Keep Earwigs Out of Your Home – Safely & Effectively
Earwigs may look intimidating with their pincer-like forceps, but the real problem is their tendency to invade kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and gardens.

Professional Earwig Control in Boise & the Treasure Valley
Keep Your Home and Garden Earwig-Free Year-Round
Earwigs are easily recognized by their pincer-like forceps, but it’s their tendency to invade homes and gardens that causes the real trouble. While earwigs don’t spread disease or pose serious health threats, they can damage plants, contaminate food, and create unsettling infestations when they migrate indoors in search of moisture and shelter. In Boise and throughout the Treasure Valley, earwigs are especially active during wet or humid periods, making prevention and professional control important.
At Wild West Pest Control, we provide specialized earwig control services designed to eliminate active infestations and prevent them from returning. Founded by two lifelong friends committed to honest, reliable service, we treat every home and business as if it were our own—with safe, effective treatments and long-term prevention strategies.
Why Earwig Control Matters
Stop Indoor Infestations Earwigs often invade kitchens, bathrooms, basements, and garages where moisture is present. We locate and treat their hiding spots while sealing entry points to prevent future invasions.
Protect Your Garden & Landscape Earwigs feed on plants, flowers, and vegetables, sometimes causing extensive damage. Our treatments help protect your landscape and outdoor living areas.
Prevent Contamination Though not dangerous, earwigs can crawl into pantries or storage areas, contaminating food or household items. Our control methods help maintain a clean, safe home.
Seasonal Prevention Earwigs often migrate indoors during seasonal changes. We focus on long-term solutions so you won’t have to deal with recurring infestations every year.

Common Pests We Eliminate
Ants
Spiders
Mice and Rats
Wasps
Cockroaches
Mosquitoes
Other Insects
Ant Control
Ants are more than just annoying—they’re relentless. From tiny pavement ants trailing into your pantry to carpenter ants damaging your home’s structure, each type brings its own challenges. At Wild West, we start by identifying the species and locating the nest (because killing the ants you see doesn’t solve the root problem). Then, we use pet-safe, family-friendly products to eliminate the colony at its source. We finish with sealing up entry points and offering prevention tips to keep them out for good. Ants might be persistent—but we’re more stubborn.
Spiders are common across the Boise area, especially as temperatures rise in spring and summer. While most are harmless, some species—like the black widow—can pose health risks. Our spider control service starts with a full inspection, including identifying nesting sites and removing visible webs. We then treat both inside and outside your home to target spider hotspots and reduce other insect populations that attract them. We’ll even help seal up entry points to prevent future invasions. With Wild West, you’re not just removing spiders—you’re reclaiming your space.
Rodents like mice and rats aren’t just a nuisance—they’re a hazard. They chew wires, contaminate food, damage insulation, and spread disease. Boise homes, especially those near open land or farmland, are particularly vulnerable. We take a comprehensive approach: identifying entry points, setting effective traps and bait stations, and performing exclusion work to rodent-proof your home. Our technicians also educate you on keeping rodents out for good. We don’t just control the problem—we make sure it doesn’t come back.
Boise summers often bring an uptick in wasp activity, especially around attics, decks, and under eaves. Wasps can be territorial and aggressive, posing a real risk to your family and pets. When you call Wild West, we act fast. We locate the nest, safely remove it using protective gear and proven techniques, and treat surrounding areas to prevent re-nesting. We’ll also advise you on reducing attractants like sugary drinks and standing water. Our goal? Make your yard a safe place to relax again.
Cockroaches are survivors—and if you’re seeing them during the day, it likely means a large infestation. Boise homes and businesses can see a variety of roach species, especially around kitchens, bathrooms, and basements. Our team inspects, identifies, and targets cockroach hotspots with a mix of bait, dust, and residual treatments. We’ll also help you seal entry points and eliminate moisture or food sources that keep roaches coming back. With Wild West, you’re not just treating the symptoms—you’re wiping out the root of the problem.
