These pests are from the Vespidae family. They are social insects, meaning they work together. They become a problem when they build their nests on or near our homes. Paper Wasps often build their "paper" combs in the eaves, under a roof. Hornet nests are found in trees, while Yellowjackets can nest inside holes in the ground. All of these pests are territorial, and will fight when threatened. They have a painful sting. For some, who are allergic, these stings can be fatal. Because of their aggressive nature, it's important to work with a professional to remove these pests. As Utah's wasp experts, Jitterbug Pest Control is prepared with multiple treatment methods to help keep your home and family safe.

Spiders are found in every home in Utah. There are over 600 species of spiders found in Utah, but there are only a few that may pose life-threatening problems to humans. However, many provide painful bites. All spiders can cause problems with their webs. Knocking webs down will, not only make one's home look cleaner, but will help control the holistic spider population. Because spiders are predators, they are present wherever their prey (other bugs) is nesting. When it's cold, some spiders will undertake a process known as cold-hardening in order to survive the winter. The ones that don't, however, can seek shelter in your home. As Utah's spider experts, we know exactly what, how, and where to treat in order to keep spiders out of your home.

Ants 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 and yards. Often, they are found in the kitchen contaminating food. Carpenter Ants burrow into wood and can destroy the structure of homes and other buildings. Ant infestations can be extremely frustrating for home owners, and unfortunately, ants are one of the most common household pests in Utah. DIY methods of ant control can lengthen or worsen the problem - without the help of a licensed professional, these DIY methods can actually split the ant colony into two, making it harder to get rid of them. This is a process called budding. The best way to address the issue is to have a professional apply either baits or an invisible product in order to take care of the issue at the source. Our team is committed to helping you year round!

Rodents 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). At Jitterbug Pest Control, our experts are trained to look for entry points into the home, and can address the areas of rodent activity, protecting your home.

Mice

Norway Rat

Voles

Adult 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 on the flat surfaces/entry points of the home, especially the sunny sides (they will cluster on southern and western facing sides of trees and buildings). There are not really any DIY methods of control, a licensed technician using pro-grade products will be the best way to control these nuisance pests.

Cockroaches are a dreaded pest in Utah because of their super ability to reproduce quickly. They can survive in almost any environment, feeding off of literally almost anything. Seeing one cockroach is always indicative of more being present. They can carry diseases, and can infest your living areas appliances quickly. They are nearly impossible to get rid of using DIY methods. Jitterbug Pest Control are Utah's roach experts and are prepared to treat them using a variety of methods that we can customize to your specific infestation.

Fleas 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.

For the most part, these pests are found outside. They do not bite (except the Centipede, which has a painful sting). Yet, they can carry disease. They prefer moist living conditions. After rain, they often enter homes. If conditions are right, they can build their populations inside the home. We have different treatment options for each of these & can help rid your yard of these unwanted visitors!

These pests can build large infestations inside homes. Silverfish and Firebrats are responsible for damaging books and other paper goods. Some beetles (carpet beetle) and moths will destroy a variety of fabrics and animal skins, including your carpets and clothes. We are trained and prepared to help manage these types of insects for you.

10 percent of the World's grain is destroyed by Moths, Weevils, and Beatles. The same pests that invade grain fields and processing plants, also, populate the pantries and kitchens of our homes. Not only do these pests eat our food, but they contaminate it, too. A licensed professional will be best equipped to handle issues presented by these types of pests.

Termites and Carpenter Ants can be a major problem if present on a property. If you think that you have Termite or Carpenter Ant activity, Jitterbug can do an inspection for you.

Bedbugs 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. They can reproduce at an alarming rate and are excellent hitchhikers, making them one of the most feared pests in Utah. They are nearly impossible to get rid of without the help of a licensed professional. At Jitterbug Pest Control, we offer both heat treatments and traditional chemical treatments. If you have had bed bug activity, it is important to begin treatment as soon as possible. As Utah's bed bug experts, Jitterbug Pest Control is prepared to help in any way possible.

Flies can be a very annoying pest, especially during the summertimes, here in Utah. But not only can they be a great nuisance, they can also carry diseases including E. Coli, Salmonella, Cholera, and Typhoid Fever. They have very quick life cycles, which also means that they reproduce quickly. A small infestation can turn to a larger one within days or weeks. Jitterbug Pest Control is prepared to treat for them using multiple methods, including baits, liquid sprays, and traps. We want you to be able to enjoy your home again!

These little vampires will feed on the blood of both your family and pets. Their bites are extremely itchy and they can carry disease.
