Common Las Vegas pests: what you found and what to document

Start with where you found it

• Kitchen, bathroom, drain, pantry, trash area, or pet food area
• Garage, door threshold, block wall, storage boxes, or exterior lighting
• Attic, roofline, eaves, utility penetrations, or wall void noises
• Closets, stored fabrics, baseboards, bathrooms, or laundry areas
• Artificial turf, pet runs, irrigation edges, damp spots, or debris piles

How to document what you found

• Take a clear photo with a coin, key, or other common object nearby for scale if it is safe to do so
• Note the room, time of day, and whether activity is repeated or one-time
• Save photos of droppings, gnaw marks, shed skins, damaged materials, or entry gaps
• Avoid handling unknown pests directly, especially spiders, scorpions, droppings, or nests
• Mention pets, children, sensitive occupants, and whether the issue is inside, outside, garage, attic, or yard-focused

When it may be urgent

Urgency depends on the pest, location, occupant sensitivity, and property conditions. Indoor scorpions, repeated rodent signs, suspected termites, large roach activity, or pests near children, pets, food storage, or sleeping areas usually deserve faster provider follow-up.
