GOT A PEST PROBLEMIN LOGAN?

Rodent urine and droppings can spread hantavirus, salmonella, and leptospirosis in Logan households. Signs: ammonia-like smell in enclosed spaces, dark droppings near food, nests of shredded paper or fabric.

Some Logan ant species form supercolonies with hundreds of queens — DIY methods rarely eliminate them. Signs: persistent ants despite repeated spraying, multiple satellite nests in walls and yard, foraging at all hours.

Spider populations indicate other pest issues in Logan homes — spiders go where flies, moths, and gnats are abundant. Signs: webs near light fixtures, spider activity in basements and garages, egg sacs hidden behind furniture.

Stinging insect deaths are rare but serious — anaphylaxis risk is highest for Logan residents with bee/wasp allergies. Signs: nests in shrubs, sheds, or playground equipment, repeated stings from disturbing a hidden colony.

German and American cockroaches dominate Logan kitchens, restaurants, and apartments. They spread Salmonella and trigger childhood asthma. Signs: small dark pellets near food sources, sweet musty smell, nighttime sightings.

Bed bugs in Logan travel on luggage, used furniture, and clothing. They can survive months between meals. Signs: small red-brown stains on mattress seams, bites in lines of 3, exoskeletons in bed frame crevices.
