Local knowledge
Foothills bring their own pests
Sandy climbs from the valley floor up to benches below Little and Big Cottonwood canyons. The higher you go, the closer homes sit to scrub, sagebrush and open foothills.
That brings ticks along trails and brushy edges in spring, rock squirrels burrowing under porches and slabs, and wasps nesting in eaves and play sets. Basements and window wells are the fall entry points for hobo spiders and mice.
Lower neighborhoods deal with the valley's usual list: boxelder bugs, earwigs, ants and mice.
Local conditions
Ticks and fall spiders
In Utah, the Rocky Mountain wood tick is the main tick on people and pets and can transmit Colorado tick fever; ticks wait on grasses, low plants and sagebrush and are met most often from snowmelt through mid-July, which is foothill trail season for many Sandy families. Fall brings a different visitor: hobo spiders turn up inside homes across northern Utah from August through October, often through basement window wells.
Check pets and kids after foothill walks, and keep window wells clear before fall.
