What Causes Rodent Infestations?

Rodents thrive anywhere humans live, store food, or dispose of waste. Mice and rats in Salt Lake City seek shelter in homes and businesses, especially as temperatures drop in the fall and winter. These pests can:

  • Enter buildings through tiny openings (mice can squeeze through holes the size of a dime).
  • Climb, jump, and swim to access food and shelter.
  • Hitch rides in cargo, trucks, and other transportation methods.

Why Rodents Are a Major Concern

Rodents pose serious risks to homes and businesses in Salt Lake City:

  • Health Hazards: Rodents spread diseases such as salmonella and leptospirosis.
  • Property Damage: Rats and mice chew through walls, insulation, and even electrical wiring, increasing the risk of fires.
  • Economic Impact: For restaurants, healthcare facilities, and commercial properties, a rodent infestation can result in lost business and reputational damage.

Because rodents are small and often hide in attics, basements, walls, and crawl spaces, many infestations go unnoticed until droppings, gnawed food packages, or strange noises appear.

Common Rodents in Salt Lake City

House Mouse

  • Small (3-4 inches in body length, plus a tail of equal length)
  • Can enter through openings as small as ¼ inch
  • Feeds primarily on grains but will consume almost anything
  • Rapid reproduction: One female can produce up to 56 offspring per year

Norway Rat

  • Large (7.5–9.5 inches long, with a tail up to 8 inches)
  • Prefers nesting in basements, burrows, or near garbage and water sources
  • Can enter through holes as small as ½ inch
  • Chews through wood, plastic, and even metal to reach food

Effective Rodent Control Strategies

The best way to prevent a rodent infestation is through proactive measures:

✔ Seal Entry Points: Close off small holes, cracks, and gaps where rodents can enter.
✔ Maintain Cleanliness: Store food properly, keep trash sealed, and remove clutter.
✔ Professional Rodent Control: Routine inspections and expert extermination ensure long-term protection.

The Only Thing Left Buzzing is Praise Customer Reviews

    "Quality and expertise. Awesome service!"

    Anthony was outstanding- really responsive and willing to come out on a Saturday to start taking on some pest control. Just a week later, and there are no more bug problems. It speaks to their quality and expertise. Anthony also took extra time to give my wife and me (new homeowners) some lawn care pointers. Just awesome service!

    Jason W.
    "Timely and professional. Highly recommend!"
    Anthony was excellent! I called last minute looking for help with the elm seed bugs going on this year. He picked right up after hours and was out as quickly as his schedule allowed. Timely and professional. Highly recommend!
    Aaron R.
    "Anthony was amazing! He was professional and understanding."
    Anthony was amazing! He was able to have my house serviced in just a few hours. I had a flying ant infestation and he could tell the concern in my voice. When he was here, he was professional and understanding. We will definitely hire him in the future for anything else that comes up!

    "He is very dependable and easy to work with. He offers quarterly service so we are covered year-round."

    Anthony has been serving our home for several years. He is very dependable and easy to work with. He offers quarterly service so we are covered year-round. The best thing about the service is there are no spiders or ants and it is safe to use around my dogs and cats. I would definitely recommend Apex Pest and Lawn if you are looking for someone who is reliable and still gives you that local, small-business feel.

    "He is always thorough and stands behind his work to make sure the customer is taken care of."

    Anthony is in my opinion one of the most knowledgeable and best professionals to work with. We have used his service for several years now at our home and business. He is dependable and very price-competitive. He is always thorough and stands behind his work to make sure the customer is taken care of. I will continue to use his service for as long as needed.

    "I would highly recommend Apex and look forward to future visits from them! Thanks guys!"

    Anthony was so professional on the phone, answering all of my questions and was very informative with things I didn’t even think about! Cory was very courteous and professional while treating my backyard for wasps and inside for normal pests. My favorite part was the fact that I called the evening before and they were at my house to spray the next morning (even early to our scheduled time)! I would highly recommend Apex and look forward to future visits from them! Thanks guys!

    "Anthony and his team are great and always very kind."

    APEX started treating my home almost 7 years ago and I’ve been satisfied every single time my home is treated. I am deathly afraid of spiders and when my home is sprayed, I never see any! Anthony and his team are great and always very kind. I recommend APEX to anyone who wants fast results in getting rid of pests!
