Who is a great fit for LOCAL Bug Guy and who should NOT hire us?
We will start with who should NOT hire us. That way if you read something that’s a dealbreaker you can save your time! :-)
Top 3 reasons why you should NOT hire LOCAL Bug Guy:
Where do you live? LOCAL Bug Guy specializes in single-family homes in these few cities. Springville Spanish Fork Salem Payson Mapleton If you live in a custom home or a duplex, we can help you. But our specialty is single-family homes. The reason we only do these few cities is so that we can provide the very best service for our customers. We turn away a lot of business so that we can provide the best service to every customer! If you do not live in one of these cities, then you cannot hire us.
Do you absolutely need same-day service? Some companies advertise same-day service if you call them before 12 noon. Sometimes we can provide same-day service but we don’t promise it. If we were to commit to a same-day service. We would have to make some adjustments that would hurt the customer experience. And the technician experience. We are committed to providing the best service possible for the customer. And the best career possible for the tech. One of the best ways to do this is to have the same technician every time. And for the technician to have the same customers every time. In order to provide same-day service, we would need to either have random technicians do the work. Or overwork the technicians. Or pay them less money. We are not willing to do either of those things. And long-term doing those things hurts the customer experience anyway.
What bugs do you need help with? Termites? We do NOT have the licensing for termites. If they are your number one issue, then we cannot help you Gophers? We have done a few gopher jobs over the years and we were not terrible at it, but we were also not great at it. We have chosen to stop doing gophers so that we can focus on what we are great at. Bedbugs? Same story. We have done a few of them and while we were not great at them, we were not terrible either. But we don’t want to just be OK. We want to be very good at what we do. Small roaches in the house? Similar story. We don’t currently offer it. But if we ever do offer it, it’s gonna be because we’re really good at it. But if that’s your main issue, then call another company. Mice and rats? If they are your main issue, and if it is a big infestation, then we are probably not the best fit. Especially if you can hear them in the walls and the ceiling. But we can help with the basics all day every day!

What bugs do you need help with?
We care about being extra good at the most common and most annoying bugs in our communities! Because that’s what people need the most help with.
We help with most general bugs, and even the occasional mouse. But here is the list of the bugs that we specialize in!
Wasps! Wasps are jerks, and they are extra difficult to control! It takes somebody who is willing to slow down. And take a couple extra minutes to find the wasps, and their hiding places.
If your pets and kids are getting stung. If you cannot find the nest, then you will appreciate having a wasp specialist. Who takes the time to do it right?
We are set up to do an extra great job with wasps!
Spiders. Whether it’s wolf spiders around the home or in the garage or basement. Or black widows in the garage or underneath your furniture on your patio. We will go out of our way to kill and to prevent spiders!
I will share two personal stories about spiders. When my 19-year-old son was about two years old. He came into the house holding a black widow and was so proud of himself.
My wife is terrified of spiders! But her protective nature jumped into gear. She threw him across the room and then stomped on the black widow right in our living room. You don’t mess with the mama bear.
And yes, he was OK. Black widows are potentially deadly, but they really are not aggressive at all.
The second story. When my 16 year-old daughter was about 3 years old. We started our Pest Control company. I was managing another company and was doing things the way that company did them.
But now that I was doing my own business, I really wanted to do it right. I wanted to get rid of gimmicks and spend my time doing things that really mattered. It was at this time that I noticed all of the spiderwebs underneath my daughter’s toys in the backyard.
I did not want to put pesticides around my daughter, but I was worried about what type of spider it might be. So I lightly sprayed the underside of the toy where the webs were. But it was very far away from anything my daughter would put her hands on or her mouth on.
A brown widow spider came out! A brown widow is basically a cousin of a black widow. I put it into a container that I had. Then I watched it for a couple of weeks. I noticed that after a day or two it shriveled up and looked like it was dead. Then a couple days later it came back to life.
This was interesting because I did not spray it very heavily. I only did a very light spray because I was nervous. About a week later it was over 100°.
The spider ended up dying because of how hot it was. Because of that experience, I learned to be very aware of where black widows and brown widows hide. And instead of spraying very lightly, I sprayed very heavily. Again, we spray places where the spiders hide, but kids are not gonna touch with their mouth or their hands.
So, we are a little bit nuts about killing spiders and wasps around your home! We are also happy to help out with many other bugs. For example:
Ants, Earwigs, Box elder, and Elm seed, etc., etc.
If you think we might be a great fit for you then give us a call! If we agree, then we will take your money and kill your bugs.
If for some reason, it’s not a great fit, we will tell you.
In some cases, we know who would be a better fit. If this happens, then we are happy to refer you to one of our competitors.
