Service requested was to eliminate an ant problem at our office. The service was scheduled promptly and the technician was on time and very friendly and knowledgeable. Most importantly, the problem ants seem to have been taken care of. Thank you!

We did a lot of research on pest control companies in the Twin Cities area, and I truly believe they provide a superior service compared to their competitors. We had a rocky start with a late notice cancellation by the company for our first appointment and our technician being over an hour late for our second appointment. However on our third appointment, they were on time, friendly and efficient. And most importantly, we aren't seeing anymore centipedes in our basement. We signed a year-long contract with them and I hope the service continues to stay on time.

Rainbow Pest responded immediately to our aggressive hornet's nest. They eliminated the problem the same day in a professional manner. When I left a message, my phone call was returned promptly by an extremely friendly and helpful representative. They were very competitve on pricing as well, so I will call them for my tree trimming in the fall.

I highly recommend Rainbow Pest Experts. We inherited a mouse problem at our new home. Rainbow did a thorough inspection and sealed up the exterior with foam/cement/wire as needed to prevent the mice from getting in. They set bait boxes in the house to take care of the mice within. Our front porch was not accessible to check for holes, so they recommended we remove a few boards in order to inspect and seal up any problems. They did not charge extra to come back out when our contractor removed the boards. In fact, since we are on their year-round plan, they come back any time we need them outside of our regular service. They also put a preventative for Asian Lady Beetles and Box Elder bugs and well as the regularly seen insects. Rainbow Pest Experts treats the outside so effectively for bugs, that I don't have them spray the inside of the house because I don't need it. I really trust this company. We also have their lawn and tree services and have had wonderful experiences with those services as well.

I went with Rainbow Pest based on a recommendation from my home inspector when I moved to my house in 2016. The spider population decreased significantly. The following season I decided to try another company (that rhymes with Inspite) because they serviced other houses in the area and had a neighborhood discount, and then I could also get a discounted packaged Mosquito mitigation deal... Needless to say, I wasn't happy with either program. The next spring I called Rainbow back and they got the job done. Spiders & Centipedes rarely make an appearance in my home now, again. You truly get what you pay for!

Dave G from Rainbow came out to address an issue with some wasps/yellow jackets nesting in a gap in a retaining wall in my backyard. Dave was a real nice guy and answered all my questions. The yellow jackets were gone a couple days later and there has been no activity since. I would not hesitate to call Rainbow again in the future.

We started using Rainbow Pest Experts in December 2016. They did an inspection of our property before we moved in and noted some mice activity. Dave took care of us and was great! He knew that I was anxious about the whole idea of having mice and he reassured me that he would take care of it. Every time I call Rainbow with a concern, they set up a time to come out as soon as possible. And my concerns are just that, my concerns because the issue has been resolved. We will continue to have a contract with them to make sure the issue remains resolved. They are honest, trustworthy and professional. I would give them 10 stars if I could! Especially Dave!

This has been a great experience from the moment I picked up the phone to schedule a consultation. We bought a home on a pond and wanted to make sure we didn't have mice. Dave came out and spent well over an hour with me going over my concerns. He was very patient and thorough explaining my options and answering all of my questions.When they came back to seal up the house they left no stone unturned! I can sleep easy knowing that the mice won't be joining me this winter! Very professional, knowledgeable and courteous. I highly recommend them and intend to refer them to all of my clients, friends, and family!

Phillip McNeal was the rep that came an he was 30 min early which was great! He did a very thorough inspection of the interior/exterior of the house an found spots that I didn’t even know about. He put out 12 bait boxes and even managed to get me a follow up appointment to plug all points of entry this coming Monday! Great customer service and very thorough! HIGHLY recommend!! Found them on google and saw good reviews and thought I would give them a try...very glad I did! I Highly recommend this company.

Rainbow PestExperts has been taking care of my home for over 4 years and it has been a WONDERFUL company to work with! Not only are they thorough and take care of any pests quickly and safely but they are so incredibly nice. I would not expect to have a pest control company become one of my favorite home care companies ever but they seriously are! They really care about my home, my pet and keeping our family comfortable! I lost my husband 5 years ago and they came out to my house multiple times to seal up my home, etc. and one guy even helped fix my garage door just to be nice. They are truly super cool and genuinely care about getting rid of any critters or crawlers and thank god because I definitely don't like doing it!

We were noticing a problem on a Friday and by Monday morning they were out helping us. Their service is professional, and you can really tell they care about the work that they do. Our technician Dave almost immediately diagnosed our problem and had all of the necessary tools to fix what was going on.I would highly, highly recommend turning to Rainbow for anything you need help with, they have been wonderful.

We want to especially recognize the expertise and services provided by Rainbow technician Philip M. We had an especially difficult problem with mice entering the house from outside through an access point almost impossible to get to and close off. However, Philip spent considerable time and follow-up sealing off the access and we have not had a problem since. He has been very thorough on return routine care visits and would recommend him to anyone experiencing a particularly difficult problem.

