Buffos Termite Pest Control & Lawn Care

Check out our latest blog post, about June pest control.

As the weather warms up here in Utah, you might start seeing some activity under your eaves ☀️. While the instinct is often to clear everything away immediately, there’s actually a benefit to leaving those old, inactive paper nests from last year right where they are 🏠.

Wasps are surprisingly territorial. When a new queen is looking for a spot to start her colony, seeing an existing nest (even an empty one) often signals that the "prime real estate" is already taken 🙅‍♂️. It’s nature’s own way of saying "no vacancy."

We’re all about working with the local environment to keep your home comfortable 🌿. If you’re seeing new activity that has you concerned, we’re always happy to take a look and give you an honest assessment—no long-term contracts or high-pressure pitches required. 🤝

Just give us a call at 801-373-3940 or send a message if you'd like us to stop by! 📞✨

We’ve Been Serving Utah Since the Yellow Pages Were the Only Option! 📖📞

We found this photo of a very tidy Buffo’s operation, and it reminds us how much has changed in Provo since 1957. The trucks might be newer, but our 3rd-generation, family commitment to this community hasn't changed.

We know you have a lot of options for pest control. That's why we’ve always believed that earning your trust is more important than "getting a signature." We are not just trying to sell a contract and move on; we are invested in the health and comfort of our neighbors.

Why being a legacy family business matters to us (and you!):

NO Door-to-Door Sales 🚫🚪: We don’t believe in catching you off guard with high-pressure tactics. If you need our help, we’re here, but you’ll never see a Buffo’s tech using scare tactics on your doorstep.

NO Required Contracts 📝❌: We want you to stay with us because you value our "boutique" service and trust our expertise, not because you are legally bound to. We build relationships, not just client lists.

Utah Roots 🏔️: We’ve seen every Utah pest cycle for nearly 70 years. We know exactly what to expect in a dry spring vs. a wet one because we’ve lived here through them all.

Thank you for letting us be a part of your family's story for three generations! We’re not just here for a service; we’re here to be the partners you rely on. 💙🤝

Take a close look at the photo... notice the phone number on the door? Some things are too good to change. 😉

Paws & Pest Control: Keeping Your Furry Friends Safe 🐾🛡️

One of the most common questions we get is: "Is it safe for my pets?" We love our animals as much as you do, so transparency is our top priority! 🐕🐈

At Buffo's Termite & Pest Control, we use an educational approach to make sure your home is protected without compromising the safety of your four-legged family members.

Our Pet-Safe Protocol:

Product Selection: We use professional-grade products designed to be effective against pests while remaining low-impact for your home environment. 🌿

Proper Application: Our technicians are trained to apply treatments in the cracks and crevices where pests hide—not where your pets play. 🧶

Expert Advice: We’ll always let you know exactly when it’s okay for your pets to be back in the treated area (usually once it’s dry!).

Have questions about a specific pet or area of your yard? Give us a call at 801-373-3940. We’re here to give you peace of mind! 📞✨

A Note to Our Customers: How to Identify a Real Buffo’s Pro 🤝

Nothing is more important to us than the trust we’ve built with our Utah community over the last three generations. As a family-owned business serving you since 1957, we take your security and peace of mind very personally. 🏠💙

It honestly concerns us to recently hear reports of door-to-door representatives from other companies leading homeowners to believe they are part of our team. To help protect our customers, we want to be very clear: Buffo’s Termite & Pest Control does NOT participate in door-to-door sales. 🚫🚪

We want to empower you with the Buffo’s Verification Checklist so you always know you're getting the honest service you expect: ✅

-Proactive Communication 📱: We always let our customers know day and window of time when we are coming. You will receive a notification via text or call before we arrive for a scheduled service.

-The Signature Truck 🚛: Our technicians arrive in official, clearly marked vehicles (like the ones Decker and Moroni are standing by in these photos!).

-The Official Uniform 👕: Every member of our team will be in a clean navy uniform, including a hat featuring our official logo. 🧢

-Verification is Always Welcome 📞: If someone is at your door and you have any doubt at all, please call our office at 801-373-3940. We are always happy to confirm our technicians for your safety!

We believe in an educational approach to pest control—not high-pressure tactics or confusion. Thank you for letting us look out for your homes and families for nearly 70 years! 🌲✨

Stay safe, Utah! 📍

It has been such a weird start to the year here in Utah! ☀️ Instead of the typical spring transition, we started out so warm and dry. Because of that, insects like ants 🐜 and spiders are waking up a bit earlier than usual and scouting for new homes.

We love sharing knowledge to help you protect your space without needing a technician to come out. If you are doing some spring cleaning this week, here are 5 quick things you can do to keep pests outside where they belong:

1️⃣ Check the foundation: Walk around your home and look for any small cracks or crevices around doors and windows where bugs could squeeze in.

2️⃣ Tidy up the perimeter: Clear away dead leaves and debris that piled up against your home's foundation over the winter.

3️⃣ Check your screens: Make sure window screens are intact and fit tightly to keep out early flying insects.

4️⃣ Fix outdoor leaks: Repair any dripping faucets or hoses that create puddles. Pests are actively scouting for moisture right now—especially wasps! 🐝 They absolutely love water and water features like pools and fountains, and they can be attracted to them from a mile away.

5️⃣ Wipe down counters: Keep kitchen surfaces clear of crumbs to avoid attracting scouting ants.

Why are we sharing this? Because at Buffo's Termite & Pest Control, we operate as a boutique, family-owned business rather than a giant corporation. We have been locally owned and operating across Utah since 1957. We believe in being informative, doing right by our customers, and letting our service speak for itself—which is why we have never required contracts.

Enjoy the sunshine (even if the weather is acting a little strange)! 😎
