Pest Control in Orem, UT
Arete Pest Control’s Utah office is right here in Orem, at 313 1200 S, Suite 201. Our technicians treat homes and businesses across Orem and Utah County every day, with same-day service available and a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every treatment.
Orem sits between the Wasatch foothills and the east shore of Utah Lake. First settled as farmland and known as Sharon and later Provo Bench, the city took the name of Walter C. Orem in 1919. Today it is home to about 95,000 residents (U.S. Census Bureau estimate, July 2025) and Utah Valley University.
That mix of irrigated yards, older basement homes, newer builds and open foothill land keeps ants, spiders, mosquitoes, boxelder bugs and mice busy for most of the year. Whether you need a one-time fix, a year-round home plan or commercial pest control, help is a few minutes away.

Why Orem Homes See So Many Pests
Orem’s summers are hot and its winters cold (the city lists average temperatures of 89° in summer and 45° in winter). Snowmelt, lawn irrigation and Utah Lake keep moisture close to homes, while the foothills and open land next to newer subdivisions give rodents and insects a steady supply of new arrivals.
The pests we treat most in Orem:
- Ants trailing into kitchens from patios, foundations and irrigation lines
- Spiders, including the western black widow, which Utah State University Extension calls the most dangerous spider to people in Utah
- Mosquitoes. In September 2025 the Utah County Health Department reported five probable human cases of West Nile virus in the county
- Boxelder bugs covering sunny walls and windows in late summer and fall
- Mice, including deer mice, the main carrier of hantavirus in the U.S. according to the CDC
- Subterranean termites. USU Extension notes termites are found throughout Utah, so wood that touches damp soil (decks, fences, sill plates) is worth checking
Orem pest calendar
| Season | What we see in Orem | What helps |
|---|---|---|
| Spring | Ants trail indoors as the ground thaws; wasp queens start nests under eaves; termites swarm on warm days after rain | Seal entry points early; start quarterly perimeter treatments |
| Summer | Mosquitoes breed in sprinklers, gutters and standing water. Utah County runs mosquito spraying from after Memorial Day to mid-September | Dump standing water weekly; mosquito yard treatments |
| Fall | Boxelder bugs and spiders cluster on sunny siding, then push into window wells and basements; mice move indoors | Exterior treatment before the first cold snap; rodent exclusion |
| Winter | Deer mice and house mice nest in attics, garages and walls | Trapping, sealing gaps, safe droppings cleanup |
Left alone, these pests contaminate food, bite and sting, damage wood and wiring, and keep coming back. A plan built around Orem’s seasons stops most of that before it starts.
How Arete Treats Orem Homes
Sprays from the hardware store knock down what you can see, but rarely what is nesting in walls, window wells or the yard. Every Arete plan starts with an inspection and is built to keep pests from coming back:
- A full inspection to find nests, entry points and moisture problems
- Targeted interior and exterior treatments, applied with care around kids and pets
- A perimeter barrier around foundations, eaves, window wells and landscaping
- Seasonal adjustments for spring ants, summer mosquitoes and fall invaders
- Free re-treatments between visits if pests come back
Plans start at $40 a month (see the plans below). If you have an urgent problem, same-day service is available, and our office line is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does pest control cost in Orem?
Arete’s year-round plans are $40 a month (Pest Plan: 4 quarterly treatments, free re-treatments), $70 a month (Pest+ adds termite bait stations) and $118 a month (Pest Elite+ adds 8 mosquito treatments). An initial service fee may apply. One-time treatments are quoted after a free inspection.
Do you have an office in Orem?
Yes. Our Utah office is at 313 1200 S, Suite 201, Orem, UT 84058, phone (801) 980-7443. Technicians are based locally and serve Orem and the rest of Utah County.
How fast can you come out?
Same-day service is available for most Orem addresses, and next-day at the latest in most cases. Our phone is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
What pests are most common in Orem?
Ants and spiders in spring and summer, mosquitoes from June through September, boxelder bugs and spiders moving indoors in fall, and mice (including deer mice) in fall and winter. Subterranean termites are found throughout Utah and are worth an inspection if you have wood touching soil.
Are your treatments safe for kids and pets?
We use EPA-registered products applied by licensed technicians, following label directions. We tell you how long to keep kids and pets off treated areas (usually until it dries) and focus interior work on cracks, crevices and entry points rather than open surfaces.
Is it safe to clean up mouse droppings myself?
Deer mice can carry hantavirus, which spreads through their urine, droppings and saliva (CDC). Never sweep or vacuum droppings dry, because that puts particles in the air. Wet them with disinfectant first, wear gloves, or let us handle trapping, exclusion and cleanup.
Do you treat for mosquitoes and West Nile virus risk?
Yes. Our mosquito treatments target the shady areas where adult mosquitoes rest and the standing water where they breed. Utah County reported five probable human West Nile cases in 2025 (Utah County Health Department), so summer treatment is worth considering if you spend evenings outdoors.
Do you service businesses in Orem?
Yes. We provide commercial pest control for offices, restaurants, retail, property managers and warehouses across Orem and Utah County, with scheduled service and documentation for inspections.
