Common Questions
In Orem, the most active pests during spring include ants, wasps, spiders, and rodents. These pests become more noticeable as temperatures increase.
Warmer temperatures and increased food availability cause pests to become more active and begin reproducing, which leads to more frequent sightings.
Most pests are more of a nuisance, but some—like wasps and certain spiders—can pose risks if disturbed or left untreated.
You can prevent pests by sealing entry points, keeping your home clean, eliminating moisture, and maintaining your yard.
