Pest control in Boulder City
Boulder City is the valley's small town: built in 1931 for the Hoover Dam workforce, kept small by a growth-control ordinance, and surrounded by open desert on the road to Lake Mead. Its older homes and mature trees bring rodents, roaches and ants; the desert at the edge of town brings scorpions and spiders.
Historic homes
Much of Boulder City was built between the 1930s and the 1960s. Original crawl spaces, old drain lines, wood siding, settled foundations and decades of additions give roaches and rodents routes that newer homes simply do not have. Inspections here spend time under the house and at the roofline, not just along the block walls.
Mature trees and small-town yards
Big shade trees, old citrus, hedges and lawns on larger lots are the opposite of the rock-mulch subdivisions elsewhere in the valley. They mean roof rats and ants in numbers, and spiders in every shed and woodpile. Keeping branches off the roof and fruit picked up does more here than almost anywhere else we work.
Desert at the city limits
Boulder City sits higher than the valley floor and backs onto the Eldorado Valley and the Lake Mead recreation area. Scorpions, pack rats and desert spiders are part of the landscape on the outer streets and in the newer neighborhoods on the slopes above downtown.

Frequently asked questions
Do you really come out to Boulder City?
Yes. Boulder City is part of our regular service area and a short drive from our base in Henderson.
My house was built in the 1940s. What should I expect?
Older homes have more ways in: crawl-space vents, original foundation gaps, old drain lines and roof details that have shifted over the decades. The inspection focuses on those, and sealing the entry points matters as much as the treatment.
Are there scorpions in Boulder City?
Yes, especially on the outer streets and in the newer neighborhoods on the slopes. Downtown and the historic district, with their mature yards, tend to see more rodents, roaches and ants than scorpions.
Why do I have roaches in an older house?
Older drain lines, floor drains and crawl spaces give American cockroaches a direct route up from below, and decades of small gaps let Turkestan roaches walk in from the yard. Keeping traps full of water and sealing the gaps we find is most of the fix.
