eagle. Each links to a dedicated page with species detail, pricing tables, and city-specific pages for the four Treasure Valley cities we cover.
General pest control
Quarterly perimeter and interior treatment for the eight pests that actually show up in Treasure Valley homes: ants, spiders, wasps, earwigs, silverfish, boxelder bugs, sowbugs, and miller moths. $40–$80 per quarterly visit. Free retreats between visits.
General pest controlAnt control
Carpenter ants are the Idaho ones to worry about. They tunnel into framing. We trace the trail to the colony entry point instead of just spraying what you see. Includes pavement ants, odorous house ants, and confirmed carpenter ant treatment.
Ant controlSpider control
Black widow. Hobo spider. Yellow sac spider. The three Idaho homeowners actually search for. We treat the harborage points where they breed, not just the rooms where you see them.
Spider controlWasp, hornet & yellowjacket removal
Active nests gone in one visit. Same-week appointments. Long-reach equipment so your roofline doesn’t become someone’s home-improvement project. Paper wasps, yellowjackets in voids, bald-faced hornets. All three species, all treated correctly.
Wasp removalBed bug treatment
Heat treatment for confirmed infestations. Chemical for early-stage. 14-day follow-up included in every job, not as an upsell. Inspection-first protocol; you find out the scope before you commit to the cost.
Bed bug treatmentRodent control
Mice in the house, voles in the lawn. Different problems, different fixes. Inspection-first identification; exclusion work quoted separately so the rodent-treatment price stays predictable.
Rodent controlWhat we don’t carry (and why)
Boise Bug Bombers does not sell termite treatment or residential mosquito spraying. Termites are extremely rare in Idaho’s dry climate. Most “termite damage” reports in the Treasure Valley turn out to be carpenter ants near a moisture source, which is on the ant control page. Residential mosquito spraying is mismatched to Idaho’s pest reality because Ada County Mosquito Abatement District runs the public program at scale; spending money on supplemental private spraying rarely changes the outcome for a typical homeowner.
We’d rather tell you that on this page than upsell you on a service that doesn’t fit the local pest pressure. If you’re seeing what you think is termite damage, the carpenter ant page is where to start.

Frequently Asked Questions
What pest control services does Boise Bug Bombers offer?
Boise Bug Bombers offers six pest control services across the Treasure Valley: general quarterly pest control, ant control including confirmed carpenter ant treatment, spider control for black widow, hobo, and yellow sac species, wasp and yellowjacket removal, bed bug treatment via heat or chemical, and rodent control for both mice in the structure and voles in the lawn. Every service is run by an Idaho State Department of Agriculture (ISDA)-licensed Idaho applicator.
Does Boise Bug Bombers do termite treatment?
No. Boise Bug Bombers does not sell termite treatment because termites are extremely rare in Idaho’s dry climate. Most “termite damage” reports in the Treasure Valley turn out to be carpenter ant damage near a moisture source, which is handled under ant control. If you’re seeing damage you think is termites, the carpenter ant page is the right starting point.
Does Boise Bug Bombers do mosquito spraying?
No. Boise Bug Bombers does not sell residential mosquito spraying because Ada County Mosquito Abatement District runs the public program at scale, and supplemental private spraying rarely changes the outcome for a typical homeowner. We’d rather tell you that than upsell you on a service that doesn’t match Idaho’s pest reality.
How quickly can Boise Bug Bombers schedule a service?
Same-week scheduling is the norm across Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Eagle, Kuna, and Caldwell. Call (208) 918-2597 during business hours and Hillard McMorris answers personally; for active wasp nests on doorways, black widow in occupied bedrooms, or hornet inside a wall, same-day or first-thing-next-morning response is usually available.
How much does pest control cost in Boise?
General quarterly pest control runs $40–$80 per visit depending on home size and pest pressure, billed after each appointment with no contract lock-in. One-time treatments range from $150 to $350 depending on the pest. Bed bug treatment and rodent exclusion are quoted after inspection. Phone quotes match the on-truck quote — no surprise charges.
Are Boise Bug Bombers’ products safe for kids and pets?
Yes. We use USDA-approved products that are safe for kids and pets once dry (typically within an hour). Every product is applied per its EPA-registered label by an ISDA-licensed applicator (#96328). Notify us before treatment of any allergies, sensitivities, pregnancy, infants, pets, or aquatic life on the property.
Which cities does Boise Bug Bombers cover?
Boise Bug Bombers serves seven Treasure Valley cities from a single shop in Boise: Boise, Meridian, Eagle, Kuna, and Star in Ada County, plus Nampa and Caldwell in Canyon County. Garden City and Middleton are case-by-case — call (208) 918-2597 to confirm coverage in 30 seconds.
What’s the difference between quarterly and one-time pest control?
Quarterly service is four visits per year ($40–$80 each) with free re-treats between scheduled visits if pests come back. One-time treatments are for confirmed infestations or single incidents (wasp nest, bed bug outbreak, rodent exclusion). Quarterly is the right call for prevention and ongoing protection; one-time is for an acute problem you want solved without committing to a plan.
