Cold Iron Pest Control · Grangeville, Little Bend & the Pyrite Flats · Est. 2012
Every claim on this page is a number.
Cold Iron runs pest control the way a bookkeeper runs a ledger: inspect, count, treat, count again. The invoice itemizes every product by name and percentage and every placement by room — and a file is not closed until two consecutive monitor reads come back zero, whether that takes two visits or four.
Services & rates
The rate ledger
Rates from last quarter’s closed files across Grangeville and the flats. Every line includes the inspection, the itemized report and the 90-day line; travel inside the county is not a line item because it is not a charge.

Four monitoring visits, glue boards read and graphed, treatment only where the counts say so
The protocol
A file, opened and closed
Day 0 — the count
Forty points photographed, glue boards down, entry gaps logged with a gap gauge, the specimen under the scope. Nothing is treated before it is counted.
Day 1 — the placement map
Every placement drawn on your floor plan: gel in the cabinet voids, dust in the wall, growth regulator at the harborage. The map is the invoice’s second page.
Day 14 — the read
Monitors counted against the day-zero baseline and the graph printed. Zero and the file moves to watch; anything else and the protocol extends at no charge.
Day 30 — the close
A second zero read closes the file. You receive the whole ledger — products, placements, counts, dates — as a PDF you can hand a buyer or a landlord.
Day 90 — the line
The warranty runs ninety days from the close. Activity of the same species inside it is a free full re-run of the protocol, not a spot touch-up.
The 90-day line
Live activity of the treated species inside 90 days of the close and the file reopens at zero cost — the full protocol, not a touch-up. In twelve years it has happened on 1.4 percent of files, and we can tell you which species.
The paperwork
What itemized actually means
A pest invoice that says "treatment performed" is a receipt for nothing. Ours names the active ingredient and its percentage, the room and the void it went into, the re-entry interval, and the monitor counts that closed the file. If a buyer’s inspector, a landlord or a pediatrician asks what was used in your kitchen, the answer is one PDF away.
From the cabinet
Two files, closed
They found the termite stations I paid another company to install and never check — empty, corroded, one ripped out by the mower. Cold Iron replaced the grid, showed me the quarterly counts, and the colony was dead by September. The ledger is real.
I asked for the spray. The tech asked for ten minutes and a specimen jar, came back with the species in writing, and baited instead. Two visits, a graph, done. I have never trusted a pest company before this one.
The ledger, in figures
Every number on their site showed up on my invoice — product names, percentages, a floor plan with X marks where the gel went. My landlord accepted the file as-is, which in nine years of renting has never once happened.
The WDI report for our closing was done in 36 hours, on the form the bank wanted, with photos of the one mud tube they found and a quote to treat it in the same envelope. The sale did not miss a day.
Four years on the Sentinel plan. The glue-board graphs arrive every quarter like a utility bill, and the only time the counts ticked up, a tech was here inside the week. It is boring, in the best possible way.
Before you open a file
Questions with numeric answers
The five we get on every first call into the office. If yours is not here, the line at the bottom of the page runs seven to five, flats included.
Why count instead of just treating?
Because a count turns an opinion into a measurement. Glue boards tell us the species, the pressure and the direction before a gram of anything is placed — and the same boards tell us when to stop, which is the part of this trade that actually saves you money.
Heat or chemicals for bed bugs?
Heat, where the structure allows it: one day, no residue, every stage from egg to adult in a single run. Chemical-only protocols need two to three follow-ups because eggs survive the first pass. We quote both; the ledger shows which closed faster on average — heat, two-thirds of the time.
What does the termite baiting warranty cover?
The stations carry an annual service agreement with retreat coverage on the structure: if monitoring finds activity inside the grid, the bait load is refreshed and any needed spot treatment is included. The grid is checked four times a year and the counts are in your file.
Do you offer monthly spraying?
No. Calendar spraying treats the schedule instead of the insect — it is how the same kitchen gets hosed four times in one summer. The Sentinel plan places product only where monitor counts say something is living, and the graphs prove the difference.
Can I get the file for a landlord or closing?
Yes — every closed file is a PDF: species identified, products by name and percentage, the placement map, monitor counts at day 0, 14 and 30, and the warranty line. WDI reports for closings are on the lender’s two-page form, signed and delivered inside 48 hours.
