Beetles Be Gone

Beetles often live under bark, mulch, rocks and other debris. They feed on plants, fungi or scavenge for food and some enter your property.

Commonly found in garages or basements, keeping your home’s surroundings clear of debris and maintaining landscaping helps deter beetles.

Sealing doors and windows is essential, and regular perimeter treatments provide the best defense against beetle infestations.

Clover Mites

Clover mites invade homes in large numbers, especially in spring. They crawl on walls, floors, and furniture, leaving red stains if crushed.

These tiny, oval-shaped arachnids feed on vegetation and often enter through sun-warmed walls, especially on the south and southwest sides.

Regular perimeter treatments help control and prevent infestations.

Earwigs

Earwigs are common pests in the Treasure Valley. Easily recognized by their pincers, but they DON'T crawl into people’s ears. (That's only on Star Trek)

They thrive in moist areas like mulch beds, gardens, under rocks, logs, and leaf litter. Woodpiles, compost heaps, and foundation cracks also provide shelter.

Earwigs can damage seedlings, flowers, and soft fruits, making them a nuisance for gardeners and farmers.

They often enter homes through small openings in dry conditions or colder weather.

Fleas

Fleas often infest homes with infected pets in Meridian. These tiny pests, less than an eighth of an inch, survive by feeding on blood and laying eggs that hatch 20-50 fleas within days.

Fleas can transfer to humans. They also thrive in pet bedding, carpets, and upholstery.

Professional pet treatments and safe pest control for infested areas are essential to eliminating fleas.

Springtails

Springtails seek moisture and often gather in bathrooms, kitchens, and around garden faucets. They are drawn to damp soil and pooled water.

During hot, dry weather, they move indoors, hiding in potted plants and humid spaces.

Infestations increase when warm, dry spells follow extended wet conditions. Reducing moisture helps prevent them.

Silverfish

Silverfish are common pests in Idaho. While they don’t bite or sting, they can be a nuisance and cause damage to homes.

Silverfish chew through paper, clothing, upholstery, and stored food. They also eat glue from wallpaper, book bindings, carpets, and furniture coverings, leaving holes, etchings, and yellow stains.

Silverfish leave droppings in food containers, making food unsafe to eat.

In some people, silverfish can trigger allergies.
