Free re-service within 48 hours if pests come back between visits. We treat the eaves, entry points, landscaping and yard, not just a line around the foundation. Plans from $39 a month.
Why Candor
Most pest control companies sound the same. Here is what is genuinely different about how we work, in plain terms.
If a covered pest comes back between scheduled visits, we come back out at no additional charge, and our goal is to have a technician at your property within 48 hours. Plenty of companies advertise free re-services. The part that matters is how long you wait for one, so we put a number on it.
A foundation spray treats one line around your house, and pests do not live on that line. They live and travel through eaves, soffits, window and door frames, utility penetrations, landscaping beds, fence lines and the yard. We cover those areas as standard, which is why a visit takes longer than five minutes around the perimeter.
Ant colonies wake in March. Wasp queens found nests in April. Mosquitoes track the irrigation cycle. Spiders peak in September and rodents move indoors in October. Our plans are timed to what is actually active in the Treasure Valley right now, rather than four identical visits on an arbitrary calendar.
We use professional products registered for use in and around occupied homes, applied at label rate by licensed Idaho applicators, and applied precisely rather than blanket-sprayed. Keep children and pets off treated exterior surfaces until dry, usually under an hour. Tell us about fish, chickens, bees or an outdoor cat and we adjust around them.
Candor is Meridian owned and operated, with a second office in Garden City. When you call, you reach someone who knows the Treasure Valley. When something comes back between visits, the technician who returns is usually the one who already knows your property.

Questions
Our protection plans start at $39 a month for Essential Protection, $49 for Standard Protection and $69 for Complete Protection, which is our most popular plan. Mosquito and fly control is part of Complete Protection, which bundles six monthly treatments through the season. Those are starting prices and we confirm the number against your property before you commit.
Protection plans run on a 12-month initial service agreement, and we would rather explain why than bury it in the small print. When you enroll we waive or heavily discount the startup and initial service cost, and the twelve months is how that discount is earned back. Cancel before the term ends and you simply reimburse the initial discount you already received, nothing beyond it. After the first year the plan continues month to month.
If a covered pest comes back between your scheduled treatments, you call us and we come back out at no additional charge. Our goal is to have a technician at the property within 48 hours. A promise without a timeframe is not really a promise, which is why we put a number on ours.
We use professional products registered for use in and around occupied homes, applied at label rate by licensed Idaho applicators, and we apply them precisely rather than blanket-spraying a property. Standard practice is to keep children and pets off treated exterior surfaces until they are dry, usually under an hour depending on weather. Tell us in advance if you keep fish, chickens, bees or an outdoor cat and we will adjust the treatment around them.
It depends on the plan. Essential Protection covers insects only. Standard Protection adds mice and other common household rodents, and Complete Protection carries the same rodent coverage with mosquito and fly control on top. Rodents are separated out because mice need exclusion work that goes well beyond a standard insect treatment, and rats are quoted as their own job after an inspection.
Because the plan is a year of protection rather than a set of separate visits, and spreading it monthly keeps the cost predictable instead of landing as four or six large bills. What you are paying for between visits is the treatment continuing to work, and the free re-service if anything gets through.
Yes, where it is needed. A standard service covers the interior as well as the full exterior, and your technician will discuss garage, crawl space and attic access based on what they find. Not every visit needs interior work, and we will tell you honestly when it does not.
No. The products we use bind to surfaces once dry, so the dry time matters far more than the weather afterward. A normal Treasure Valley rain shower after a treatment has cured will not undo it. If severe weather hits right after a service and you are seeing activity, call us and we will come back out under the same free re-service policy.
