Pest Control in Idaho

Idaho's dry climate and rangeland shape a pest profile that looks different from most of the country, most notably through periodic Mormon cricket outbreaks: large migrating swarms of a flightless, ground dwelling insect that periodically move through southern Idaho's sagebrush country in numbers heavy enough to spill into towns and yards along the way. University of Idaho Extension has studied these population cycles for decades, alongside more routine pressures like carpenter ants, which are drawn to the moist wood common in the state's forested mountain regions, and the rodents, mainly deer mice and voles, that push into homes and outbuildings as the state's long, cold winters set in. Because Idaho's terrain ranges from high desert valleys to mountain forest within fairly short distances, the pests a homeowner deals with can shift quite a bit depending on elevation and proximity to open rangeland versus wooded ground. That variation makes local knowledge especially useful for identifying what's actually causing a problem and how to handle it.
