FAQ

  • Wasp Control

    • Are wasps dangerous?
      Wasps can certainly be dangerous. Not only are there many species of wasp that are highly aggressive and will swarm and sting repeatedly in defense of their nests. Wasp venom is also a very common cause of anaphylactic shock and can pose a mortal danger to anyone with an allergy to bee and wasp stings.
    • How do I know I have wasps?
      Wasps are not like many other pests. They will make no effort to hide from you. If you have a wasp nest on your property, you may see the nest itself. Even if you don't see a paper nest, you will notice a significant uptick in the number of individual wasps you see. If you see them coming out of holes in the ground or hollows in trees, their nests are likely nearby.
    • What do I do if I have a wasp infestation?
      If you realize you have a wasp infestation, never attempt wasp nest removal on your own. The danger of setting off an attack is too great. Just call the experts here at Pristine Green Pest Defense. We can put a stop to wasps without endangering your family or pets in the process.

  • Spider Control

    • Are spiders dangerous?
      Most spiders in the United States are harmless. It's true that all types of spiders are venomous, but most spider species do not have venom that is potent enough to cause any real harm. The exceptions to this rule in the United States are the black widow and the brown recluse. Each of these spider species has medically significant venom, meaning it is potent enough to require medical attention.
    • Why is my house full of spiders?

      The main reason why your house is suddenly full of spiders is usually that you have another infestation that is attracting them. Common household infestations that draw spiders in include: 

      • Cockroaches

      • Flies

      • Moths

      • Silverfish

      • Ants

      If you are suddenly seeing a lot of spiders in your home, it is a good bet one of these or other species is to blame.

  • Ant Control

    • Are ants dangerous?
      Certain ant species can be very dangerous. For instance, carpenter ants are incredibly dangerous to your property. These big, strong ants tunnel through wood to build their nests, just like termites do. And, just like termites, they can do serious and costly damage to the wood of your home. Pharaoh ants are another dangerous species in Idaho because of the diseases they spread, such as salmonella and streptococcus.
    • Why do I keep finding ants in my home?

      Most of the time, you find ants in your home because you attract them unintentionally. To avoid this, follow ant prevention tips like:

      • Keep all your garbage covered.

      • Store pantry foods in airtight containers. 

      • Fix moisture problems like leaks and poor drainage. 

      • Clean frequently to pick up crumbs that could attract ants.

      • Seal potential entryways in your home's exterior.

      Following these tips can help you avoid inadvertently drawing ants into your home.

    • What can I do about ants?
      To prevent ants, you should eliminate as many attractants as you can. However, the best way to eliminate an ant infestation that has already found its way into your home is to call professional ant control services.
