Common Pests In Spanish Fork, Utah


mosquito icon

Anopheles Mosquitoes

Anopheles mosquitoes are brownish-yellow in color with a body length of up to 5 millimeters. They are predominantly active at night in Spanish Fork, UT and have no preference as to where on the body they will latch onto their host to feed. These mosquitoes require water to complete their lifecycle and specifically for laying eggs. They are known for transmitting malaria. Keep them at bay with citronella candles and mosquito zappers.


termite icon

Subterranean Termites

Subterranean termites have long, oval-shaped, dark brown bodies with milky colored wings. They can grow up to an 1/8th of an inch in size. Residing entirely underground, subterranean termites are difficult to detect. Their diet consists of wood that is typically in direct contact to soil and other forms of cellulose. Wood that comes in direct contact with soil around homes or buildings will need a chemical barrier in order to help prevent infestations.


cockroach icon

German Cockroaches

The German cockroach is a small, winged cockroach that is native to Asia but has become a common household pest throughout Utah. It is a light brown or tan color and can grow to be about a half inch long. The German cockroach is a nocturnal insect, hiding in dark, warm places during the day and coming out at night to feed on organic matter. It is particularly attracted to sources of food and moisture, such as kitchen and bathroom areas. The German cockroach is a major pest in homes, restaurants, and other buildings, as it can reproduce quickly and can be difficult to control once an infestation has occurred.


ant icon

Pogonomyrmex occidentalis

Pogonomyrmex occidentalis are more commonly known as Western Harvester Ants. They have red colored bodies and grow to be about 1/4 of an inch in length. They prefer to nest in loose soil and work to remove any plants from the area so the roots don’t interfere with the nest. Colonies can grow to populations of over 20,000 ants. Their diet consists of insects and seeds which the worker ants bring back to the colony on their backs to share with others.


rodent icon

Deer Mice

Deer mice, commonly recognized by their typical round and brown appearance, possess cream-colored underbellies and elongated tails, reaching sizes ranging from 5 to 8 inches in length. During colder seasons, they seek refuge indoors, nesting among cluttered storage areas or small, cave-like spaces in Spanish Fork households. Omnivorous in nature, they feed on both plants and insects.


spider icon

Hobo Spider

Hobo spiders are not distinct looking, making them difficult to identify. They have a brown body color and gray and yellow markings on their abdomens. They have particularly long legs and can grow to be about 1/2 an inch in size. Hobo spiders construct funnel-shaped webs which they use to trap prey such as flies, cockroaches, mosquitoes and other small insects. Due to the fact that they are poor climbers, they typically reside underground and are commonly found in cracks and crevices, and in basements and window wells.


stinging insect icon

Forest Yellowjackets

Forest Yellowjackets, known for their classic black and yellow wasp coloration, have a body length of up to 15 millimeters. They typically construct their nests high in the forest trees of Utah. Forest Yellowjackets are known for their aggressive behavior when disturbed or threatened. These wasps build smaller nests, which can house around 500 individuals. They obtain nutrition from nectar and are attracted to sugary substances.


tick icon

Brown Dog Ticks

Brown Dog Ticks are a warm reddish-brown color when male and more of a steel color when female. Prior to feeding they are about 1/8th of an inch in size. After latching onto a host and sucking blood, they expand up to 1/2 of an inch in length. Unlike most ticks, they thrive indoors. This particular species of hard tick latches onto dogs and people to gain entrance into your Spanish Fork, UT home and then will remain indoors for the remainder of its life. Try using eucalyptus oil or diatomaceous earth to get rid of them.
