Local knowledge
Hillside homes near the foothills
Federal Heights sits on the hill between the Avenues and the University of Utah, with large older homes on sloping, tree-filled lots and Red Butte Creek running nearby.
Brushy slopes and the foothills behind bring ticks and rock squirrels close to the house. Older stone and brick foundations let spiders and mice in, and mature trees host wasp nests through summer.
Our Redwood Road office covers Federal Heights on regular routes.
Local conditions
Foothill ticks and fall spiders
Utah ticks wait on grasses, low plants and sagebrush for a passing host, which describes the brushy slopes behind Federal Heights. Most bites come in spring and early summer. Fall brings spiders instead: USU Extension says hobo spiders turn up in Utah homes most often from August through October, when males wander looking for mates, and the older basements here make easy targets.
Keep brush trimmed back from the house and check pets after walks on the hillside.
