Ogden's position along the Wasatch Front, bordered by foothills, open land, and mature urban neighborhoods, creates conditions that favor a handful of pests that don't get as much national attention as they deserve. We know these pests well because we've been treating them here for decades.
Rocky Mountain Wood Ticks are a real concern in the Ogden area, especially for households near the foothills, trail corridors, and properties that back up to open land. Tick activity peaks in spring and early summer, when the grass is long and wildlife movement is highest. Ticks don't just stay in the backcountry. They hitch rides on pets, kids, and adults and end up in yards and living spaces.
Our tick treatment targets the yard perimeter, tall grass zones, brush lines, and entry points where ticks are most likely to be waiting. After treatment, you can expect a meaningful reduction in tick activity through the active season. We use pet-safe treatment options and can schedule follow-up visits if your property borders heavy wildlife habitat.
If you've lived in an Ogden neighborhood with mature boxelder trees, you already know what fall looks like. Boxelder bugs cluster in large numbers on warm south-facing exterior walls, then work their way into gaps around windows, doors, utility penetrations, and siding. They don't bite or cause structural damage, but they invade in numbers that make them genuinely unpleasant to deal with indoors.
Our approach combines an exterior perimeter spray with attention to the entry points they use to get inside. Recurring prevention plans are especially effective here because they address the pressure before it builds. Customers who stay on a plan typically see year-over-year improvement as the population around their home is consistently reduced.
Elm seed bugs are a relatively recent arrival to northern Utah, and homeowners frequently mistake them for boxelder bugs. They're a distinct pest with similar behavior: they aggregate on warm exterior surfaces and push indoors through small gaps as temperatures shift in late spring and again in fall.
The key to managing elm seed bugs is timing. Exterior treatment in late spring, before they start moving indoors, is the most effective approach. If they've already made it inside, we add an interior treatment to address what's present. We track down the source fast and get your perimeter treated before the next wave arrives.
Seeing ants on the counter or droppings in the pantry? That's the moment most people finally call. We'd rather you call before it gets to that point, but either way, we're ready to help.
We handle the full range of common household pests: ants, cockroaches, spiders (including black widow spiders, which are present in Utah), mice and rats, wasps and hornets, yellowjackets, silverfish, fleas, ticks, house centipedes, and seasonal invaders like cluster flies, miller moths, and western conifer seed bugs. If it's moving through your home uninvited, we have a treatment for it.
We work with single-family homeowners, renters, landlords, and property managers across Weber County. Move-in pest treatments are a smart starting point for new homeowners or anyone taking over a rental property. Getting a clean baseline before you move in saves a lot of headaches later.
Our pricing is transparent with no hidden fees on any treatment. You'll know what you're getting before we start. Call today and we'll set your appointment.
Most property managers and business owners can't tell a minor pest issue from a growing one until it becomes visible to customers or tenants. At that point, the damage to your reputation has already started. We help commercial clients stay ahead of that problem with scheduled service that fits around your operations.
We serve offices, restaurants, retail spaces, warehouses, rental properties, and multi-unit buildings throughout the Ogden area. Discretion matters in commercial settings, and we schedule visits to minimize disruption. All commercial work is performed by licensed pest control technicians who understand the specific requirements of food-service environments, tenant-occupied buildings, and high-traffic commercial spaces.
Our commercial accounts run on integrated pest management principles: regular monitoring, targeted treatments, and a prevention focus that reduces chemical use over time while keeping pest pressure consistently low. Reach out and we'll get it inspected.
Don't let a few pests turn into a full infestation, because the cost and effort to resolve it only grows the longer it goes unaddressed. We offer treatment options designed to fit different situations and budgets.
A one-time treatment makes sense when you have a specific, isolated problem. A wasp nest in the eaves, a sudden ant invasion, a rodent entry point that needs to be addressed. We come out, treat the problem, and leave you with a clear picture of what was done.
Recurring plans are the better choice for ongoing protection. We offer quarterly and bi-monthly service options. Each visit includes a perimeter treatment, an inspection for new activity, and interior spot treatment where needed. The perimeter and interior treatments work together to keep pests from establishing a foothold.
Every plan starts with a pest inspection so we understand what's present, what conditions are attracting pests, and where entry points exist. Same-day pest control service is available when you can't wait for a scheduled appointment.
No guesswork. No shortcuts. No hidden charges.
A typical visit starts with an inspection. We walk the property, look for signs of activity, identify entry points, and check harborage areas where pests like to hide and breed. In Ogden-area homes, crawl spaces are a common problem zone. Moisture, debris, and limited airflow create ideal conditions for rodents, silverfish, carpenter ants, and other pests.
