At Preventive, we prioritize what matters most: your family’s safety and peace of mind. Our expert team uses proven, child- and pet-safe treatments that protect your home from pests year-round, ensuring a happy, healthy environment for those you love.
To prioritize safety and maximize effectiveness, we prepare our treatments off-site. This ensures that you and your loved ones are not exposed to potent chemicals before they are properly diluted. It's part of our commitment to safety-first pest control.
Our experienced team addresses both existing nests and potential nesting sites. We identify and treat areas where bees and wasps are likely to build nests, ensuring comprehensive control and preventing future infestations.
For pre-existing nests, our licensed team employs safe and effective methods to relocate or eradicate the nest, with an emphasis on preservation when dealing with vital pollinators like bees.
Our entire team is fully licensed by the Utah Department of Agriculture and Food. We are knowledgeable about the behavior of bees and wasps and adhere to strict regulations. We provide accurate information, ensuring no harmful treatment practices are implemented.

“I've been a happy customer of Preventive Pest Control for over a year now. They are always timely with scheduling my quarterly treatment, and I love that they spray both the outside perimeter and the inside perimeter of my house, as well as coming back if I start seeing pests and need an additional spray before my next quarterly treatment.”
Aubrey
“PPC came out to our house to treat for spiders and wasps. They were extremely professional and efficient! My wife hates to see spiders and asks that our inside window sills get sprayed. They politely did just that and we have seen no pests since. We have used Preventive Pest Control over 6 years now. Amazing service, great quality, and good value. They keep sending sharp technicians! I wouldn't go with any other company.”
George
“I've been a customer with Preventative Pest Control for 4-5 years now. They are great to work with - always professional and thorough with their treatments, and if you continue having issues following a treatment, they are great to come back out and do a re-treatment and no additional cost. Ky just came to my place today and he spent extra care ensuring he treated all areas and removed any wasps nests.”

What kinds of wasps and hornets are native to Utah?
Utah is home to various wasp and hornet species. Common ones include the Western Yellowjacket, Paper Wasp, Mud Dauber, and the Bald-faced Hornet. While these insects play vital roles in pest control and pollination, some can be aggressive or problematic when they establish nests near human dwellings.
Why do wasps and hornets look for small enclosed spaces?
Wasps and hornets often seek out small, enclosed spaces for nesting because these locations offer protection from predators, harsh weather, and other environmental factors. Such spaces also provide a controlled environment for raising their young. Establishing nests in sheltered locations enhances the survival chances of their colonies.
Are all bees in Utah dangerous?
Not all bees in Utah are dangerous. While honeybees, bumblebees, and many native bee species are generally non-aggressive and vital for pollination, some, like the Africanized Honeybee, can be more aggressive if provoked. Always exercise caution around bee colonies and seek professional assistance for removal.
How can I differentiate between a bee, a wasp, and a hornet?
Bees tend to have a more rounded and furry appearance, beneficial for pollen collection. Wasps, on the other hand, have slender bodies with a narrow waist and are generally less hairy. Hornets, a subset of wasps, are usually larger and can be identified by their stout bodies and pronounced head.
What should I do if I find a nest on my property?
If you discover a nest on your property, it's essential not to disturb it. Many stinging insects can become aggressive when threatened. Instead, maintain a safe distance and contact a professional pest control service to assess the situation and provide safe removal or treatment options.
