Dealing with a pest issue?

We can help!
Termites

Termites

Subterranean termites are common in Idaho and can often be identified by the mud tunnels they build. One clear sign of them is the mud paths they make on home foundations. It’s wise to call Beeline Pest Control to check your house before you even see these signs. Termites can be hard to see, so our experts at Beeline Pest Control first find out where they are coming from and how much damage they’ve done. This can be tough, making it important for homeowners to get help as soon as they think they may have termites.

Bed Bugs

Many insects can trouble Idaho homeowners, but bed bugs are among the trickiest to get rid of. There was a time when bed bugs were nearly wiped out in the United States, thanks to effective pesticides. However, changes in pesticide regulations have led to their comeback. Nowadays, it’s not unusual for homeowners in Idaho to encounter these pests and suffer their irritating bites during sleep.

roof rat

Rats & Mice

In Idaho, homeowners and businesses often come across two main species of rats: the Norway rat and the Roof rat. It’s important to understand the differences between them and why they pose a threat. 

Rats are warm-blooded mammals and are notably prolific breeders. As the cooler weather sets in, they begin their search for warmer, cozy shelters. Idaho hosts various species of rats, all eager to ruin your food, water, shelter, and any accessible resources. They are opportunistic dwellers, making it essential to be informed and cautious about their presence, ensuring a safe and sanitary living environment.

Garden Spider

Spiders

Call us to inspect your property right away if spiders are plaguing your home. We can provide a detailed breakdown of the spiders’ hideouts, the danger involved, the cost of treatment, and how long it will take our team to get rid of them. You might be unaware of the risks some spiders pose, but don’t wait for a venomous bite or a serious infestation before you reach out to us. Call Beeline in advance to stop the issue from escalating and to keep your home safe.

cockroach

Cockroaches

Cockroaches can reproduce quickly, meaning if you see one, there are likely many more hiding in your home’s walls and floors that you can’t see. They usually move around at night, so seeing them during the day is worrisome. This might suggest that there isn’t enough room for all of them, and they are searching for new hideouts, signaling a severe infestation in your home. Some people might not know this, but certain types of cockroaches help the environment by breaking down decaying organic material. However, some species are harmful to us because they carry diseases and should be removed from our homes immediately.

Wasp

Wasps and Bees

When you discover a nest bigger than your fist, it means it’s time to bring in the pest control experts. We provide pest control services for both businesses and homes. Avoid risking your family’s safety by trying to deal with these troublesome pests alone. Beeline Pest Control assists customers promptly and professionally.

Here in Idaho, the common Paper Wasp is quite prevalent. It’s not unusual for almost every home in Idaho to host at least one nest, with some homes harboring between 5 to 25 nests.

Ant bridge

Ants

Ants are tiny and usually can be as small as a few millimeters or as large as several centimeters. They have long antennae and a slim middle. You can find ants just about everywhere, including here in Idaho. They usually make their homes in the soil, often underground. Generally, ants won’t attack unless they feel threatened, but some, like the red fire ant, can be harmful, especially to those who are allergic to their bite. Managing them can be challenging because they tend to move to new areas when members of their group start to die off.

Mosquitoes

We get it, you just want to relax and enjoy your outdoor space in peace, but mosquitoes can quickly ruin that. We’re here to help lower the number of mosquitoes around your home so you can enjoy those perfect summer evenings. At Beeline, we understand the annoyance and discomfort of having mosquitoes swarming around your yard, forcing you and your loved ones inside instead of savoring the nice weather. Controlling mosquitoes is crucial in ensuring the safety and comfort of your family. Mosquitoes don’t just cause itchy bites; they can also carry and transmit dangerous diseases like West Nile virus and other illnesses.

Earwigs

In Idaho, many people encounter a unique kind of earwig, known as the European earwig, commonly seen in local yards. You can spot these earwigs by their large, pincer-like parts on their rear, known as cerci, used for defense and mating, delivering just a light pinch to people. Earwigs have long, flat bodies with a red-brown shade and range from a quarter to one and a half inches in length. Adult earwigs have short, tough wings covering a pair of softer, folded wings beneath. They aren’t strong fliers, preferring to crawl mostly.

Moth thumb

Moths

There are thousands of species of moths. However, there are only a few that you’ll usually encounter in Idaho households. There are two different kinds of moths that we often see in Idaho areas: moths in closets, or moths in the pantry. The pantry-dweller is known as the Indian mealmoth, also called a grain moth, weevil moth, or pantry moth.
Moths are attracted to natural fibers, like wool or silk. Closet moths like dark, undisturbed places and are very secretive. If you do catch a glimpse of these moths, you’ll notice that they’re buff-colored, and usually 2-5 cm in length.
