Insect Control Company

Local, Safe Insect Control for Homes & Businesses

Finding insects in your kitchen, basement, office, or near entry points can be stressful—especially when you’re not sure how serious the problem is or who to trust. At Mountain West Pest Control, we provide professional, locally focused insect control services for homes and businesses throughout Salt Lake City, using treatments designed to be effective while keeping families, pets, employees, and customers in mind.

As a locally owned pest control company founded in 2017, we focus on clear communication, careful service, and solutions tailored to Salt Lake City’s climate and seasonal pest activity. From the first call to follow-up care, our goal is to make insect control straightforward and stress-free.

Why Choose Our Local Insect Control Team

When Salt Lake City residents search for an insect control company, they’re often looking for more than a quick spray. You want a team that understands local pest behavior, shows up when they say they will, and explains what’s happening in plain language.

Our technicians bring experience from larger pest control organizations while maintaining the responsiveness and accountability of a local company. We take the time to inspect properly, explain what we find, and recommend treatment plans that fit your property—not a one-size-fits-all approach.

We’re also proud to be a BBB-accredited pest control provider, recognized for consistent service quality and customer care. Safety is always central to how we work, and we use people- and pet-friendly methods whenever possible.

Insect Problems We Handle for Salt Lake City Properties

Insect activity in the Salt Lake Valley is influenced by dry summers, cool nights, and changing seasons. These conditions often drive insects indoors as temperatures shift.

We commonly help with:

• Ant infestations in kitchens, garages, and foundation areas
• Spiders in basements, storage rooms, and window wells
• Wasps and stinging insects nesting near eaves and entryways
• Roaches and other indoor insects in multi-unit or commercial spaces

Our treatments are designed to address both the insects you see and the conditions that allow them to thrive, helping reduce recurring issues.

Our Insect Control Process From First Call to Follow Up

Knowing what to expect can make reaching out for insect control much easier. Our process is designed to be clear, efficient, and tailored to your situation.

Step 1: Scheduling & Initial Questions

When you contact our office, we’ll ask a few questions about what you’re seeing, where activity is occurring, and how urgent the situation is. This helps us schedule the right service—often with same-day or emergency availability when possible.

Step 2: On-Site Inspection

Your technician performs a thorough inspection inside and outside the property, looking for insect activity, entry points, moisture issues, and nesting areas. This allows us to identify the specific insects involved and their likely sources.

Step 3: Custom Treatment Plan

Based on our findings, we design a targeted treatment plan using products and methods appropriate for the insect type, structure, and environment. We explain what will be treated, how long it takes, and what results to expect.

Step 4: Safety & Preparation

Before treatment begins, we review any preparation steps and safety considerations so you feel confident and informed throughout the visit.

Step 5: Follow-Up & Ongoing Options

Depending on the situation, a one-time treatment may be enough. For recurring insect pressure, we offer ongoing service plans to help maintain protection year-round.

What To Do When You Discover Insects in Your Home or Business

If you notice insect activity, a few simple steps can help limit the problem before service:

• Store food in sealed containers and wipe up spills
• Reduce clutter near walls and baseboards
• Avoid using multiple DIY sprays, which can make infestations harder to diagnose
• Take photos or note where insects are most active to share with your technician

For urgent situations—such as stinging insects near entrances or sudden infestations—calling promptly can prevent the problem from escalating.

Safe, Effective Treatments for Families, Pets, & Properties

One of the most common questions we hear is whether insect treatments are safe for kids and pets. Our approach focuses on careful product selection, targeted application, and clear communication so you know exactly what’s being used and why.

We apply treatments in cracks, crevices, and exterior areas where insects travel, minimizing unnecessary exposure inside living spaces. After service, we explain what you may notice and how to maintain protection between visits.

Year Round Protection & Service Guarantees

Insects aren’t just a summer problem in Utah. Seasonal changes often drive pests indoors during cooler months, making year-round protection an important consideration.

Our recurring insect control services focus on monitoring activity, reinforcing protective barriers, and adjusting treatments as conditions change. If issues arise between scheduled visits, we’re here to reassess and make adjustments as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Your Insect Treatments Safe for My Kids and Pets?

Yes, our treatments are selected and applied with the safety of your family and pets in mind. We use products that are designed to be safe for people and animals when used according to label directions, and our technicians focus on targeted applications rather than broad, unnecessary spraying. Before we begin, we explain any short term precautions, such as keeping children and pets out of a treated room for a specified period. We also answer any questions you have about where products will be applied and how they work. If you share specific concerns, such as allergies or sensitive conditions, we take those into account when planning your service.

How Quickly Can Your Team Come Out If I Have an Infestation?

Our goal is to respond as quickly as possible, especially when you are dealing with a significant infestation or a situation that affects safety or business operations. Response time depends on factors such as your location in the Salt Lake City area, the time of day you call, and the season, since some times of year are busier than others. We do offer same day and emergency availability when our schedule allows, and we will always let you know the earliest openings so you can decide what works best. If we cannot get there immediately, we can often provide short term guidance over the phone on what to do until we arrive.

What Should I Do Before Your Technician Arrives?

In most cases, only a few simple steps are needed before a visit. We may ask you to clear items away from baseboards in rooms with heavy insect activity, pick up clutter that could hide insects, or secure pets in a separate area for the duration of the service. If we are treating kitchens or food preparation areas, covering or putting away exposed food is helpful. When we schedule your appointment, our office staff can provide a short checklist tailored to the type of insect problem you describe. If anything more specific is required, your technician will explain it clearly before beginning treatment.

Will One Treatment Get Rid of My Insect Problem for Good?

Some insect issues improve significantly after a single treatment, while others benefit from a series of visits or ongoing maintenance. The outcome depends on the insect species, the size of the infestation, and conditions in and around your property. For example, a small ant problem that is caught early may respond quickly, while a long standing cockroach issue in a multi unit building typically requires repeated, coordinated efforts. Our service guarantees are designed to support you if insects continue to appear in treated areas within an agreed period. We will discuss realistic expectations with you before we start and recommend a plan that fits what we find during the inspection.

Do You Handle Both Homes and Businesses in the Salt Lake Area?

Yes, we provide insect control services for both residential and commercial properties throughout the Salt Lake region. Our team works in single family homes, townhomes, apartments, offices, retail spaces, restaurants, and other business environments. We understand that each property type has different needs, from protecting families and pets to maintaining a professional image for customers and tenants. During our inspection, we take note of how your space is used and adjust our approach accordingly, including scheduling and communication preferences.

How Much Does Professional Insect Control Usually Cost?

The cost of professional insect control varies based on several factors, including the size of your property, the type of insects involved, the severity of the infestation, and whether you choose one time service or ongoing protection. Because of these variables, we do not quote a single flat price for every situation. Instead, we assess your property and discuss your goals, then provide a clear estimate before work begins so you know what to expect. Our team strives to offer options where possible, such as different service intervals, so you can choose a plan that fits your budget and comfort level.

What Makes Your Insect Control Different From DIY Products?

Store bought sprays and traps can sometimes help with very small or isolated problems, but they often do not address the full picture. Our approach combines accurate identification of the insects, a detailed inspection of your property, and targeted treatments that reach nesting sites and entry points. We also look at conditions that may be drawing insects to your home or business and suggest practical changes when appropriate. Because we are in the Salt Lake City area every day, we understand how local climate and building styles affect insect behavior, which helps us choose the right methods for your situation. Many clients find that this combination of knowledge, equipment, and follow up support provides longer lasting relief than repeated DIY attempts.