Boise’s warm seasons and nearby water sources make for ideal mosquito breeding grounds. These pests are more than irritating—they can carry diseases like West Nile Virus. Our mosquito control service targets both adults and larvae. We inspect your yard for breeding sites, apply barrier sprays, and use larvicides where needed. We’ll also guide you on reducing standing water and plant cover. The result? Fewer bites, safer outdoor time, and a more enjoyable summer.
From silverfish and centipedes to earwigs, pantry moths, and boxelder bugs—Boise has no shortage of creepy crawlies. We’re equipped to handle them all. Our approach is always tailored: we identify the pest, treat it with safe, effective solutions, and provide you with easy-to-follow prevention steps. Whether it flies, crawls, stings, or chews—if it doesn’t belong in your home, we’ll get rid of it. No mystery bugs, no surprise charges—just honest, thorough pest control.
The best on every level! Getting rid of pests, expertise to come into the house and figure out what creepy crawler needs tackled, coming back when others show up (for no additional charge), customer service when we need to change dates, friendliness across all levels. Truly an amazing company to be… apart of. Many other companies have tried to undercut and steal my business, but we are Team Wild West for life for how amazing they have been across the board!
So grateful we found Wild West Pest Control. Mike the owner and his wife are honest, professional and always so kind. They stand by their work and always do everything to make us happy. Wyatt does our service and he is always great to work with. Highly recommend Wild West. Great Price and Great Service!
We started noticing black widows around our house. Wild West was quick to respond and get us on their schedule. Their treatment is effective and works fast. Highly recommend!
Great service from Wild West Pest Control! They were professional, reliable, and did a fantastic job. The whole process was easy and hassle-free. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for dependable pest control service!
We’ve used Wild West for about 3 years and are very happy customers. We see no bugs inside our home and very few outside. We had a wasp problem this summer and they were right on it!
Highly recommend!
The service technician was very nice and professional. He throughly complete the service, quick and easy. I had a couple questions he addressed quickly. I would highly recommend to coworkers, friends and family.
Wild West Pest Control has been a wonderful company to work with. They are always timely and their techs are thorough in treating whatever pest issues may arise. Mike Slagle and his entire team have always been very responsive to any question or request. Highly recommend this service company.
I am very impressed with Wild West Pet Control. It started right away with their receptionist. Heidi heard what I needed, explained the services available, didn't try and oversell me on services I didn't need and scheduled me right away. Scott came out, addressed my rodent problem, explained what he… found and what he did to fix it. He also gave me a great suggestion on how I could repair a problem with my garage door weather stripping that garage door repair people I had called in the past never mentioned. I was really wowed by these people; straight forward, skilled, knowledgeable, helpful and NICE!!!! I recommend Wild West Pest Control 200 % (no that's not a typo).
Wild West Pest Control technicians are always on time, professional, and thorough. We don't have to be home for the treatment but if we are, they always knock, introduce themselves, ask if there are points of concern, then explain completely what they will target that day. I highly recommend Mike… and his team for any and all your pest control needs.
Wild West Pest Control is truly one of the finest companies I’ve ever worked with. They are honest, hard-working, and genuinely care about the people they serve. That same integrity shows up in every member of their staff. Any time I’ve ever had a need or a question, they have been quick to respond,… accommodating, and very pleasant to work with.
They consistently go out of their way to make sure their customers receive exceptional service, and I enjoy the results of those efforts by having a pest-free home year-round. It’s rare to find a company that is this dependable, ethical, and committed to doing things with such high standards. I highly recommend Wild West Pest Control - great people, great company, and truly outstanding service!
We’ve been using Wild West Pest Control for about two years, and their customer service has always been great. They’re friendly, professional, and very quick to respond whenever we need help.
However, we still deal with pests returning not long after treatments, which has been frustrating. We do… live in Kuna and I’ve never used another Pest Control company to compare so I’m not sure if this is normal. I was also disappointed about the clover mite issue—we paid a lot extra for treatment that was supposed to get rid of them, but they never went away, and later we learned they typically can’t be fully eliminated during that time of year.
Overall, they’re wonderful to work with, I wish the results were more consistent.
Thanks Scott! Great communication and appreciated the photos. Thanks for addressing our rodent issue, ick! Excellent customer service, thorough and professional.
