# Pest Control in Highland, Utah > Pest protection for Highland homes — from Town Center and Highland Glen to the Murdock Canal Trail, Dry Creek, and foothills. Highland is a low-density residential community set between the American Fork and Dry Creek corridors, with large landscaped lots, trail-connected open space, and neighborhoods reaching toward the Wasatch foothills. Conditions around Highland Glen, the Murdock Canal Trail, Town Center, and foothill-facing streets can produce different moisture, rodent, and insect pressures. ## Property-specific treatment Large lawns, mature landscaping, decorative water, irrigation, and trail or open-space boundaries give pests multiple shelter and travel routes. Homes near Highland Hollow and the foothills can see seasonal movement from natural habitat, while properties around Dry Creek or Highland Glen may experience more moisture-driven insects. Reynolds inspects the whole relationship between yard, structure, and adjacent ground before choosing treatment areas. ## Common pests - Ants - Spiders (including black widows) - Mice & other rodents - Wasps & yellowjackets - Earwigs - Boxelder & elm seed bugs - Voles & pocket gophers - Mosquitoes ## Local areas covered - Highland Town Center - Highland Glen - Dry Creek & Mitchell Hollow - Murdock Canal Trail corridor - Beacon Hill & west Highland - Highland Hollow & foothill edge ## Local pest conditions ### Large lots & irrigation Lawns, gardens, mature trees, and frequent watering can support ants, earwigs, mosquitoes, and other insects that draw spiders toward foundations and patios. ### Trails & open-space edges Properties beside trail corridors, parks, and undeveloped ground can experience mice, voles, gophers, and insects moving into maintained yards and structures. ### Foothill-facing homes Highland Hollow and eastern neighborhoods sit closer to natural habitat, increasing seasonal pressure from rodents, spiders, and wasps around garages and rooflines. ## Seasonal guide ### Spring: Ants, earwigs & yard pests Irrigation and warming soil activate ants and earwigs around planting beds and foundations while vole and gopher damage appears in lawns. ### Summer: Wasps, mosquitoes & spiders Wasps nest around eaves and play areas, while vegetation, water, and shade create insect activity near patios and outdoor spaces. ### Fall: Mice, spiders & seasonal invaders Cooler nights push rodents, boxelder bugs, elm seed bugs, and spiders toward garages, doors, utility openings, and crawl spaces. ### Winter: Rodents & protected indoor pests Mice can stay active in attached garages, basements, storage rooms, and wall voids even when outdoor activity is limited. ## Frequently asked questions ### What pests are common in Highland, Utah?
