As the crisp autumn air sweeps across the Treasure Valley, it’s not just humans seeking cozy warmth—rodents, spiders, and overwintering insects are on the move, searching for shelter in your home. That’s why fall pest control in Boise is so important. At Boise Pest Pros, we’re dedicated to helping homeowners stay ahead of these seasonal invaders.
Rodents: The Sneaky Fall Intruders
Common Culprits
-
Deer Mice – Small, agile, and able to squeeze through tiny openings.
-
Norway Rats – Larger and more aggressive, often drawn to water sources and trash.
-
House Mice – Seek warmth and food, making them common indoor pests.
Why They’re Coming Inside
As temperatures drop, rodents search for shelter, food, and water indoors. They can chew through insulation, damage wiring, and contaminate food, leaving droppings that can spread bacteria.
Prevention Tips
-
Seal cracks and gaps around doors, windows, and foundations.
-
Store food in airtight containers.
-
Keep attics, basements, and garages clutter-free to eliminate hiding spots.

Spiders: Fall’s Unwanted Guests
Common Species in Boise
-
Hobo Spiders – Fast and large, often appearing in attics and basements.
-
Jumping Spiders – Small but agile, often in overgrown vegetation.
-
Black Widows – Venomous spiders preferring dark, undisturbed areas.
Why They’re Active Now
Spiders are more noticeable in fall as they search for mates and cozy indoor shelter. Warm homes offer ideal conditions for them to thrive.
Prevention Tips
-
Keep windows and doors sealed.
-
Regularly clean corners, basements, and attics.
-
Use spider repellents near entry points.
These spiders are looking for a warm spot—time to send them packing this fall!
Overwintering Insects: Tiny Invaders, Big Problems
Common Fall Invaders
-
Boxelder Bugs – Often cluster in large numbers on sunny sides of homes.
-
Lady Beetles – Seek warmth indoors, sometimes forming large groups.
-
Cluster Flies – Enter homes to hibernate, potentially leaving behind stains and odors.
Why They’re Entering
These insects are seeking warm places to survive the winter. Once inside, they can be difficult to remove and may cause minor damage or discomfort.
Prevention Tips
-
Seal cracks around windows, doors, and utility pipes.
-
Use screens on vents and chimneys.
-
Remove food sources and clean up spills promptly.
Fall in the Treasure Valley means a cozy home… for you, not boxelder bugs!
