Common Pests In Boise, Idaho


mosquito icon

Anopheles Mosquitoes

Anopheles mosquitoes, having a brownish-yellow hue and measuring up to 5 millimeters in body length, display nocturnal activity patterns, and lack specificity in choosing host feeding locations. The successful completion of their lifecycle requires access to water sources, particularly for the purpose of egg-laying. Anopheles mosquitoes are infamous for their ability to transmit malaria.

German Cockroaches

The German cockroach is a small, winged cockroach that is native to Asia but has become a common household pest throughout Idaho. It is a light brown or tan color and can grow to be about a half inch long. The German cockroach is a nocturnal insect, hiding in dark, warm places during the day and coming out at night to feed on organic matter. It is particularly attracted to sources of food and moisture, such as kitchen and bathroom areas. The German cockroach is a major pest in homes, restaurants, and other buildings, as it can reproduce quickly and can be difficult to control once an infestation has occurred.


ant icon

Formica obscuripes

Formica obscuripes, more commonly known as the Western Thatching Ant, are typically two-toned with red colored heads and brown bodies. Although, some Western Thatching Ants can be pure black. They have stocky bodies and can reach up to 8 millimeters in length. These ants are hunters and territorial of their colonies. They will attack and bite the moment they feel threatened. They live off of beetles, grasshoppers, dead insects, nectar, and pollen.

Deer Mice

Deer mice, commonly recognized by their typical round and brown appearance, possess cream-colored underbellies and elongated tails, reaching sizes ranging from 5 to 8 inches in length. During colder seasons, they seek refuge indoors, nesting among cluttered storage areas or small, cave-like spaces in Boise households. Omnivorous in nature, they feed on both plants and insects.


spider icon

Hobo Spider

Hobo spiders are not distinct looking, making them difficult to identify. They have a brown body color and gray and yellow markings on their abdomens. They have particularly long legs and can grow to be about 1/2 an inch in size. Hobo spiders construct funnel-shaped webs which they use to trap prey such as flies, cockroaches, mosquitoes and other small insects. Due to the fact that they are poor climbers, they typically reside underground and are commonly found in cracks and crevices, and in basements and window wells.


stinging insect icon

Forest Yellowjackets

Forest Yellowjackets, known for their classic black and yellow wasp coloration, have a body length of up to 15 millimeters. They typically construct their nests high in the forest trees of Idaho. Forest Yellowjackets are known for their aggressive behavior when disturbed or threatened. These wasps build smaller nests, which can house around 500 individuals. They obtain nutrition from nectar and are attracted to sugary substances.


tick icon

Brown Dog Ticks

Brown Dog Ticks are a warm reddish-brown color when male and more of a steel color when female. Prior to feeding they are about 1/8th of an inch in size. After latching onto a host and sucking blood, they expand up to 1/2 of an inch in length. Unlike most ticks, they thrive indoors. This particular species of hard tick latches onto dogs and people to gain entrance into your Boise, ID home and then will remain indoors for the remainder of its life. Try using eucalyptus oil or diatomaceous earth to get rid of them.