The team at Wild West Pest Control has been amazing. Mike, Heidi and the team have been professional & kind. We have had some “unusual” rodent activity and they were able to respond quickly.
I highly recommend them
I recently used this pest control service for nest removal and was thoroughly impressed! Their team was professional, efficient, and very knowledgeable. What truly stood out was their same-day turnaround — they responded quickly to my request and had everything under control before the day was over.… I highly recommend them to anyone needing fast and reliable pest control and nest removal solutions!
Get's the job done on time and schedules with advance notice so we can protect the dogs. They've made interim visits when we find a hot spot like pavement ants and come quickly. Notifies us upon arrival if we are home. Covers the whole home - front, back, sides. I have had zero concerns or… issues after working with them a few years. Recommended for sure.
Wild West is great. Can’t recommend them enough! They are incredibly thorough and reliable. They have made a huge difference to my property. I used to have tiny, little spiders that would cover my house in webs. They are completely gone. I have far less wasps, yellow jackets and ants as cc well. No… more creepers in my house too. They even put out traps for the whistle pigs that keep trying to make my yard their home. It’s so much better than it was. Their communication, scheduling and billing are also extremely convenient. Big thumbs up from me.
Been great for us, I have been on with them for over a year, and if they come out and I see something else pop up afterwards. They always come out and help right away. Great people to work with! Its amazing how many pests they have been able to handle.
We started using Wild West Pest Control this summer and are very pleased with their service. We had several wasp nests that they eradicated. They also took care of spiders, chinch bugs and a lot of other unwanted pests for us. Would highly recommend!
Awesome company! They are thorough and very professional. We’ve been using them for three years now. Wyatt, one of our techs, is very knowledgeable and always nice about accommodating us in any way possible. They don’t disappoint!
Wild West is a top-notch company. We’ve been using them for a couple of years and never have a problem with anything. They stay totally on top of things and I would highly recommend their services.
Scott and then entire Wild West team have gone above and beyond on multiple instances for me. As someone who resides in a 125 year old home, there are special pest challenges that go along with the charm. Scott and team have eliminated an ant colony deep in the walls of the house and most recently… are coming to my rescue with what appears to be a spider nest. They are a 5 for sure with excellent customer service and knowledge and expertise unmatched. You will not be disappointed in their service ! Highly recommended!
The service men are polite and communicate but I want to recognize the gal in the office, Heidi. Heidi is pleasant and easy to get questions answered. She is on top of scheduling and follow through. She calls to make sure you are aware of visits and if she says she will call you at a later date for… some reason, you can be sure you will get that call..
Wyatt, is a very professional, knowledgeable, and personalble young man, was treated with utmost respect, appreciated that very much, very helpful. Thank you Bunches, plan on being a customer for a very long time ❣️
Scott was friendly, knowledgeable and very professional. His honesty was appreciated and refreshing. I understand the situation much more fully. Although they were unable to help with our current problem I will be contacting them for our future needs and feel confident in recommending Wild West to… others. We now have Wild West Pest Control serving our home on a regular basis. Wyatt our technician was friendly, knowledgeable and did a great job. We've use a few pest control services and this is the best by far.
Nice staff and good communications. Great to know if you have an issue they will be out to help at no charge. Fortunately we have not had any issues and the quarterly service has served us well.
Most people would give a 5 so don't go by my 4! They always address my concerns and anytime I message they respond promptly. My only issue is that I am deathly and I mean deathly afraid of spiders and we still have quite large ones in the patio and front porch. I think idaho spiders are bionic or… something! Even with that I would 100% recommend them! They also clean all the webs and Nats away, adressed the wasps promptly and even have a service for flys (extra cost) but might be worth trying.
I have been using wild west for a while now and am very pleased with the services that they provide. Besides taking care of the bugs and spiders, we had some mice a while back and they took care of that with no extra charge. They even fixed a crawl space vent that had a gap where rodents could get… through. Great company!
Scott was professional and thorough today, explaining the process and products used to my husband and me both. We have used this company since moving to Idaho 1 1/2 years ago. I'm so glad Wild West came to our door when we first moved here! I can't recommend them enough.
Getting great reliable pest control should be easy!
