PEST CONTROL iN LAYTON, UT

It is important to know what pests you may find in your yard and what types of issues they may cause. While the presence of some pests may not require immediate action, other pests may pose much more of a threat to the safety of your yard and your loved ones. The following are just a few of the pests that are commonly found in Utah:

• Boxelder Bugs – These bugs are known for their black and orange colors on their backs, as well as the damage they can cause. Boxelder bugs feed on leaves and flowers, causing plants to wilt and die. They frequently congregate in large groups on the sunny side of houses, and they leave horrible excrement stains all over the interior of homes. Our protective pesticide barrier will keep these annoying bugs outside and away from your property.

• Scarab Beetles – The presence of scarab beetles often means your lawn has a grub infestation. Lawn grubs are the larvae of scarab beetles, and, while the adult beetles will feed on and destroy your turfgrass, their grubs will feed on the roots under the soil. These beetles and their offspring destroy every area of your lawn and should be dealt with promptly. Ask us about our grub and billgub preventer that is included with our fertilization and weed control service!

• Ants – Though common ants are relatively harmless to humans, you still do not want to see a line of them marching into your home. Ants love to look for tiny cracks along the exterior of your home (such as doors and windows) where they can enter. Our pest control treatments will help keep these insects outside where they belong. 

• Spiders – Some spiders are virtually harmless to humans, but others can bite and lead to serious injuries that require immediate medical attention. Many types of spiders will stay hidden under brush and fallen leaves in your yard, and you may not be aware of them until you are relaxing on your lawn and unexpectedly get bitten by one. Avoid this danger by calling Tuxedo Yard Care, and we will help get your property safe and spider-free!

• Wasps & Hornets – Both of these flying insects can and will sting humans when they feel threatened. You do not want to ignore the presence of wasps and/or hornets in your yard, especially if you have children running around your home. Nests can form in trees, under awnings, and many other hidden places across your property. Before someone stumbles across a dangerous wasp or hornet nest in your yard, call the technicians at Tuxedo to make your home safe!
