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

There are three spiders in Utah that are medically significant because of their bite.  Those are the black widow, the hobo and the yellow sac.  The brown recluse is not present in Utah contrary to the understanding of many people.

Extermiman® specializes in strategies for the control of poisonous and nuisance spiders in Utah.

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.

Can pesticides which are meant to be deadly to pests truly be safe to use around children, pets and the environment!

Companies in our line of work are sometimes referred to as exterminators and/or pest control providers.  To exterminate something is to eliminate or to get rid of it entirely.  To control something is to suppress, subdue, dominate or to change something.

The two terms are both applicable in our industry and may be used appropriately at differing times depending on the target pest that is being pursued.

An example of extermination may be the goal to eliminate a bed bug infestation that has been introduced into a structure.  The goal of the “exterminator” regarding this pest problem would be to eliminate, as quickly as possible, this insidious insect.  Some pests only become a problem when they are specifically introduced by means other than the immediate outside natural environment to a structure.  These are usually the situations where the call for an exterminator and extermination of the problem is needed.  Pests that would come under this classification would include bed bugs and German cockroaches to name a couple.

Pest control on the other hand would take into account the fact that certain pests may continue to be a chronic problem because they originate from the immediate exterior environment or they are introduced into the structure on a recurring basis, therefore, measures are implemented in the long run to minimize the presence of  the target pest(s) by methods that are feasibly possible.  If somebody were dealing with spiders continually entering their home (possibly because of the age and dilapidation of the home), the requesting party may enlist the services of a pest control company to provide suggestions and treatment to reduce the amount of activity that would otherwise be present without pest control service.  Pests that fall under this category may include but are not limited to ants, earwigs, mice, spiders, wasps, etc.

Some pests may fall under both categories depending on geography, temperature and other factors.
