Introduction
Utah’s four-season climate means pest threats shift dramatically throughout the year. One month pests are nesting outdoors; the next, they’re sneaking indoors for warmth. Elevate Pest Control provides proactive, seasonally tailored guidance to help your home stay protected all year long.
Here are six essential seasonal tips every Utah homeowner should follow.
1. Spring: Clean & Inspect
- Clear lawn debris and standing water
- Inspect foundation cracks and seal gaps
- Schedule a targeted spring treatment to control ants, wasps, and early nesting behavior.
2. Early Summer: Block Access
- Repair torn screens and weatherstrip doors
- Seal pet and trash containers
- Treat for ants, spiders, moths, and pantry pests as they become most active
3. Mid-Summer: Mosquito & Wasp Prevention
- Eliminate water-holding containers
- Trim hedges close to your home’s foundation
- Use perimeter sprays to discourage wasp nests and mosquito activity
4. Fall: Seal Out Rodents
- Rodents begin seeking winter shelter
- Seal small exterior cracks, attic vents, and crawlspaces
- Place rodent bait stations around foundation lines and unseen areas.
5. Winter: Monitor Indoor Invaders
- Watch for boxelder bugs, spiders, and pantry pests indoors
- Inspect attics, basements, and unused rooms
- Elevate’s technicians conduct interior treatments during winter checks as needed
6. Maintain Year-Round Service
- Quarterly or semi-annual visits ensure treatments adapt to Utah’s seasonal shifts
- Free callbacks and follow-up visits keep your protection consistent and worry-free.
Why Seasonal Planning Matters
- Stops infestations before they become established
- Reduces use of chemicals by targeting at-risk times
- Saves homeowners time and money with proactive treatments
