Garden City sits along the Boise River and the Waterfront District—great for live music… and also great for pests that thrive near water, landscaping, and older crawlspaces.
Garden City pest control is provided by our Boise location. Learn more about our Boise pest control office—the team that schedules and services Garden City routes every week.

These are the issues we see constantly in Garden City (especially near the river corridor, Chinden Blvd, and older residential pockets):
- Ants (kitchens, bathrooms, baseboards, pavers) – targeted ant control solutions
- Spiders (garages, eaves, corners, webbing) – ongoing spider prevention
- Earwigs (moisture + mulch beds + foundation edges)
- Stinging insects (wasps/hornets around eaves, patios, sheds)
- Mosquitoes (standing water, shady yards, river-adjacent areas)

How We Treat Homes in Garden City
We don’t do “spray and pray.” Our Boise-based team follows a repeatable process designed for Garden City’s mix of river-adjacent moisture, landscaping, and garage-heavy homes:
- Inspection – entry points, moisture zones, harborage areas
- Targeted treatment – perimeter + cracks/crevices + hotspots (based on the pest)
- Prevention plan – simple fixes that reduce reinfestation (mulch lines, gaps, door sweeps, etc.)
- Follow-through – because pests don’t care that you “treated once”

Our Customers Love Us! See What They Are Saying.
I recently decided to use Barrier Lawn and Pest services as I became acquainted with their services through my place of work. The initial contact with Mike Dean was personable and informative. Scheduling of the service was also very accommodating as I was not given a 2-4 hour window as I had experienced with other companies. The technician arrived on time and reviewed the service with my wife before beginning. Upon completion, my wife was given the company's contact information in case we had any future questions. This experience was very pleasant, and we would recommend Barrier's services to any friend or neighbor.

Elm Seed Bugs
Introducing our Pest of the Month: the Elm Seed Bug. These small, reddish-black insects are commonly found on elm trees, where they feed on developing seeds. As cooler weather sets in, they often seek warmth inside homes, entering through cracks around windows, doors, and vents. While they don’t cause damage or pose health risks, their presence in large numbers can be quite a nuisance. To keep elm seed bugs at bay, seal potential entry points and maintain a clean perimeter around your home. If an infestation occurs, professional pest control can offer effective solutions.
