An exterior treatment runs $150 to $350 in Lander, with the tree treatment from $150 to $300. Exclusion work runs higher depending on the number of gaps.

They are drawn to the boxelder and maple trees for feeding, and to the sunny walls for warmth. The numbers build where the host trees are close to the house.

No. They are a nuisance pest that does not bite or damage the structure, but the clusters and the odor are a problem when they gather in large numbers.

We treat both. The trees are where they feed and gather, and the house is where they enter, so the treatment covers both to break the cycle.
