Common calls
What Millcreek homes call about most
Local knowledge
Established homes below the canyon
Millcreek is one of the larger cities in the valley, mostly established neighborhoods of ramblers and older homes with basements, plus newer townhomes around Millcreek Common and Highland Drive.
Mature trees bring elm seed bugs and boxelder bugs to sunny walls. Basements and window wells bring spiders and mice in fall, and homes near Olympus Cove and the canyon mouth deal with ticks and rock squirrels.
Our Redwood Road office covers Millcreek on regular routes.
Local conditions
Ticks near the canyon, bugs on the walls
In Utah the Rocky Mountain wood tick is the main tick on people and pets and can transmit Colorado tick fever; it's met most often from snowmelt through mid-July, the same months families hike up Millcreek Canyon. Elm seed bugs are the summer story lower down: first confirmed in Utah in 2014 from Salt Lake County, they're now widely distributed along the Wasatch Front and pile onto hot walls in mid-summer.
Check pets after canyon walks, and seal gaps around sunny windows before July.
