Veteran’s Day
Today marks the 101st anniversary of the armistice that ended the first World War and the adoption of a day to commemorate all Veterans of that conflict, both living and dead. On the one year anniversary, 100 years ago today, President Woodrow Wilson offered this... read morePestWorld 2019
We had the pleasure of attending PestWorld 2019 in October. This was the second consecutive year that Barrier Pest Control has attended PestWorld—the name for the National Pest Management Associations’(NPMA) annual convention. We were honored to be one of the few... read moreWinter Treatments
It’s inevitable… temperatures around the Treasure Valley and surrounding areas have started to plummet. For most people, colder weather means hoodies, blankets and football games. For those of us in the pest control business, we realize there is a different,... read moreThat Woman Who Swallowed The Fly
There was an old woman who swallowed a fly. I don’t know why she swallowed a fly. Perhaps she should have had a fly treatment from Barrier Pest Control! In my childhood imagination the lady swallowed the fly (thinking it was a raisin) and then panicked,... read moreNo, We Can’t Get Rid of Your Pesky Mother in Law

Hi, this is Chris from my little corner of Barrier Pest Control. I thought we’d talk about flying, stinging insects for a minute or two. Wasps are those flying, stinging insects that make honeycomb-like nests that stick to walls, eves, fences, patio covers and... read moreBoise Mosquitos
“I’d like to breed mosquitos.” said no one ever! I can’t think of anyone who likes them, thinks they’re cute or wants one for a pet. I’m sure their only purpose in life is to aggravate and rankle us. Besides outhouses, they are the reason my idea of camping is at... read moreTHIS MONTH'S
