Pest Control in Sandpoint, Idaho
Sandpoint and the Lake Pend Oreille country are the far end of our routes, and we are glad to make the drive. Lakefront homes, older houses in town, cabins in the trees and vacation rentals all have the same thing in common: moisture, forest and a long winter, which is to say carpenter ants, wasps, mice and the occasional bed bug call from a rental. Property Shield has served Sandpoint, Ponderay, Kootenai, Dover and Sagle since 2016.
Or call 208-889-9222. Monday to Friday 9 to 5, emergency call-outs available.
The pests we treat most in Sandpoint
- Carpenter ants. the lake country’s signature pest: damp wood, big trees and cabins. We find the nest, not just the trail.
- Mice and rats. in early, in September, and in for the winter. Cabins and seasonal homes are especially exposed.
- Wasps, hornets and yellowjackets. heavy every summer in the trees, eaves and docks; bald-faced hornet nests are common.
- Spiders. hobo and giant house spiders in basements, crawl spaces and boathouses.
- Bed bugs. vacation rentals and seasonal housing; every room treated at $150 a room, done in one trip.
- Cluster flies and boxelder bugs. in attics and on sunny walls of older homes in fall, inside in spring.
- Wildlife and pocket gophers. raccoons, skunks and squirrels removed legally and humanely, gopher mounds treated; see Wildlife Control.
The full list of 21 covered pests, and what is quoted separately, is on our Pricing page.
Plans and prices for Sandpoint homes
Most families here do best on the Quarterly plan: four visits a year at $150 each (about $50 a month), covering wasps, mice and rats, spiders and cobwebs and the rest of the list at no extra charge. Tri-Annual ($195 per visit) is the budget plan; Bi-Monthly ($165) is for homes that want the barrier refreshed every other month or prefer our essential-oil products, which cost more and last about four to six weeks, so they need the more frequent visit; Monthly ($119) is our most thorough plan and the lowest price per visit. All of them are on the Pricing page. Every plan has a $0 sign-up fee; your first visit costs the same as every visit. Not sure? Try us once at the Quarterly price, no plan required.
The Property Shield Promise: if a covered pest comes back between visits, so do we — NO charge. Our service terms explain how return visits work.
What a visit looks like
- We listen. You tell us what you have seen and where.
- Inspection. We walk the outside and the trouble spots inside, looking for entry points and what is drawing the pests in.
- Treatment. Exterior barrier and entry points, nests and webs knocked down where we can reach them, rodent stations where needed, inside as needed (we would rather stop pests outside before they ever get in). Products chosen with families and pets in mind and applied by the label.
- A plain report. What we found, what we did, what to watch for and what to fix. You also get the details by email.
