Pest Control in Las Vegas, NV: Del Webb Boulevard
Our Del Webb Boulevard office is in Sun City Summerlin in the northwest valley, where desert landscaping, golf course edges and open desert toward Red Rock shape the pest calendar.
Pest control in Sun City Summerlin and the northwest valley
Sun City Summerlin was built by Del Webb from 1989 as an active adult community, and its streets wind between golf courses, rock and gravel landscaping, and block walls. To the west the valley gives way to open desert and then the cliffs of Red Rock Canyon. That combination is good for the people who live here and good for desert arthropods too, because rock, irrigation and shelter sit right next to the homes.
The bark scorpion is the pest people here ask about most. It shelters in rock landscaping, block wall gaps and palm skirts, it climbs well, and it gets into homes through gaps under doors, at the stucco weep screed along the base of the wall and around plumbing penetrations. Black widows favor the same walls and garages. Honey bees in southern Nevada can be Africanized and defensive, and they like to nest in irrigation valve boxes and water meter boxes. Harvester ants and crickets round out the summer list.
Because so much of the pressure comes from outside, the inspection does too. A technician walks the perimeter, block walls and landscaping, checks door sweeps, garage door seals, weep screeds and utility entries, and then explains what sealing and treatment would involve before anything is applied. Tell us about pets, visiting grandchildren or anyone in the household with a sting allergy when you call.

Pest control services from the Del Webb Boulevard office
Scorpion Sealing
Door sweeps, weep screeds, garage seals and pipe gaps sealed so scorpions cannot walk in from the rock beds.
Spider Control
Black widows in block walls, garages, patio furniture and the shaded corners of side yards.
Bee and Wasp Control
Bees in valve boxes, meter boxes and walls identified first, because a honey bee colony is handled differently from wasps.
Ant Control
Harvester ant mounds in gravel yards and ant trails following drip irrigation toward the house.
Cricket Control
Summer crickets drawn to porch and garage lights, and the gaps that let them inside.
Termite Control
Mud tubes on slab edges and garage walls checked for subterranean termite activity.
Del Webb Boulevard questions
How do scorpions get into homes near the edge of Summerlin?
They walk in. The usual routes are gaps under doors, worn garage door seals, the weep screed at the base of stucco walls and openings around pipes and wires. Bark scorpions also climb, so roof and attic gaps count. Sealing those routes is the core of the work.
Is a UV flashlight a useful way to check for scorpions?
Yes. Scorpions glow under ultraviolet light, so walking the block walls and rock beds with a UV flashlight after dark on a warm night shows how many are around and where they shelter. Tell us what you found when you call.
There are bees in my irrigation valve box. Should I spray them?
No. Keep people and pets away and call. Honey bees in southern Nevada can be Africanized and very defensive when disturbed, so identification comes first and the approach depends on what is nesting.
Can you work around pets and visiting grandchildren?
Yes. Tell us about pets, children who visit and anyone with a sting allergy when you call. The technician will explain what will be used and where before anything is applied, so you can plan around the visit.
