Pest Control in Rathdrum, Idaho
Rathdrum is home. Property Shield is based here, and we have treated homes, shops and acreage on the Rathdrum Prairie, in town and up toward Twin Lakes and Spirit Lake since 2016. Prairie homes get prairie pests: field mice and voles the first cold week, ants in sandy soil, and wasps on every outbuilding.
Or call 208-889-9222. Monday to Friday 9 to 5, emergency call-outs available.
The pests we treat most in Rathdrum
- Mice and voles. the Prairie’s first problem. New homes on former farmland get mice in the garage the first fall. We seal what we can and station the rest.
- Ants. pavement ants and odorous house ants in the sandy Prairie soil; carpenter ants in older homes and in cabins toward Twin Lakes.
- Wasps and yellowjackets. shops, barns, play sets and eaves from June on; bald-faced hornets in the trees.
- Spiders. hobo and wolf spiders in garages, window wells and woodpiles.
- Bed bugs. every room treated at $150 a room, and you will not wait for us to drive across the county.
- Boxelder bugs. on sunny walls near boxelder and maple trees in September.
The full list of about 30 covered pests is on our Pests page.
Plans and prices for Rathdrum 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), Bi-Monthly with essential oils ($165) and Monthly for businesses ($119) 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.
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, rodent stations where needed, inside only where there is a reason to. 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.

Questions from Rathdrum customers
Do I need to be home?
Not for exterior visits, as long as we can reach the yard. For inside treatment, someone over 18 lets us in.
Is it safe for kids and pets?
We pick products and placements with them in mind, follow every label and tell you anything you need to do, such as keeping pets off a treated area until it is dry. Ask about our essential-oil plan.
