Why Scorpions Are a Serious Problem in Las Vegas
Las Vegas has more scorpions than almost anywhere else in the country. The Arizona bark scorpion is the most dangerous kind, and it’s common all over Clark County. Ridtechs has protected Las Vegas homes from scorpions since 2015.
- The bark scorpion’s sting can be serious, especially for kids and older adults
- Scorpions can squeeze through gaps as small as 1/16 inch
- They come out at night and can survive for months without food
- Our hot, dry climate and desert landscaping make Las Vegas an easy place for scorpions to live
- New home building near Summerlin, Spring Valley, and southwest Las Vegas pushes scorpions into nearby yards and houses
Common Signs of a Scorpion Problem
- Finding scorpions inside, especially in bathrooms and sinks
- Scorpions glow under a blacklight at night
- Scorpions climbing your walls or ceilings
- More scorpion activity during monsoon season (July through September)
- Neighbors seeing scorpions too
Scorpion Prevention Tips for Las Vegas Homeowners
- Clear away wood piles, rocks, and debris near your foundation
- Keep plants and landscaping at least 12 inches from your house
- Seal cracks in your stucco and foundation
- Add weather stripping to exterior doors
- Use yellow outdoor lights, they attract fewer bugs, which means fewer scorpions
- Trim trees and bushes away from your roof and walls
- Keep shoes and gloves off the ground
- Shake out bedding before you get in, especially for kids
Been with them for many years now. Always professional, effective, best customer service out there!
Professional and accommodating.
We had a great experience with Ridtechs!!From the first call to the completion of the service, everyone was professional, responsive, and easy to communicate with. I really appreciated how clearly they explained the entire process and what to expect, which made us feel comfortable and confident in the service. We were dealing with a spider problem, and I was pleasantly surprised by how knowledgeable the technician was. They took the time to explain why we were seeing so many spiders, what was attracting them, and the best treatment plan to solve the problem instead of just offering a quick fix. The service was completed in a timely manner, and the whole experience was efficient and professional from start to finish. It’s refreshing to work with a company that values communication and takes the time to educate their customers. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable pest control.
Excellent service! Always making sure everything is covered! A+++

Joe and Dalton did a fantastic job. Super respectful, knowledgeable, friendly and on time!
I had a wasp issue near my pool, coming from an unknown location that I had tried every commercial trap and remedy on for 2 years without success. We couldn’t even use our pool anymore. These guy came out one time and I haven’t seen a wasp since! They were very informative and professional and have checked in on us a few times to make sure the wasps haven’t come back. Can’t say enough great things about them! They have saved our backyard!
Always prompt and courteous Take care of all our needs
Josh was amazing. He was a very nice guy. I felt very comfortable with him in my home. I can trust him and he was very knowledgable about the products that they use and about if I were to get bags where they would be coming in at so that was actually very helpful information. I am very happy with my service. Thank you.
Always timely. Friendly Johnny is super. Tx
