Local knowledge
Older homes under a big tree canopy
Sugar House is one of Salt Lake City's established neighborhoods, with many early twentieth-century brick bungalows and cottages alongside newer townhomes and apartments near Highland Drive and the business district.
Older foundations, basements and window wells let spiders, earwigs and mice in. The neighborhood's mature trees, including plenty of elms, bring elm seed bugs onto sunny walls in mid-summer and wasps into eaves and branches.
Our Redwood Road office covers Sugar House on regular routes.
Local conditions
Older homes and a newer summer pest
Salt Lake City's median home was built in 1965 and about a quarter of homes predate 1940, and Sugar House holds a good share of those older houses, with settled foundations and window wells that let pests in. Summer brings a newer problem: elm seed bugs were first confirmed in Utah in 2014 from Salt Lake County and are now widely distributed along the Wasatch Front, swarming hot walls near elm trees in mid-summer.
Sealing gaps around older window frames helps with both spiders in fall and elm seed bugs in summer.
