Eco-friendly, family- and pet-safe elm seed bug control across Utah's Wasatch Front.
Elm Seed Bug Control
If you've lived through a Utah summer, you know elm seed bugs. They're small, dark, rusty-brown bugs that show up by the hundreds on warm walls, windowsills, and inside the house, and they give off a foul, sour smell when squished.
They feed on elm seeds, so any elm tree nearby cranks up the pressure. Once it heats up, they pour in through window screens and gaps looking for cool shelter. The only real fix is an exterior barrier before they make it inside.
Know the Signs
Elm seed bugs invade in the heat and cluster on warm surfaces. Here's what their season looks like.
They blanket warm south- and west-facing walls, window frames, and screens through the hot months.
Elm seeds are their food source, homes near elm trees get hit hardest and earliest.
A sharp, unpleasant odor when one is crushed is the classic elm seed bug giveaway.
Unlike fall invaders, elm seed bugs come inside during the heat, peak season is the hottest stretch of summer.
Our Approach
The whole game is keeping them outside. We treat the sunny exterior walls, eaves, window frames, and foundation where elm seed bugs gather, with a long-lasting barrier so they don't settle in and crawl through. We'll help seal the gaps around windows and screens they exploit, and treat indoors for any that already got in. Everything is eco-friendly and family- and pet-safe.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely. Every product we use is eco-friendly and chosen specifically for family and pet safety. We apply it in targeted areas, and your kids and pets can return once it has dried, usually within 30-60 minutes.
Start before the heat peaks, late spring into early summer, so the exterior barrier is already in place when they begin invading. Once thousands are pouring in through your windows, you're playing catch-up. A proactive exterior treatment, plus sealing window gaps and screens, is far more effective than fighting them indoors one by one.
