At Double Diamond Pest Management, one of the most common questions we hear is: “When should I spray for bugs?” The answer depends on your specific pest problem, but for most homes and businesses, spring and early summer are ideal times to spray. Why? Because this is when many bugs begin to emerge, breed and establish colonies. Spraying early disrupts that cycle and helps prevent infestations before they start.
What Is Spraying for Bugs?
Spraying involves applying a targeted treatment to surfaces where pests live, hide or travel. This includes places like baseboards, entry points, yards or foundations. Our professional-grade bug spraying products in Idaho create an invisible barrier that kills insects on contact and repels future invaders. Treatments are safe for families and pets once dry and designed to be long-lasting.
Spraying is particularly effective for ants, cockroaches, spiders, earwigs, silverfish, fleas, ticks and certain beetles. These pests often hide deep in walls, cracks or outdoor nests. When sprayed, these bugs either die from direct exposure or carry the treatment back to their colonies, spreading the product and eliminating nests at the source.
What Happens After Spraying?
After a professional spray by Double Diamond Pest Management, the treated area becomes a hostile environment for bugs. You may see an increase in activity for a few days; this is normal as pests flee or die off. Within 1–2 weeks, infestations typically subside. Our barrier treatments continue working for weeks, and regular follow-ups ensure long-term protection.
