Why College Area Properties Need Professional Pest Control
The College of Idaho campus and surrounding neighborhood represent one of Caldwell's most historic and desirable areas. Established in 1891, the area features tree-lined streets, mature landscaping, and homes spanning more than a century of architectural styles. This age and character comes with pest control challenges. Historic homes have settling foundations, original wood framing, and generations of modifications that create entry points. The mature elms, maples, and oaks shade homes beautifully but drop debris that attracts pests. Student housing and rental properties throughout the area require consistent pest management to prevent infestations from spreading between units. The campus grounds provide habitat that supports pest populations in the surrounding neighborhood.
- Century-old homes have numerous pest entry points and vulnerabilities
- Mature campus landscaping supports significant pest populations
- Multi-unit student housing requires coordinated pest management
- Historic basements and crawl spaces attract moisture pests

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does pest control cost near the College of Idaho?
Our College of Idaho area pest control starts at $49 for initial treatment and $119 quarterly. This pricing works well for both single-family homes and individual apartments in the area. Property managers and landlords can inquire about multi-unit pricing for student housing properties.
Do you service student rental properties?
Yes, we provide pest control for student rentals and multi-unit properties throughout the college neighborhood. We work with both tenants and property managers. Coordinated treatment of entire buildings provides better results than treating individual units in isolation.
Can you treat historic homes without damaging them?
Absolutely. We're experienced with Caldwell's historic properties and use careful application methods appropriate for older construction. We identify and treat entry points without damaging original architectural features. Our technicians understand the unique character of college-area homes.
What about carpenter ants in older homes?
Carpenter ants are a significant concern in the college neighborhood's mature trees and older wooden structures. We identify active colonies, treat gallery systems, and apply preventive barriers. Unlike termites, carpenter ants don't eat wood but excavate it for nesting, so early detection and treatment prevents structural damage.
How do you handle boxelder bug invasions?
Boxelder bugs are extremely common in the college area due to the abundant boxelder and maple trees. We provide fall treatments that create barriers preventing them from entering homes to overwinter. Spring treatment addresses emerging populations before they become problematic.
Do you offer services for the College of Idaho campus itself?
We provide commercial pest control services suitable for institutional properties. Contact us for information about campus building treatment, dormitory pest management, or dining facility pest control. We understand the scheduling and documentation requirements of institutional clients.
