Orem is one of Utah County’s largest and most diverse cities, and that diversity extends to its pest environment. From the east bench neighborhoods at the base of Mount Timpanogos to the Utah Lake shoreline on the west, from the bustling University Parkway corridor to the quiet mid-century residential streets, Orem covers a remarkable range of terrain and housing types. The east bench homes face deer mice from Provo Canyon and the mountain. The student housing areas near UVU deal with bed bug and cockroach issues common to multi-unit rentals. The lake shore properties contend with moisture-loving pests and lake-origin rodents. Serve Pest Control covers all of Orem. We treat single-family homes, student apartments, commercial properties, and everything in between. Every property gets a plan built around its specific location and use.
Process for Orem Homes & Properties
We sweep out and knock down any honeycombs and cobwebs in the eaves up to 35 ft.
We treat every entry point of the home on the ground level including doors, windows, and the garage.
Also known as the “crack and crevice” treatment. Our power sprayer will seal up any open spaces along the foundation of the home, giving pests no chance of entering the home from the ground.
Our technicians will walk around the perimeter of your home, spreading a granule that will sink deep into the soil, providing a 15ft barrier from the foundation into the yard.
Every house is different. If you have pests in a strange area on your property, let us know and we will service the requested area.
We won't just protect your house, we'll protect your property by setting a fence line perimeter.
Our Orem service starts with understanding the property type and location. East bench homes near the canyon get aggressive rodent exclusion. Student housing and apartment complexes get shared-wall pest management and bed bug monitoring. Lake shore properties get moisture-loving insect control and lake-origin rodent baiting. Commercial properties along University Parkway and State Street get discreet, health department-compliant service. For Orem’s older mid-century homes in the central neighborhoods, we focus on foundation evaluation and crawl space sealing. Our technicians know every part of this city and adjust their approach accordingly. Every service includes a detailed inspection, targeted treatment, and clear recommendations.
Pavement ants and thatching ants are the most common ant species across Orem. Thatching ants are found in lawns on the east bench. Moisture ants are more prevalent near the lake shore. Granular baits and perimeter sprays provide effective control in all areas.
Black widow spiders are very common throughout Orem. The student housing areas, older garages, landscaping rock, and lake shore properties all provide abundant habitat. Hobo spiders are also widespread. Sealing foundation gaps and regular web removal are essential preventive measures citywide.
German cockroaches are a significant concern in Orem’s student housing and multi-unit apartment complexes near UVU. Shared-wall construction and high tenant turnover create conditions where cockroaches thrive. Coordinated building-wide treatment with gel baits and growth regulators is essential for any hope of long-term control.
Deer mice from the east bench foothills and Norway rats from the lake shore create dual rodent pressure across Orem. The university area also sees rodent activity from the density of restaurants and commercial food service. Fall exclusion is critical citywide.
Subterranean termites are present on Orem’s east bench where favorable soil conditions exist. The west side near the lake has lower termite risk. Homes with wood-to-ground contact and those with foundation moisture issues should have annual inspections regardless of location.
Bed bugs are a significant concern in Orem, particularly in student housing, apartment complexes, and hotels near UVU. The high turnover of student tenants and travel exposure creates constant introduction risk. We offer K-9 detection for larger properties and fast heat treatment for confirmed cases.
Orem is one of the most dynamic cities in Utah County, and we love serving it. From the UVU campus to the lake shore, from the east bench to the commercial corridors, we help keep Orem pest-free.
The thing that makes Orem unique is the sheer variety. On any given day, we might treat a mid-century home in an established neighborhood, a student apartment complex near UVU, a lakefront property, and a restaurant on University Parkway. Each of those properties has completely different pest challenges, and we adjust our approach for each one.
The student housing near UVU is one of our busiest segments in Orem. High tenant turnover, shared walls, and frequent travel mean bed bugs and cockroaches are constant concerns. We work closely with property managers to maintain year-round monitoring and fast response protocols.
Orem is a city on the move, with all the diversity and energy that brings. Serve Pest Control is proud to be part of it, keeping homes, apartments, and businesses pest-free.
