Signs You Need to Schedule a Pest Control Service 

Pest infestations can often go unnoticed until they’ve caused significant damage, especially if you’re not familiar with the signs to watch for. Early detection is key to preventing serious issues, as many pests are discreet in their behavior and may hide in hard-to-reach areas. 

Common signs that you need professional pest control include:

• Visible pests: Seeing pests indoors, especially during the day, indicates they have established a presence.
• Unusual odors: A musty or unpleasant smell could suggest the presence of pests like rodents or cockroaches. Foul odors often stem from nesting areas or decaying insects.
• Droppings: Finding droppings or fecal matter around your property, particularly near food sources, is a strong indication that pests are active. 
• Damaged wood or structures: Holes, tunnels, or soft, spongy wood are signs of wood-destroying pests.
• Gnaw marks: If you notice any gnaw marks on furniture, walls, wiring, insulation, or packaging, it’s time to act.
• Nesting materials: If you find shredded paper, fabric, or other materials piled up in hidden areas, pests may be using them for nesting.
• Strange noises: Hearing scratching, scurrying, or chirping noises from walls or ceilings could mean you have a pest problem.
• Damage to plants or garden: If you notice plants being eaten, stripped of leaves, or wilting, pests like aphids, caterpillars, or rodents may be responsible.

If you notice any of these signs, it’s essential to schedule a pest control service with Utah Pest to address the issue before it escalates. The sooner you act, the easier and more cost-effective it will be to eliminate the pests and protect your property.