After the inspection, we move to treatment. Interior treatment addresses active areas inside the home. Exterior barrier application creates a perimeter that intercepts pests before they get inside. We also identify and address entry points, gaps around pipes, cracks in the foundation, and poorly sealed door frames, as part of a complete approach.
Harborage reduction is part of what we discuss with every customer. Removing conditions that attract and shelter pests makes every treatment more effective and longer-lasting. Our treatments are safe for families and pets, and we'll tell you exactly what to expect after we're done.
We serve Ogden and the communities around it throughout Weber County and beyond. That includes North Ogden, South Ogden, Roy, Riverdale, Clearfield, and Layton, along with neighborhoods and properties throughout the wider area.
We're locally owned and personally accountable for the work we do. When you call, you reach someone who knows this area and understands the pest pressures that come with it. We've been part of this community for a long time, and that matters to us.

The most obvious sign is seeing a trail of ants moving between a food source and a wall, cabinet, or floor gap. Other signs include small piles of sawdust-like material near wood structures, which can indicate carpenter ants, and scattered forager ants that appear even when no food is visible. If ants keep coming back after you treat them yourself, the colony is likely established somewhere inside the structure.
Common signs include droppings along baseboards or in cabinets, gnaw marks on food packaging or structural materials, disturbed insulation in crawl spaces or attics, and sounds of movement in walls or ceilings at night. A single mouse or rat sighting indoors almost always means there are more nearby, and the problem grows quickly if it is not addressed.
We locate the nest, identify the species, and treat it with the appropriate product and application method for that situation. Nests in wall voids require a different approach than exposed nests under eaves or in landscaping. After treatment, we advise on whether the nest structure needs to be removed and what to watch for if a secondary colony tries to establish nearby.
Yes. Same-day pest control service is available for situations that cannot wait for a scheduled appointment. Call us at (801) 459-8789, describe what you are seeing and where, and we will let you know when a technician can arrive. Urgent situations like an active wasp nest near a doorway or a rodent moving through a kitchen are exactly the kind of calls we prioritize.
Stay away from the area where the pest activity is concentrated, especially with stinging insects or rodents. Do not attempt to treat a wasp nest yourself before we arrive. For rodents, avoid disturbing droppings without proper protection. Keeping children and pets away from the affected area is the most important step until we get there.
We start with an inspection of the interior and exterior to identify active pests, entry points, and harborage conditions. After the inspection, we apply the appropriate treatments: an exterior perimeter barrier, interior spot treatments where needed, and targeted applications in problem zones like crawl spaces, wall voids, or attics. We close the visit by explaining what was done and what to expect in the following days.
Yes, significantly. Pest pressure in northern Utah follows seasonal patterns. Carpenter ants and Rocky Mountain wood ticks are most active in spring. Miller moths and stinging insects are a summer concern. Boxelder bugs and elm seed bugs aggregate in fall. Rodents push indoors as temperatures drop. Our treatment plans are built around these cycles so we are treating the right pests at the right time.
For isolated, contained events like a single yellowjacket nest or a move-in treatment for a property with no active infestation, a one-time visit is often sufficient. For pests that follow seasonal patterns or that are tied to ongoing conditions around the property, a recurring plan is more effective. We will tell you honestly which approach fits your situation after the inspection.
If pest activity returns between scheduled visits, call us and we will come back out. Return visits for covered pests are part of what you are paying for with a recurring plan. You should not have to wait for your next scheduled appointment if something comes up in the meantime.
Call us at (801) 459-8789 and we will start with an inspection to assess what is present and what conditions are contributing to pest pressure on your property. From there we recommend a schedule, either quarterly or bi-monthly, and explain the pricing before you commit to anything. The first visit establishes the baseline, and each subsequent visit builds on it.
The most common reason for additional cost is a significantly larger property or a more severe infestation than what was described over the phone. We assess the full scope during the inspection and explain any adjustments before we proceed. We do not add charges after the visit for work that was already part of the original plan.
Rodent exclusion involves identifying and sealing the entry points that mice and rats are using to get inside. This includes gaps around utility penetrations, damaged vents, foundation cracks, and poorly sealed door frames. We incorporate exclusion recommendations into every rodent treatment and can perform sealing work as part of the service. Treating without addressing entry points leaves the property vulnerable to reinfestation.
B & D Pest Control is ready to help with whatever pest problem you're dealing with, whether it's a one-time issue or something that needs ongoing attention.
Experienced pest technicians. Safe treatments. Professional service.
Same-day service is available, and our pricing is straightforward with no surprises. Call (801) 459-8789 for a quote and we'll get you on the schedule.