After years of battling mice I decided to choose the nuclear full frontal attack option and contacted Rainbow Pest Experts. They are excellent at what they do. We live in an 80 year old "dollhouse" with lots of nooks and crannies and they apparently managed to find and fill every mouse entry point as we have not had a single sign of a mouse since their visit. They examined the interior and exterior sealing every possibility with a special caulk that cures even in freezing temps. They also implemented hardware cloth and a battalion of poison bait stations with mind blowing sensational results!!! I highly recommend!!!

I have had Rainbow Pest Experts take care of my pest issues for over 7 years. When I moved into my home, I noticed a lot of mouse droppings. Rainbow came over and sealed all possible openings in my foundation and set bait traps in the basement. I have had NO problems since. Several times a year they make sure all the openings are still closed off and take care of any new ones. I also have them spray regularly for centipedes and spiders. I can't say enough about how professional and knowledgeable Rainbow's technicians are and the efficiency with which they do their jobs.

Rainbow Pest Experts and James (the technician working for me) have been excellent to work with as our home badly needed a bait-and-seal for mice and other pests. Given I was late to the appointment at my own house and wasn't prepared, I would have fully expected any technician to show frustration. James did the opposite and was helpful & engaging. Our family will definitely use Rainbow again and highly recommend this local, employee-owned company. As for James, Rainbow has a high-quality employee on their staff. It's always great to work with people who represent their company extremely well. Thanks, Rainbow and co.!

She was straightforward on the pricing of services and immediately understood my need to schedule someone as quickly as possible. James came out the next day and was very thorough in his inspection and explanation of the next steps. We felt confident in his expertise and contracted for Stage 1 that day. Even better, the cost of services was exactly what I had been told on the phone. Based on this interaction, we definitely recommend Rainbow.

We couldn't be more satisfied. And we had mice. Lots of mice. But the guys from Rainbow figured out where they lived, how they accessed the house...and they made a plan. It took a few weeks of baits and sealing holes and inspecting again, but now we don't have mice. AND we learned a lot from the technician, about how mice think and react which helps us ensure they won't return. They were very thorough during the first inspection, then notified us well in advance before they returned, and gave us a detailed description of what they did each time they returned. All in all, the process took just under a month, which they had estimated it would. Hard to imagine better service during a stressful time in owning a home.

Sow Bugs

Get Rid of Sow Bugs Today!

Sow bugs may be one of nature’s many natural recyclers. However, you may not feel so open in sharing your home with these creepy crawlies. With Rainbow Pest Experts’ Spring Insect Service, or with one of our Pest Prevention Plan in combination with our Foundation Sealing Service, your home will not only be sow bug free, but free of other insects during all seasons that you usually get these home invaders. Contact one of our experts today!

What Can You Expect With Our Sow Bugs Service?

You may be wondering why you need an expert to get rid of your sow bug problem when you can just do-it-yourself or how our services are different or better than other pest control companies and do-it-yourself projects. Well, with our services:

  • A thorough inspection of your home is conducted to identify the source of infestation by our highly trained and experienced staff.
  • Our experts will identify possible barriers that will prevent the success of control.
  • A detailed control and prevention plan is created and tailored to your goals and your home’s needs.
  • Our experts only use an EPA approved, professional grade microencapsulated insecticide product designed to withstand a variety of weather elements such as wind, rain & cold. Once dry (about 45 minutes) the product is safe to the touch. It will not stain or damage your siding, paint or foliage.
  • We offer an optional Foundation Sealing Service to minimize the number of sow bug as well as other insects from entering your home.
  • We work with you to implement an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach combining education, cultural practices such as sanitation, altering the targeted pest’s habitat and chemical applications when necessary to achieve lasting results.

Our treatment is fast acting and starts working within 60 minutes of application and lasts up to 60 days with a 30 day guarantee*.

Are Sow Bugs Harmful?

Sow bugs are not known to carry any diseases nor are they harmful or dangerous to you or your family. These creepy crawlies are unwelcomed within homes more for the eww factor that they evoke more than anything. Sow bugs feed on decaying organic matter so there is no danger to the structure of your home.

Can I Get Rid Of Sow Bugs Myself?

It is possible to get rid of sow bugs with a do-it-yourself project, but there are some drawbacks. It can be time consuming, expensive and ineffective. In addition, using store bought insecticides as part of your project has the potential for mishandling or misapplication can cause harm to you, your family and pets.

However, when you have a large infestation during the spring or fall, the large numbers can quickly become overwhelming. Our experts implement an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approach to prevent, exclude and reduce the population of sow bugs in your home. This approach includes:

  • Sealing all cracks and openings in the foundation of your home, doors, and window. This can be done by applying high quality professional grade caulking and silicone sealant to the foundation of your home, applying storm strips around doors, and ensuring mesh screens are installed and cracks around windows are sealed. This step is crucial in minimizing the number of sow bugs and other nuisance pests from entering into your home.
  • Applying a preventative barrier treatment around the foundation of your home, providing a barrier. Our products break down quickly to minimize any long-term threat to the environment while still maintaining effectiveness for up to three months.
  • Working with you to discourage sow bugs from taking up residence in your home by modifying the habitat around your home to make it less welcoming for them.

Additional Sow Bugs Facts

  • They are a land crustacean related to lobsters, crabs, and crayfish.
  • Are often confused with the pill bug, but unlike the pill bug, cannot roll into a ball
