Pest Control Myths That Are Costing You
Myth #1: “If I Don’t See Bugs, I Don’t Have Bugs”
This is like saying if you don’t see your in-laws, they don’t exist. Just because pests are good at hiding doesn’t mean they’re not there.
Roaches, spiders, ants, even mice can go undetected for weeks or months. By the time you do see them, it’s usually because the population is big enough that hiding isn’t working anymore.
What We Do:
Our inspections find the source before you’re starring in a live-action bug documentary. Prevention > infestation.
Myth #2: “DIY Traps and Sprays Are Just As Good as Professionals”
Look, we’re not saying your TikTok vinegar trap is totally useless… but we are saying it’s not going to cut it if you’ve got an actual infestation.
Store-bought sprays? Temporary.
Glue traps? If you like seeing spider carcasses.
Bug bombs? Great way to spread the colony and ruin your carpet.
What We Do:
We use commercial-grade products, targeted treatments, and strategy—like, actual science. Your peppermint oil doesn’t stand a chance.
Myth #3: “Pest Control Isn’t Worth It Unless It’s a Huge Problem”
Would you wait until your car engine explodes before getting an oil change? Exactly. The best pest control is proactive.
A few ants? Might be the scout team.
One mouse? Could be the tip of a very squeaky iceberg.
A couple wasps? Nest likely brewing somewhere nearby.
What We Do:
We offer seasonal pest plans that catch problems early and keep them from turning into full-blown invasions.
Myth #4: “Spiders Are Good to Have Around Because They Eat Other Bugs”
Ah yes, nature’s freeloading assassin. While technically true, spiders are not on your payroll, and most people don’t want to share a shower with one the size of a silver dollar.
Also: Some spiders in Utah County can bite. And they’re not shy about it.
What We Do:
We remove spiders and the bugs they feed on. Problem solved. No eight-legged freeloaders necessary.
Myth #5: “You Can Just Spray Once and Be Done”
We wish. Really. But pests aren’t one-and-done. Eggs hatch. Colonies rebuild. Seasons change. And bugs? Relentless.
Think of it like brushing your teeth: one time doesn’t do the trick.
🔧 What We Do:
We create a customized long-term prevention plan that keeps pests gone—not just temporarily stunned.
