Cedar City has been inhabited for thousands of years, but today's Cedar City was founded in 1851 by Mormon pioneers who migrated south. It is close to Brian Head ski resort and a national forest, providing plenty of opportunities to go outdoors year-round. Unfortunately, it is also home to a variety of pests, including spiders, scales, and other insects. In order to control these pests, many people turn to biological controls.
These are natural predators or parasites that can help reduce the population of harmful pests. In some cases, it can take just a few years to gain control of a site. However, most biocontrols take 5 to 10 years to be effective. Imidacloprid is a popular systemic insecticide that can help control soft scales and some other scales.
Dinotefuran (insect control of trees and shrubs with green light with Safari 2G, Safari) is also effective against most types of scales. However, neither of these insecticides will work against cotton scales or armored scales. The most common spiders in Cedar City are basement spiders (also known as “daddy long legs”) and wolf spiders. Basement spiders have small bodies and long, thin legs, while wolf spiders are brown and furry and tend to hunt down intruders.
Black widows and gold-orb spiders also inhabit the area, though they are less commonly seen. In order to achieve gradual control of certain scales, it is important to conserve their natural predators and parasites. This can be done by controlling ants that deal with pests and avoiding the application of persistent insecticides. It may take several months or even until the next season before biological control reduces scale populations.
