One Valley, a Big Lake and 760,000 Neighbors: Pest Control Across Utah County
Utah County is home to about 759,900 people, up 15.2% since 2020 (U.S. Census Bureau), spread from the Point of the Mountain to Santaquin. Most live in a narrow strip between Utah Lake, Utah’s largest freshwater lake, and the Wasatch Front, where irrigated yards, older farm properties and brand-new subdivisions sit side by side. That mix keeps ants, spiders, mice, boxelder bugs and mosquitoes active for most of the year.
Arete Pest Control has its Utah office at 313 1200 S in Orem, in the middle of the valley, and our technicians live and work right here in Utah County. They are licensed through the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food, use EPA-registered products, and offer same-day service with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. Plans start at $40 a month and the first inspection is free.

What Utah County Homeowners Call About Most
Six pests account for most calls across Utah County. Here is what each one looks like in the valley.
Pavement ants
USU Extension calls pavement ants northern Utah’s most common pest ant in and around homes. They nest under slabs, driveways and pavers and trail inside from spring through fall.
Spiders and black widows
Window wells, garages and basement storage are prime spider habitat across the valley. The western black widow is, per USU Extension, the most dangerous spider to people in Utah.
Mice and deer mice
Mice move into homes along the benches and farm edges as fall arrives. Deer mice are the main carrier of hantavirus in the U.S. (CDC), so cleanup matters as much as trapping.
Boxelder bugs
Boxelder bugs gather on warm, south-facing walls in late summer and fall before slipping inside for winter (USU Extension). Older shade trees in established neighborhoods give them a start.
Mosquitoes near the lake
Neighborhoods closest to Utah Lake, the Provo River and irrigation ditches see the most mosquitoes. Utah County reported five probable human West Nile cases in September 2025.
Wasps and yellowjackets
Eaves, decks, fences and play sets collect paper-wasp and yellowjacket nests from late spring until the first hard freeze; nests near doors and walkways are the most common call.

Who tends to call
Families in new subdivisions in north and west county; owners of established homes and farm properties in Orem, Provo, Springville and Spanish Fork; landlords and property managers near the universities; and businesses along the I-15 corridor.
One honest limit
One treatment will not hold back a whole valley. Homes next to fields, canals or the lakeshore will always see more pressure, so quarterly service, sealing gaps and keeping water off the foundation are what keep results steady.

Why Utah County Has Its Own Pest Pattern
Utah County residents (July 2025 estimate)

Source: Utah State ParksGrowth on open land
New subdivisions in Lehi, Saratoga Springs, Vineyard and Spanish Fork go in on former fields. Construction moves ants, mice and spiders out of the ground and toward the nearest foundation.
The lake and the canals
The west side of the valley sits next to Utah Lake, rivers and irrigation canals. Standing water and damp soil favor mosquitoes, ants and earwigs; the county runs evening mosquito spraying through summer.
The bench and the canyons
Neighborhoods along the east bench back onto the Wasatch foothills and canyons. Deer mice, spiders and wasps move between open land and backyards, and the first cold nights push them indoors.

Licensing, Mosquitoes and Safety in Utah County
Pest control licensing
Utah requires a Commercial Pesticide Business License for any company that applies pesticides for hire, and every application must be made by a licensed applicator. Ask any company you hire for both.
West Nile virus
Utah County reported five probable human West Nile cases in September 2025. Dump standing water weekly, use repellent at dusk and keep gutters clear; yard treatments cut the mosquitoes resting in shrubs and shade.
Mouse droppings and hantavirus
Never sweep or vacuum droppings dry. The CDC advises wetting them with disinfectant first and wearing gloves. We handle cleanup as part of rodent service.
County mosquito spraying
Utah County Health Department mosquito abatement sprays on summer evenings, typically from after Memorial Day to mid-September (schedule). It knocks down flying adults but does not reach larvae in your gutters, buckets or yard, which is where yard treatment helps.
