Bark scorpions and stings

• They're here. University of Arizona Extension says the Arizona bark scorpion lives in parts of Nevada and that Las Vegas has a relatively high rate of stings. A University of Nevada Cooperative Extension specialist told KNPR bark scorpions are among the most venomous in southern Nevada and tend to live in groups.
• Kids and seniors are most at risk. Extension experts say stings are most dangerous for the very young and the very old. MedlinePlus says children 6 and under are more likely to have harmful effects.
• If someone is stung: call Poison Help at 1-800-222-1222, 24/7. For a young child, call 911 or go to the ER. Wash with soap and water and use a cool compress, 10 minutes on and 10 off.
• When and where: they're less active November through March. They hide in block walls, rocks, logs and tree bark, and hollow block walls are a favorite.
• Black lights work. Scorpions glow under UV light. Extension guides say summer evenings are the best time to look. Don't look directly into the UV light.

Treatment prices

low to high, typical. Bars use the same scale, up to $420.

Las Vegas rows come from a local cost guide that surveyed licensed providers, a real estate brokerage's client quotes, and HomeAdvisor listings (unchanged since at least 2023). The last row is national. Many local companies only advertise discounts, not prices.

What actually works

Spraying alone isn't enough. University of Arizona Extension says bark scorpions are difficult to manage with pesticides alone and that pest-proofing is by far the most effective way to cut stings. Texas A&M Extension says the same.

What the extension guides recommend:

1. Weatherstripping and tight door sweeps on every exterior door.
2. Caulk gaps at eaves, pipes and wires, and keep window screens tight.
3. Screen weep holes with coarse steel mesh, but don't plug them.
4. Stucco and cap hollow block walls.
5. Clear rocks, boards, logs, woodpiles and trash away from the house.
6. Use sticky traps to catch scorpions and see where they're getting in.
7. Shake out shoes and clothes, and wear shoes at night.

If you hire a company, ask whether the price includes sealing, not just spraying.

Termites, rodents and pigeons

low to high, typical. Bars use the same scale, up to $2,600.

Sealing and pigeon prices are a brokerage's client quotes, not a survey. Bird and bat control is North Las Vegas listings.

Licenses and contracts

• A license is required. Nevada law (NRS 555.280) says no one may do pest control for hire without a license from the Nevada Department of Agriculture. Termite inspections and bids need a license too.
• Check it: the Department of Agriculture posts a licensed operator list on its pest control page, or call its Las Vegas office at (702) 668-4590.
• Door-to-door deals: the FTC's Cooling-Off Rule lets you cancel most door-to-door sales of $25 or more until midnight of the third business day after you sign.
• Read the contract: ask how long it runs, whether it auto-renews, and how to cancel before you sign.
