If you’ve found yourself Googling “pest control company near me,” there’s a good chance you’re already dealing with something crawling, flying, or nesting a little too close for comfort. And you’re not alone. Folks from St. George to Cedar City (and all the little towns in between) know the Southern Utah landscape is beautiful—but it also comes with its fair share of pests.
The truth is, pests don’t wait for a convenient time to invade your home. That’s why having a trusted local pest control team in your corner makes all the difference.
Timing Is Everything: Understanding Seasonal Pests in Southern Utah
One of the most common questions we get is, “When should I call a pest control company?” And the honest answer is: before the pests show up. Here’s why:
Spring
- Ants start marching as soon as the weather warms up. They trail along baseboards and kitchen counters, looking for crumbs and water sources.
- Wasps begin building nests in eaves, attics, and patio corners, especially in undisturbed areas.
- Spiders, especially black widows, start creeping into garages, sheds, and around foundation cracks where they can go unnoticed.
Summer
- Peak time for cockroaches, scorpions, and wasps. High temps drive them indoors in search of cooler, damp places.
- Scorpions become more active at night and are commonly found in shoes, sinks, and bathtubs.
- Lawn activity, including mowing and gardening, stirs up ant colonies and underground nests, sending bugs into nearby homes.
Fall
- Rodents start looking for warm, dry shelter—your attic, garage, or kitchen pantry look mighty inviting.
- Bugs move in to escape dropping temps, especially earwigs, crickets, and beetles.
- Spiders spin webs in quiet corners inside the house, setting up shop for the winter.
Winter
- It may seem quieter, but many pests are nesting out of sight—inside walls, under appliances, or in attic insulation.
- Rodents remain active and can reproduce quickly in warm indoor spaces.
- Preventative treatment now can interrupt breeding cycles and stop spring outbreaks before they start.
Bottom line? Southern Utah pest control isn’t a one-and-done thing. It’s a seasonal rhythm. And the best time to start is before you’re dealing with a full-blown infestation.
Why Choosing a Local Pest Control Company Matters

Whether it’s a scorpion hiding in your shoe or a mouse in your pantry, we’ve seen it all (and handled it more times than we can count).

What to Expect When You Call Newby’s
When you reach out, here’s what we do:
- Inspect: We don’t just glance around—we take our time. We’ll check inside, outside, behind appliances, in crawl spaces, garages, attics, and anywhere pests are likely to hide or enter. We’re looking for signs of activity, entry points, and nesting spots you may not even know exist.
- Plan: Once we know what we’re dealing with, we’ll walk you through it in plain English—no technical jargon. We explain what we found, what it means for your home, and what steps we recommend. You’ll always know what’s happening and why.
- Treat: We use the right products for the right pests. That means eco-friendly, family-safe solutions that are tough on bugs but gentle on your home. Treatments might include perimeter sprays, bait stations, dusts, or spot treatments depending on your needs.
- Follow Up: We don’t just spray and walk away. We schedule follow-up visits to ensure the pests are gone and stay gone. If something pops up in between, we’re just a phone call away and happy to come back out.
And no, we don’t believe in scare tactics or pushy upsells. Just honest, effective work from a team you can trust—neighbors helping neighbors, the way it should be.
