First, let’s take a look at what can show up in your bathroom, kitchen, sitting rooms — just about anywhere.

Common Nevada Bugs

No matter where you live, springtime mating season attracts many kinds of insects.  In Athens, Nevada, you may find moths, aphids, weevils, beetles, cockroaches, ticks, ants, spiders, ladybugs, flies — only to name a few.  If your home is surrounded by a full lawn and garden, be prepared to see butterflies, bees, wasps, gnats, nits and even fleas.  No matter where you live, mosquitoes love to bite human flesh and in our area of the country, it’s always possible to see a scorpion!

Athens Pest Control

Keeping the springtime bugs out of your Athens, Nevada home requires patience and diligence but the process really should start the season before.  Setting up a plan and pest management schedule during the previous fall, for example, will help keep insects from laying eggs and then hatching in the spring.  Your property is always ripe for insect infestations; catching them early is a key to controlling outbreaks later on. Keeping lawns and gardens free from weeds and debris will help deter unwanted pests.  Nearby trees are full of bugs! Have your trees evaluated by an arbor specialist.  Always prune trees so that no limbs ever touch the house.

Mosquito Pest Control

Mosquitos love humid weather… not something we see a lot of in Athens and the Las Vegas area, but they do have a way of thriving in our hot Nevada climate. Mosquitos aren’t only a nuisance; their bites can carry disease to people and pets.  Infected mosquitos bring heartworm to dogs and the West Nile Virus, found in Nevada and other areas around the United States, can be fatal to people.

There are a number of sprays and deterrents on the market but seriously controlling mosquitos on your property is best done by hiring a professional.
