The kitchen door opens and a blast of hot desert air sweeps across the line. A prep cook hurries by with a lug of cilantro, the dishwasher cranks up another rack, and a delivery driver drops off produce at the back door. It is all normal for a Las Vegas restaurant, and it is exactly how pests get...
If you live in the Las Vegas Valley, you learn fast that the desert doesn’t stop at your property line. Scorpions ride in on landscaping deliveries. Ants show up after a monsoon rain. Cockroaches love the warmth of block walls and utility chases. Pigeons find balcony ledges and evaporative cooler...
Las Vegas apartments face a different pest landscape than coastal or temperate cities. Long, hot summers, scant rainfall, and pockets of irrigated landscaping create a patchwork of desert and oasis conditions that suit a surprising range of species. Roaches thrive in warm mechanical rooms. German...
Las Vegas has a reputation for heat, glitz, and round-the-clock energy. It also has a quieter reputation among pest pros: the valley’s blend of extreme temperatures, irrigated landscapes, and dense housing creates an unusually stubborn pest mix. Cockroaches thrive in sewer corridors and warm wall...
Kitchen pests do not negotiate. They don’t care that it’s Friday dinner rush, that your fryer went down at 7:10 pm, or that you just passed your last health inspection with a near-perfect score. In Las Vegas, the stakes are even higher. High heat, low humidity, heavy tourism, and 24-hour...
Roaches in Las Vegas don’t behave like roaches in Portland or Pittsburgh. The desert sets its own rules. Summer days bake to 110 degrees or more, monsoon storms drop sudden sheets of water, and nights cool just enough to lure insects out of hiding. Add irrigated landscapes, sprawling subdivisions...
Scorpions belong to the desert, but in Las Vegas they find the same things in our yards that they search for in the wild: shelter, water, and prey. The species homeowners see most often is the Arizona bark scorpion. It is small, tan, flexible, and a champion at getting into gaps you would swear...
Las Vegas families share the same unglamorous reality: pests love the valley’s climate. Heat, sudden monsoon moisture, and abundant food around neighborhoods create a year-round invitation for roaches, scorpions, ants, spiders, and roof rats. When you add young children to the mix, normal pest...

The Mojave Desert rewards good planning. In Las Vegas, a new home can look sealed and pristine at closing, yet the soil and structure may already be inviting ants, scorpions, and subterranean termites. Pre-treatment for pests is not an optional upgrade in this region. It is part risk management,...
Las Vegas has two seasons if you ask property managers who have been around long enough: hot, and hotter with roaches. Add German cockroaches riding in with moving boxes, scorpions wandering in from the desert edge, and bed bugs hiding in secondhand furniture, and you get a city where apartment...
