Why do ants come inside in the summer?

In Southern Utah's heat, ants come inside looking for water as much as food. That's why you often see trails near sinks and bathrooms.

Are harvester ants dangerous?

Their sting is painful, and they can be a problem for kids and pets. We can treat mounds in your yard.

Which plan covers ants?

All of them. Ant control is included starting with our Basic plan. See Plans & Pricing.

Beaver, UT Pest Control

Beaver is the Beaver County seat, with historic brick homes, a busy stretch along I-15 and the Tushar Mountains rising to the east. Winters here are cold and long, which makes rodents the number-one pest problem for a lot of homes. Lava Rock Pest Control is locally owned in Southern Utah, and we serve Beaver homes too.

What we see in Beaver

Mice and rats. Cold weather sends rodents into basements, garages and walls. Older homes often have more ways in.
Spiders. Hobo, wolf and black widow spiders show up in basements, garages and window wells.
Wasps and yellowjackets. Summer nests under eaves, decks and play sets are common.
Ants. Ants come up through cracks in older foundations and along patios in spring.

Historic homes and mountain weather

Many homes in Beaver are decades old, with stone or brick foundations, old window frames and plenty of small gaps. We pay close attention to those entry points, especially before winter. Treating the outside perimeter in spring and fall keeps spiders and ants down when they're most active.

Through the seasons

In cooler, higher country like Beaver, ants and spiders get active as soon as spring warms the ground, and wasps build their nests through early summer. Late summer brings crickets and earwigs. The big push comes in fall, when the first cold nights send mice and pack rats looking for warm walls, attics and garages. Treating before fall is the best way to stay ahead of them.
