How do you get cockroaches in the first place?
Cockroach control experts in Utah.

It depends on the cockroach species. German cockroaches usually have to be brought in, or if living in an apartment, they may be coming from adjacent units. They may be brought in on food or cardboard packaging or containers. They are not native to Utahah and do not live outside. Once inside the home, German cockroaches are attracted to tight fitting spaces close to water, food, and warmth. Oriental cockroaches often enter homes looking for a cool damp area.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, cockroaches are very common in the state of Utah. Both Oriental and German cockroaches live in the area. Many species are what we call peridomestic, meaning that they live outdoors and indoors.

German cockroaches only live indoors, while oriental cockroaches are both indoor and outdoor. Most favor environments where it’s dark and damp. American cockroaches are also common, but only in southern Utah.

The methods used to treat cockroaches can depend on the species. Oriental cockroaches usually require exterior treatments, baiting, and exclusion to prevent them from going indoors, while German cockroaches typically require a baiting program indoors, combined with sanitation and monitoring. The pest control experts at Thorn are best able to customize recommendations for you. Contact our team today to get started.

Recommendations for pest control can vary based on the species of cockroach. Our highly-trained experts truly “think like a cockroach” when implementing their recommendations to ensure all methods are as effective as possible.

Baiting is a fast way to get rid of German cockroaches. Vacuuming is also immediate and fast, but it only helps treat those pests that you can see. A combination of treatments is usually best depending on the type of cockroach you are dealing with.

Yes, but the experts at Thorn provide specialized treatments above and beyond “spraying the baseboards.” Cockroach treatments need to be directed where the pest lives in cracks and crevices, indoors and out. Thorn can provide cockroach treatments and make recommendations to prevent an infestation from reoccurring. Contact us for pricing today.

  • Bronson Sly
    Rhett has excellent communication with me. Throughout the day, he came to check in multiple times to explain what he was doing on the property, which I really appreciated. I also love the log binder that Thorn uses, and it's great that they're willing to adapt to our needs. Rhett even called ahead before coming to the property, which was very thoughtful. He seems extremely knowledgeable about our issues and was thorough in completing his work
  • Parker Roberts
    Ash was great to work with! We had a mishap of when he showed up but was happy to work us back into his schedule later in the day.
  • Ashley Boyle (Ashley & Hadleigh)
    I was so impressed with Thorn and our tech Ash. I saw mouse activity late Tuesday night and they were able to get me in The next day when I called that morning. I have experience remediating mice, but did not want to take any chances having small kids and pets around and especially with extra holiday stuff around. I called a few places before Thorne and they were not nearly as comprehensive in their mouse, remediation knowledge and how they were going to help rectify the situation. Their prices were equally comparable to everybody else. I just felt they were going to be able to serve my needs with the mouse activity better than anyone else. very pleased to have gone with them and will be recommending them to anyone I know! Also Vicki, who initially took my call was extremely knowledgeable and how all the services worked and what was included, and that was a huge help not to mention she was super nice!

    Thorn Pest Control is the best. They helped me with a very difficult pest situation. I had been trying for weeks to take care of this problem on my own and never had any good results. Thorn Pest Control came out and spent a considerable amount of time getting to the bottom of my problem and was able to solve it. They were so helpful and good at what they do that I decided I would continue with them, I am very happy that I did.
  • Top-it pickup covers
    Rhett was very kind when he showed up. My house was a bit chaotic and asked that he just did the outside today. He informed me that my mice traps are rat traps and this could be why we are not catching mice. He said he would inform the office of this and get them changed out for us. He is very nice and would like to have him back again.
