Pest control in northern Utah tends to follow a predictable cycle.  Many of the pest problems people deal with go hand in hand with the weather patterns.  Since northern Utah experiences a winter freeze many insects go into a state of hibernation known as diapause.  Most insects possess a chemical in their bodies which acts as an antifreeze during this time of the year as well.  Spiders will seek shelter in overwintering sites.  Ant, spider and termite activity tend to slow in the winter but are not entirely eliminated.  Some spiders and insects may stay active in the winter once the have found shelter situated underneath or inside of a structure that is able to sustain warmth and resources during this time of the year.

Rodents tend to be a problem all throughout the year with an increase of indoor structural activity in the winter for most residents in the valley areas.  Mice seek shelter and food sources indoors because food sources start to become restricted outdoors during the winter months.

German cockroaches and bed bugs tend to be a year round problem because they solely reside inside of structures and do not move around outdoors.  Bed bugs and german cockroaches are almost strictly introduced by personal transport on a person or in some type of personal belongings, packaging, etc.  A rare exception may be a building that is over run with german cockroaches that make a quick migration to a neighboring structure because the structure can no longer support the current population.  These levels of cockroach infestations tend to be minimal and exist because of extremely poor sanitation practices on the part of an occupant in most cases.

Spring normally presents the first major signs of pest control problems in Utah.  Spiders and insects begin to emerge from over wintering sites.  Many begin to lay eggs or to finish maturity in preparation for their reproductive cycles.  The months of March, April and May tend to be unpredictable in terms of weather.  Warming trends may start as early as January and February on the other hand winter conditions may sometimes persist into the late spring and even early summer.  Many people are encourage not to plant annuals until May 15th or after for this very reason.

When summer arrives or when the warming trend has sustained temperatures of 70 degrees + for 1 to 2 weeks spiders and insects begin to make their presence well known.  It is during the summer time that spider and insect activity are abundant and quite visible.  Wasps become a threat for many as hives tend to be in full production.

Sometime around September the temperatures take a noticeable dip.  Once this occurs spiders and insects begin to make their way indoors seeking shelter for the winter.  Some will reside closely to outer areas of the building moving in when cold and out when warm.  This back and forth action makes many pest problems very evident.

As the cold then sets in for the winter the cycle repeats itself.

This world of the small is teaming with life.  We acknowledge that many beneficial spiders and insects live among this tiny world of creatures.  We also recognize that dangerous, nuisance and economically significant pests also reside in this realm of existence.  It is the latter that we take a stand against striving to implement strategies that cause as little collateral damage as possible.  We recognize that each situation is unique and should be dealt with accordingly.

Wasp control in Utah is a very common problem.  Wasp nests may be visible or hidden.  Visible nests that are small in size may be destroyed with relative ease if the can be reached.

Spider control in Utah is one of the most common concerns people have when it comes to pest control problems.

Adult Billbug in Utah

Billbugs, what are they?

Billbug adults are a type of weevil.  They are also sometimes called “snout beetles”.

What should I know about billbugs?

Billbugs may cause damage to small or large sections of turf.  Adults emerge from hibernating and begin to become active around April and May when soil temperatures exceed 65 degrees F.  The females then begin to feed for a short period of time and then search out a suitable place to begin laying eggs.  Egg laying typically continues through August.  The larvae feed on the insides of grass stems hollowing them out.  Once the larvae pupates, the pupa may feed on the crown and roots of the grass.  Large populations of billbugs may do significant damage in a short period of time.

How can you determine if you have billbugs?

One trick used by many in our field perform a tug test.  Simply put you grab a handful of turf that looks damaged and pull it up.  If the turf stays intact and does not pull up easily it is normally a good indicator that the turf is drought stressed and simply need more water.  If on the other hand the grass peels away from the soil as if it has been scalped it may be billbugs.  If you observe the bottoms of the grass blades carefully you should notice the stems hollowed out and also see saw-dust like material (frass) collecting on the surface and insides of the hollowed out stems.

Control options.

Chemical control is generally the best option for immediate relief.  Do it yourselfers may purchase over the counter products labeled for this purpose.

With a one-time treatment and charge Extermiman® will guarantee the elimination of billbugs in your lawn all season long.
