Local knowledge
Next to the canyons
Cottonwood Heights climbs from Fort Union up to the mouths of Big and Little Cottonwood canyons, with mostly single-family homes on sloping lots backing onto scrub oak, sagebrush and trailheads.
Rock squirrels burrow under decks and slabs, ticks wait on brushy edges in spring, and wasps nest in eaves and scrub oak all summer. Basements bring hobo spiders and mice as the weather cools.
Our Redwood Road office covers Cottonwood Heights on regular routes.
Local conditions
Ticks and fall spiders
Utah ticks wait on grasses, low plants and sagebrush for a passing host, which describes the slopes behind most Cottonwood Heights homes, and most bites come in spring and early summer. Fall brings a different visitor: USU Extension says hobo spiders turn up inside Utah homes most often from August through October, when males wander looking for mates, and basements on the bench make easy targets.
Keep brush trimmed back from the house and clear window wells before September.