We offer several ways to keep your home or business protected, because one schedule does not fit every situation. Whether you need a single targeted visit or year-round coverage that adjusts to northern Utah's seasonal pest cycles, we will walk you through the options and help you choose what makes sense for your property. Every plan starts with a thorough inspection, and pricing is transparent with no hidden fees on any treatment.

How does a recurring prevention plan actually work?
When you sign up for a recurring plan, we schedule visits at your chosen interval, quarterly, bi-monthly, or monthly. Each visit includes a perimeter barrier refresh, a check of common entry points, and interior spot treatment where activity is present. If something comes up between scheduled visits, we return at no additional charge. You stay protected through the full seasonal cycle rather than reacting to each new problem as it appears.
What are the signs that I have a rodent problem?
Droppings along baseboards, in pantries, or behind appliances are the most common indicator. You may also notice gnaw marks on food packaging, insulation, or wood trim, or hear movement in walls and ceilings at night. Rodents enter through gaps much smaller than most people expect, and an active infestation can grow quickly once they are inside. If you are seeing any of these signs, call us and we will assess the situation.
Are your treatments safe for children and pets?
Yes. We use treatments that are safe for kids and pets and apply them in a targeted way, focusing on areas where pests are active rather than applying broadly throughout the home. If you have a household member with specific sensitivities, let us know when you call and we will talk through the treatment plan before we begin.
Same-Day Service Available
When a pest situation cannot wait, we offer same-day service throughout Ogden and Weber County. Call us, tell us what you are seeing, and we will get someone out to you.
Why do pests sometimes come back after a treatment?
A single treatment addresses the pests that are present at the time of the visit, but it does not eliminate the conditions that attracted them. Entry points, moisture sources, and harborage areas can continue to draw new activity. That is why we look at what is bringing pests in, not just what is visible. A recurring plan keeps the exterior barrier active and lets us catch new pressure before it becomes a problem inside.
What is the difference between a one-time treatment and a prevention plan?
A one-time treatment is designed for a specific, contained pest event. It covers the inspection, the treatment, and a follow-up window for that situation. A prevention plan is built for ongoing protection, with regularly scheduled visits that keep pest pressure low through seasonal shifts. In most cases, a recurring plan costs less per visit than repeated one-time calls and provides much more consistent coverage across the year.
How does the season affect pest pressure in the Ogden area?
Northern Utah has distinct seasonal pest patterns. Carpenter ants and Rocky Mountain wood ticks become active in spring. Miller moths push through in early summer. Boxelder bugs and elm seed bugs begin aggregating on south-facing walls in fall, and rodents press indoors as temperatures drop. Our recurring plans are timed to these cycles so treatment is in place before peak pressure arrives, not after pests are already inside.
Transparent Pricing on Every Visit
We quote the job before we start and we do not add charges after the fact. What you are told is what you pay, whether it is a one-time visit or a recurring plan.
What should I do about an active wasp or hornet nest?
Do not disturb the nest. Wasps and hornets defend aggressively when their nest is threatened, and a nest near a doorway or under eaves is a genuine safety risk. Call us and we will treat the nest directly and remove it once the colony is inactive. Same-day service is available for stinging insect situations that cannot wait.
Do I need to leave my home during or after a treatment?
For most exterior-only treatments, you do not need to leave. If the visit includes interior treatment, we may ask you to stay out of treated areas for a short time while the product dries. We will give you specific guidance before we start based on the areas being treated and the products being used. If you have young children, pets, or anyone with sensitivities, mention that when you call and we will plan accordingly.
Experienced With Local Pests
We have been treating the specific pests that live in northern Utah since 1984. Rocky Mountain wood ticks, boxelder bugs, elm seed bugs, and the seasonal invaders that cycle through Weber County each year are not new to us.
How does exterior barrier treatment keep pests out?
We treat the perimeter of the structure, including the foundation, entry points, and areas where pests commonly travel or harborage. This creates a barrier that stops pest activity before it reaches the interior. Exterior treatment is the first line of defense, and it is included in every recurring plan visit. When the barrier is maintained consistently, interior pest activity drops significantly over time.
Is there a long-term contract required for a recurring plan?
No long-term contract is required. Our recurring plans are built around your needs, and we stand behind the work we do at each visit. If something comes up between appointments, we return. We would rather keep you as a customer by doing good work than lock you in with paperwork.
How does a technician decide on the right treatment plan for my property?
We start with an inspection. We look at where pests are active, how they are getting in, what conditions are supporting them, and what the property layout looks like. From there we explain what we found and walk you through the treatment options before we start anything. The goal is a plan that fits your actual situation, not a default package applied to every property the same way.
Call (801) 459-8789 and we will help you figure out which plan fits your property, your schedule, and the pests you are dealing with.
