Living along the Wasatch Front means dealing with a climate of extremes. We go from heavy winter snows that drive mice into our basements to bone-dry summers that send spiders and ants hunting for moisture in our kitchens. While many residents see a wandering spider or a scurrying mouse as a simple annoyance, the reality is far more serious. In the Beehive State, our local pests are frequently carriers of bacteria, allergens, and venom that can compromise the sanctuary of your home or the safety of your workplace.
