FAQ

Honest, Customized Pest Control for your Spokane Business

  • Bed Bugs

    • Will I see live bed bugs after treatment from Backwoods Pest Control?

      You may see live bed bugs wandering around your home for one to two weeks once the treatment is complete. However, this is normal. The bed bugs should wander into our bed bug treatment product and expire within a week of contact. If you have any questions about missed areas or a potential re-emergence, please don't hesitate to get in touch with the experts at Backwoods Pest Control.

    • Can I remove bed bug treatment barriers from around my Spokane home?

      In most cases, Backwoods Pest Control will apply barrier treatments in inconspicuous areas. However, if we suspect bed bugs are behind baseboards or electrical outlets, we may apply a two-inch spray barrier on, above, or around these places. You may be able to see these barriers on your wall depending on the refraction of light in your room. Please do not interact with these barriers or attempt to wash them off until all the bed bugs are gone. When left undisturbed, your barrier will remain active for up to three months. However, you can easily remove the barrier with a kitchen or bathroom cleaner (if desired).

  • Rodents

    • Why should I trust Backwoods Pest Control to treat my Spokane property for rodents?
      We inspect the property, explain the signs we find, and give you a written plan for equipment, service areas, follow-up, and price. In an iQ-equipped program, our technician reviews timestamped device activity at visits to guide adjustments; the system does not send live alerts. We explain placement and precautions around children and pets, and we stand behind the work described in your agreement. Rodent control usually takes ongoing attention, so we will not promise instant or permanent elimination.
    • How often will you treat my Spokane home or business for rodents?
      Visit timing follows rodent activity and your written agreement. For Sentinel, we begin with equipment setup and an included follow-up approximately 30 days later. Active rodent control may require more frequent visits; ongoing maintenance follows the agreed schedule. Monthly program payments do not mean a technician visits every month. We explain whether a requested extra visit is included or separately quoted before scheduling it.
    • How much does a rodent treatment service from Backwoods Pest Control cost?
      After inspecting your property, we provide a written quote that identifies the service areas, equipment, planned visits, and any separately priced work. An iQ-equipped program may cost more than a basic bait-station service because it adds activity data and technician review. We will explain what that added work is meant to accomplish. The final price depends on the property and the agreed scope; we do not claim to be the lowest-priced option.

  • Carpenter Ants

    • How do I know if I have a carpenter ant infestation?

      Some signs of a carpenter ant infestation include seeing the ants themselves, noticing piles of carpenter ant frass in your home, or hearing a faint rustling noise in walls or ceilings. Carpenter ant swarmers on your Spokane property may also be cause for concern. If you need help determining whether you have a carpenter ant infestation, contact our experts at Backwoods Pest Control. We can properly identify these pests and develop an effective solution for eliminating them.

    • How can I prevent carpenter ant infestations?

      The best way to prevent carpenter ant infestations is to properly maintain your property and inspect wooden structures, sealing any cracks or crevices around windowsills, door frames, and foundations. It's also a good idea to keep an eye out for their signs. Backwoods Pest Control can also help you create a prevention plan to keep these pests away and protect your home from future infestations.

    • Do you guarantee your carpenter ant services?

      Yes! We are committed to providing the highest quality services and always strive for 100% customer satisfaction. That's why we guarantee our carpenter ant services and offer follow-up visits 14 to 21 days after your initial service to ensure that all carpenter ants are gone. If a reinfestation occurs, we will come back and provide our services again at no additional charge.
