What people ask us
How do I choose a pest control provider?
Ask for a written quote, a list of the pests they treat, and what each visit includes. Confirm the provider is licensed in Utah and carries insurance, and ask to see proof. Be careful with anyone who pushes a long contract before looking at your home. Deservessorts Pest Control is a referral service, so independent providers in our network do the inspection and treatment.
Who actually does the work if I contact Deservessorts Pest Control?
Independent providers do all of it. Deservessorts Pest Control is a referral service and does not treat homes. When you request a callback or send the request form, your details go to a local provider in our network who fits your problem. The provider sets the visit time, the price and the treatment plan. Deservessorts Pest Control does not send workers or sign your work agreement. Any quote or contract is between you and the provider.
How soon should I act on early signs of pests?
Catch it early. Droppings, gnaw marks, ant trails, mud tubes on foundation walls or small piles of wood dust all mean something is already settled in. Take clear photos, write down where you saw them, and seal what you can reach. Many providers can respond quickly, but availability varies. Request a callback to check provider availability in West Jordan.
How much does pest control cost?
Costs vary by pest, home size and how far the problem has spread. As typical U.S. ranges, a one-time ant or spider treatment often runs about $100 to $300. Rodent work can run from a few hundred dollars to well over a thousand. Termite and bed bug treatment usually cost more. Always get a written quote before work starts.
What can I do myself before calling someone?
Check, seal, then call. Wipe up crumbs and spills, store pet food in tight bins, and fix drips under sinks. Seal small gaps around pipes with caulk or steel wool. Photograph what you find. Skip heavy sprays indoors. Stop and call a provider if the signs keep coming back.
Does dry air at altitude mean fewer pests?
Not really. Dry air pushes pests toward water, so they head for kitchens, bathrooms and basements. Cold snaps send mice indoors, and fast spring melt can drive ants and other insects toward the house. Hail and sun can crack stucco and wood trim, which opens new gaps. Walk your exterior each season.
Will my homeowners insurance cover pest damage?
It depends on your policy. Some policies may cover sudden damage, while slow damage from termites or rodents is often excluded. Check your policy and ask your agent before you assume anything. Providers can often help document damage for a claim, so ask for a written report and keep your photos.
When is it time to stop DIY and call for wildlife or bed bug help?
Stop when you hear scratching in walls or the attic, find bites with no clear cause, or see live pests after your own cleanup. Wildlife removal and bed bug treatment are not safe or effective as home projects. Animals can bite or have young inside. Providers do the work, so request an estimate.
