If you’ve lived through a North Idaho winter, you know the sinking feeling of seeing those jagged "runways" carved into your lawn once the snow melts off the Rathdrum Prairie. While most neighbors are prepping their gardens, you’re looking at a yard that’s been decimated by "snow moles."
In Post Falls, voles thrive under the cover of our heavy snowpack, protected from predators while they feast on your grass and expensive landscaping. At Crosstown Pest Control, we don't just wait for the damage to stop; we provide aggressive, strategic solutions designed for the unique soil and climate of Kootenai County.
We don't just spray and pray. We live here, work here, and know exactly how the local vole populations behave from the Prairie winds of west Post Falls to the foothills.

A: Our local geography is a primary factor. The soft, loamy soil of the Rathdrum Prairie makes tunneling effortless for voles. Additionally, our long winters provide a thick "subnivean" layer—the space between the ground and the snow—where voles can hide from predators like hawks and owls while eating your grass blades and tree bark undisturbed until the spring thaw reveals the damage.
A: Retail hardware stores often sell deterrents that simply don't hold up to North Idaho's moisture and cold. Our team uses professional-grade, weather-resistant bait stations strategically placed along active runways. We combine this with our signature "manual sweep" of the property perimeter to ensure that while we handle the voles underground, we are also clearing spiders and egg sacs above ground for a total shield.
