Reliable, Local Pest Control for Orem Homeowners
Nestled at the foot of Mount Timpanogos and bordered by Utah Lake, Orem is a scenic, family-friendly city—but it’s also home to a range of pest problems that come with the territory. From warm, dry summers to snowy winters, the seasonal swings in Utah County create year-round challenges for homeowners trying to keep pests out. Whether you live in the Orchard, Heatheridge, or Lakeview neighborhoods, pests are a reality for Orem residents.
That’s where Saela Pest Control comes in. As a trusted provider of pest control in Orem, we understand the city’s unique pest pressures and deliver safe, effective, and locally informed solutions to keep your home protected.
Common Pests That Trouble Orem Homeowners
The combination of Orem’s arid climate, high-desert geography, and suburban development creates the perfect habitat for several types of pests. Homes near foothills, older brick construction, and even new builds near fields or open lots can all be targets for infestation.
Field Ants
Ants are one of the most frequent pest complaints in Orem, especially during spring and summer. Field ants and pavement ants can invade kitchens, bathrooms, and basements in search of moisture and food, particularly in homes near irrigated landscaping or with slab foundations.
Wasps
Orem homeowners often discover paper wasp nests under eaves, deck railings, and play structures during the warmer months. Wasps are aggressive when disturbed and can pose a safety risk, particularly for families with children or pets who play outside.
Spiders
With plenty of undisturbed crawlspaces, garages, and basements in homes throughout North Orem and Hillcrest, spiders are a common problem. Hobo spiders and wolf spiders are often spotted indoors, especially in the fall when they seek shelter from the cooling temperatures.
Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes thrive in Orem’s summer heat, particularly near standing water sources like irrigation ditches, fountains, or rain gutters. Residents near UVU, Lakeside Park, or Geneva Road often experience elevated mosquito activity during peak season.
Why DIY Methods Fall Short
When pests appear, many homeowners turn to hardware store sprays or traps. While these may provide short-term relief, they rarely solve the root problem—especially in a climate like Orem’s where seasonal pests adapt quickly and infestations can run deep behind walls or under foundations.
Short-Term Effectiveness
Orem’s dry, dusty conditions can reduce the effectiveness of many over-the-counter treatments. Without professional-grade products and techniques, pests often return shortly after DIY efforts fade.
Hidden Nesting Areas
Rodents and insects often build nests inside crawlspaces, behind drywall, or near foundation cracks—places that most DIY products can’t reach. Treating only visible areas means missing the real source of the infestation.
Recurring Problems
Orem’s temperature extremes drive pests inside in both summer and winter. Without a seasonal, preventative approach, most pest problems will recur—even if they temporarily disappear after a DIY treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are the pest control methods Saela uses safe for children & pets?
Our licensed products are always applied with your safety in mind. We use products approved by the EPA and our methods target areas that promote exposure to pests but not to people and pets. We also vary the premium products and methods we use to avoid harm to the environment and prevent resistance among pest species.
What pests are covered with Saela treatment?
Our Protection Program covers 29 of the most common types of household pests. Everything ranging from mice, voles, wasps, spiders, ants, silverfish, earwigs, centipedes, scorpions, and many other pests are covered in your plan.
Are there any guarantees or warranties on your services?
Pests are very persistent, and every home brings a unique challenge. However, Saela has you protected no matter what. If pest activity returns, you are covered by free warranty services. Just let us know, and we will quickly be back to make sure you are taken care of. We also guarantee that we will only use premium pest management products on your home.
Is your service a one-time treatment?
We do not offer a one-time service because it simply would not take care of your pests. A one-time pest control service might take care of the adult pests around, but what about in a few weeks when their eggs hatch? Or what about when the weather and sun break down applied products and new pests arrive? Pests are always adapting and trying to find shelter in and around your home, so a consistent protection plan is the only way to keep them away.
There’s rain in the forecast. Does your treatment still work if it rains?
Absolutely. We only use the highest quality products. Our products are designed so that rain or water won’t wash them away..
Is Saela Pest Control a legitimate business?
Yes! With over 3.4 million services performed nationwide, Saela has maintained an A+ BBB rating with the Better Business Bureau. In addition, we have Associate Certified Entomologists on staff, and all of our service specialists are accredited by the National Pest Management Association. Everyone undergoes background checks and continuous training to provide world-class service for all customers.
How often would you recommend pest control service appointments?
After your first service, we return in just four weeks to control the pests hatched from any eggs left behind. This disrupts the hatching cycle of pests. After these first two treatments, we’ll be back every eight weeks. Maintaining the pest “barrier” to your home is crucial. The initial barrier we apply should be renewed once every other month year-round to protect you and your home from pests. Consistency is key to pest control that works.
What does routine Saela service entail?
With your guidance, the service specialist will start by inspecting the problem areas you have noticed, followed by a thorough inspection of the rest of the property. After review, your certified tech will have a plan of action to spot-treat and apply the protective barrier required to protect your home from pests.
How long does the service take?
The average duration for your treatment is between 30–45 minutes. However, depending on your situation, the appointment duration could be longer. Call 385-483-2064 for a free quote to receive an estimate on service duration that will match your specific needs.
