- AntsAnts are common throughout Utah. They are present year-round. Although most species do not bite, they can all carry disease. Many people are appalled simply by the sight of these insects. Ants, in search of food, water, or shelter invade our homes. Often, they are found in the kitchen contaminating food. Carpenter Ants burrow into wood and can destroy the structure of homes and other buildings.

- Bed BugsBedbugs are an increasing problem in Utah. Not only do they bite, but they can spread disease. They hide in cracks and crevices throughout the house and feed on people and pets during the night. Because of their small stature and mobility they become difficult to control. It is important that we work together to get rid of these pests and allow your family to sleep without letting the bedbugs bite!
- FleasFleas and Ticks are known as Ectoparasites -meaning they live off of a host animal. Fleas have narrow bodies and spines that make them ideal for attaching to a carrier. Dogs and Cats itch profusely when infested. Fleas, often, will bite humans. Some people have become infected with Dog Tapeworm by ingesting these pests. They can build their population at a rapid rate. Ticks dig their head deep into the body of the host animal. They then feed off of the blood. While in the bloodstream, they may pass organisms of disease (Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever, Lyme Disease, etc...). Even if you do not have a dog or a cat, Fleas and Ticks can be present in your home.

- Boxelder BugsAdult size is about 1/2", all black with red lines on their back. They love feeding on Box Elder and Maple trees. Box Elder bugs are not dangerous but can be a major nuisance. In the fall, they can try to enter homes in swarms looking for places to hibernate. Best control includes sealing cracks and crevices along windows, doors, and rooflines and treating with a residual insecticide.
- RodentsRodents compete for the same food, water, and shelter that are used by humans. They adapt extremely well to almost any environment. They can multiply at astounding speed, and will breed throughout the year. Annoyance is not the biggest problem rodents bring to humans - but their ability to bring sickness and disease. Murine typhus, Rickettsial Pox, Salmonellosis, Rat-bite Fever, and the Hantavirus are only some of the sickness that can be passed from rodents to humans (via feces, urine, fleas, or actual bites).
- Mice(body 3-4 inches, tail 3-4 inches, large ears, small eyes) House Mice are found in every neighborhood. They are nocturnal animals (doing most of their work at night). Because of their size, mice can enter into a home through a hole as small as ¼ inch. Mice are very curious, and get into almost everything.
- Rats(body 7-10 inches, tail 6-8 inches, small ears, small eyes) Norway Rats are also called "House Rats" or "Sewer Rats". They are the largest rodent that commonly infest homes. They are more cautious than House Mice. Outside, they will burrow in the ground to make their nest. Inside, they often build their nest in garages or other protected areas. Fires have been caused by rats gnawing on electrical wires. Norway Rats can jump up to 3 feet and as far as a yard. They sometimes attack when threatened or trapped. Norway Rats can eat 20-40 lbs of food per year while contaminating much more.
- Voles(body 3.5-5 inches, tail 1 inch, ), stocky build and small eyes distinguish them from true mice) Voles are also called "Meadow Mice". They breed year round and do not hibernate. If conditions are right there can be up to 500 voles living on 1 acre. Their population size can vary each year. The greatest damage often happens during the winter when snowfall is heaviest. Spring/Summer damage can go unnoticed because food sources are readily available. They can have many surface runways or underground tunnels with many burrow entrances.
- GophersSome of the pests that are included in service are Hobo Spiders, Ants, Roaches, Voles, Mice, Yellow Jackets, Crickets, Grasshoppers, Gophers, Moths and other bugs and pests.
