“All of the technicians who have come to service our home have been professional, polite, and friendly. They take time to answer questions and address concerns such as pet safety and organic gardening.” — Linda

How long does it take to get rid of pests?
It depends on the pest and situation. Our professionals inspect, recommend solutions, and guide you for long-term prevention.

“I was impressed with how quickly they addressed my spider problem. The technician explained everything clearly and within a couple of days, the spiders were gone.” — Jessica

Do you have to use chemicals to get rid of pests?
Not always. We use Integrated Pest Management (IPM), prioritizing non-chemical methods and only using pesticides as needed.

What products do you use?
A range of EPA-approved products, selected for your specific pest issue.

Are you licensed, bonded, and insured?
Yes, for your peace of mind.

Do you provide free estimates?
Yes, we offer free inspections and our Pest Professional will put a plan into place that will best fit your needs for you and your property. 

Why don’t you use power sprayers anymore?
We use more precise, modern tools for safety and effectiveness.

Is pest control safe during wet weather?
Yes. Some products work even better with moisture.

2. Scheduling & Rescheduling

Can you service my home in the rain?
Yes! Many products are moisture-activated and work better in wet weather. If the rain is too heavy, we’ll notify you and offer to reschedule.

“They did a very thorough job and have a pest-free guarantee which is nice. They also came during the time they said they would, which I liked.” — Melanie

What if I need to reschedule my appointment?
Just call or text us—whether for weather, illness, or convenience, we’ll work with you.

What if my technician is sick or unavailable?
We’ll notify you and reschedule as soon as possible.

What if access to my property is blocked (locked gate, pets, etc.)?
We’ll contact you to reschedule for a time when access is available.

“Excellent, fast service! I had a bug problem that came out of nowhere and immediately contacted Western Pest. They were able to come out the same day and take care of the problem, and it was resolved quickly! They are reliable, professional, and extremely friendly. The price was reasonable as well. I will definitely call them again when I have an issue.” — Sarah

Can I skip this month’s service?
We recommend regular service to maintain your pest barrier. Skipping can allow pests to re-establish.

3. Billing & Payments

Why was I billed but no service was performed that day?
Billing is independent of service dates. Monthly autopayments are processed on your chosen date (1st or 15th).

How do I update my payment method?
Contact us by phone or text to update your card or payment info. You can also access your customer portal via My Account located at the top right of our website.

What if I have a past due balance?
We’ll reach out to help you resolve it. Flexible solutions are available if you’re experiencing hardship.

Are there late fees?
A late fee of 5% per month may be charged after 30 days of non-payment.

4. Service Plans & Coverage

What happens during the first visit?

  • Conduct a thorough inspection of your property
  • Identify current and potential pest issues
  • Put a plan into place that will best fit your needs for you and your property
  • Perform initial treatment
  • Provide recommendations for pest prevention

What is included in the HomeGuard plan?
HomeGuard is our bi-monthly (every two months) plan. You get reminders before each visit and unlimited warranty visits between scheduled services at no extra cost.

“We have used three different pest control companies over the years and by far Western Pest has provided the best service out of the three. All of the technicians who have come to service our home have been professional, polite, and friendly. They are also quick to respond to any pest issues that arise. It’s getting harder and harder to find companies that provide excellent customer service and quality work. Western Pest does, and at a reasonable price. We won’t be switching companies again.” — Linda

What pests do you cover?
We target the most common Utah pests: ants, cockroaches, spiders, wasps, rodents, termites, bed bugs, mosquitoes, gophers, grubs, and more.

Do you offer one-time services?
In rare cases. We want to provide the best experience for our customers and have found that ongoing service is recommended for best results.

Is your service guaranteed?
Yes. If pests return between visits, we’ll come back at no extra charge.

“We have had Western Pest Services’ annual contracts for years. We live on more than an acre of woods and open land. The office staff and technicians are responsive, effective, professional, courteous, and respectful. They will work diligently to treat unwanted situations, always with a smile. Additionally, their well trained employees are long-term, so their familiar presence in your home is comfortable as they go right to work. Always a welcome sight to see the ‘cavalry’ arrive, ready and armed. A very good company to call for any situation as well as part of sound, routine protection for your home.” — Mary

5. Pest-Specific Treatments

Do you offer gopher control?
Yes, but only for regular pest control customers. We recommend combining gopher treatment with our HomeGuard plan.

What is grub control and how much does it cost?
Grubs are beetle larvae that damage lawns. Treatments start at ~$200/year with most properties covered under this price.

What does a termite inspection include?
A free termite inspection is included with HomeGuard plans. It involves a thorough risk assessment, checking for activity, damage, and conducive conditions.

“We installed your Termite Defensive a number of years ago and have not seen even one termite since the system was installed.” — Mike

6. Customer Support & Feedback

How do you notify customers about upcoming service?
We send personalized texts, emails, or calls before each visit.

How can I provide feedback or file a complaint?
Text, call, or email us anytime. We take complaints seriously and will arrange for a service manager to resolve any issues. Positive feedback is shared with your technician and team.

“Western Pest Control Rocks! The professional care, passion and work ethic from each and every member of the team was second to none – starting with their warm greeting at the door to wearing shoe covers & changing them each time they went in and out of my home (unbelievable)!! They did everything they promised: from telling me that they would be back the next day, to checking the traps they set, to spending time explaining everything in detail with great patience. This company is amazing!! Thank you for going above and beyond with such class and professionalism – qualities very rarely found in the service industry today. You saved my sanity and restored peace and calm in my home!! You are the very best!!” — Rebecca

Austin's work was VERY professional. He is courteous, knowledgeable and trustworthy. I received 3 bids on the work and I chose to go with Western partially because of Austin. He answered my questions thoroughly and paid close attention to details when he was working. He worked very hard and on a continual basis. I am a previous business owner and I would hire Austin. You better hold on to him! He is an outstanding representative to have for your company.

When we first moved into our house in July there were a ton of cockroaches and spiders. Since the first spray we really haven’t seen any bugs at all!

Kyle always does a killer job (pun intended) and is always friendly and polite. Highly recommend!

Scott Carroll is the best pest control technician ever. He was more than willing to do add ons right on the spot such as the whole interior of the house since we were just leaving. Since we had Western Pest Control take over, we have literally seen no pests inside or out. I'm not kidding you...Our old company used to spray something that would literally attract the scorpions for a few days after they were gone. Huge difference with Scott...can't say enough great things about him starting with an amazing attitude.
