Kyle did a detailed, exceptional job. Kyle used a duster and sprayed around the windows. The prior guy that came did not. HE only did basic inside and outside the house and lied about the shop when I mentioned the shop. He said they don't do shops and garages. Today I found out they do. Normally I would not recommended this company, but because of Kyle I would. However request Kyle or talk directly to owner and request in writing what is to be done.Posted on Google![]()

Kris always does a great job announcing his approximate time of arrival, asking if there are any area of concerns that need more attention than what he may visibly see. Really appreciate that there is a summary of update of treatment provided, especially regarding the status of the mouse bait & spider traps. We also had a workman installing new storm doors externally to the house & Kris handled that so professionally and assuring him that he would not be exposed to any of the chemical work he was doing. Solid interaction Kris, thanks!Posted on Google![]()

Kevin did a fantastic job today. He was very efficient, friendly, and comprehensive. Kevin inspected my crawl space and attic. I feel secure in the knowledge that I don’t have any pest problems. I am confident that the reason I don't have any pest problems is due to the quarterly pest control servicing Croach provides.Posted on Google![]()

Services Croach® Offers In Northern Idaho

Common Pest Challenges in Spirit Lake
Spirit Lake's combination of forests, lakefront properties, and changing weather creates ideal conditions for many common household pests. We protect you from North Idaho's most common pests, including:
- Ants: Odorous house ants, pavement ants, and carpenter ants are common throughout the Spirit Lake area. Carpenter ants are especially common around wooded properties, tree stumps, decks, fences, sheds, and homes with moisture-damaged wood.
- Bed Bugs: Vacation homes, rental cabins, overnight guests, travel, and used furniture can all introduce bed bugs into homes in Spirit Lake. They spread by hitching rides on luggage, clothing, bedding, and furniture rather than coming from the outdoors.
- Spiders: Several spider species thrive around Spirit Lake, including giant house spiders, hobo spiders, cellar spiders, orb-weavers, and yellow sac spiders.
- Rodents: House mice, deer mice, Norway rats, and roof rats are all found throughout North Idaho. Rodents often move into homes, garages, and outbuildings during the colder months in search of warmth and shelter.
- Wasps: Yellow jackets, paper wasps, and bald-faced hornets become increasingly active during the summer and early fall.
- Other seasonal pests include earwigs, boxelder bugs, stink bugs, mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks. Homes near the lake, wooded areas, and heavily landscaped properties typically experience these pests more often.

Frequently Asked Questions
Ants, rodents, spiders, yellowjackets, wasps, mosquitoes, and seasonal nuisance pests are among the most common pest concerns for Spirit Lake homeowners.
Yes. Seasonal cabins and other types of vacation rentals that sit vacant for periods can be more vulnerable to rodents, spiders, ants, and wasps seeking quiet places to nest. It's best to start pest control treatments 2-3 months before you expect visitors to arrive during peak season.
As temperatures drop, rodents seek warm, protected places with reliable food sources. Homes, garages, sheds, crawl spaces, and cabins provide excellent shelter during the colder months.
Yes. Croach® uses targeted treatment methods designed to effectively control pests while minimizing unnecessary exposure to people and pets.
