We provide affordable, reliable pest control services to homeowners throughout Salt Lake City, including The Avenues, Sugar House, Liberty Wells, Capitol Hill, Rose Park, Federal Heights, 9th & 9th, and East Bench.

Yes, our treatments are always kid- and pet-friendly. We use only EPA-registered products and train our Field Experts to follow label instructions to the letter. We recommend keeping kids and pets away from treated areas until they have had a chance to completely dry. This typically takes from 1 to 3 hours for indoor areas (depending on the airflow in your home), and around 30 minutes for outdoor areas (depending on the weather). Your Field Expert will provide guidance for re-entry times. If you keep pets in terrariums, aquariums, or bird cages, we may provide you with additional recommendations.

Salt Lake City experiences a wide range of pest problems throughout the year. Ants, cockroaches, and spiders are frequently found inside homes, drawn by food, water, and shelter. In yards and gardens, mosquitoes, ticks, and wasps flourish during the city’s hot, dry summers, especially where irrigation provides extra moisture. When temperatures drop, rodents such as mice and rats often move indoors in search of warmth and nesting spots. Together, these seasonal shifts make Salt Lake City especially favorable for pests to stay active year-round.

Store-bought pest products might seem convenient, but they often only address pests you can see, not the ones hiding behind walls and in other hidden areas. Professionals use specialized tools and knowledge to tackle infestations at their roots, offering a more thorough and lasting solution compared to temporary results from over-the-counter options.

Yes, we provide ongoing mosquito control services for homeowners in Salt Lake City. Our monthly fogging treatments target adult mosquitoes around yards and outdoor living spaces. Trained Field Experts return every 21 to 30 days during mosquito season to reapply treatments, helping reduce mosquito activity and keep your property more comfortable.

We treat for a wide range of spider species, including black widows, hobo spiders, and wolf spiders. Black widows are most often found in dark, undisturbed spots like garages. Hobo spiders tend to stay in basements, while wolf spiders move freely between yards and homes as they hunt for prey. We address these pests with a comprehensive approach: removing webs, applying targeted treatments to eliminate active spiders, and using preventive methods to reduce future activity. 

Utah’s hot, dry summers and cold winters shape how pests survive and spread. Low humidity outdoors drives moisture-seeking pests like ants, earwigs, and mosquitoes toward irrigated lawns and gardens. Temperature extremes also push pests to shift between outdoor habitats and indoor spaces in search of food, water, and shelter. Professional pest control can address these challenges with targeted, year-round solutions. 

Yes, Salt Lake City sees shifting pest activity throughout the year. Warm weather boosts ants, mosquitoes, and stinging insects because higher temperatures shorten their development time and increase feeding activity. Cooler months push rodents and spiders indoors as they search for warmth and shelter. Moisture from irrigation creates damp soil and standing water, which mosquitoes and other insects rely on to survive. Since these conditions shift throughout the year, Moxie’s pest control experts can adapt treatments to stop pests before they become a serious problem.

Seeing more visible pests after the first treatment is not a cause for alarm. In fact, it’s evidence that the treatment is working, as the pests have had their normal routines disrupted. After your one-month follow-up treatment, you should notice a marked decline in pest activity. If your pest problem reemerges between our scheduled visits, Moxie offers free warranty reservice visits to all customers on our year-round plans.
