Nevada pest control: common pests, seasons & local options
Beyond the neon of the famous Welcome sign, Nevada's desert cities face pests built for the heat. Las Vegas, Henderson, Reno, and North Las Vegas homeowners contend with bark scorpions, sewer roaches, black widows, and ant invasions driven by irrigation in an otherwise bone-dry landscape.
Most common pests in Nevada
The four pest problems Nevada homeowners ask about most — and what drives them locally.
Scorpions
Bark scorpions are a signature Las Vegas valley pest, hiding in block walls, rock landscaping, and garages.
Cockroaches
American and Turkestan roaches thrive in Nevada's desert developments, entering through drains and irrigation boxes.
Ants
Argentine and odorous house ants invade Nevada homes whenever desert heat or irrigation shifts their colonies.
Black Widow Spiders
Black widows are Nevada's most common dangerous spider, favoring garages, sheds, and pool equipment areas.
Pest seasons in Nevada
Nevada's pest season tracks the thermometer: scorpions and roaches surge from April through October, ants trail indoors with both summer heat and irrigation cycles, and black widows peak in the warm months. Desert winters are mild enough that pests never fully shut down — especially in Las Vegas.
