North Las Vegas FAQ

Can I treat termites myself or must I hire a licensed pro?

Homeowners may apply consumer-grade products on their own property. Effective termite work typically requires restricted-use chemicals that only licensed pest-control operators can apply.

What if I find a desert tortoise in my yard?

Do not touch or move the tortoise. Desert tortoises are federally protected. Contact the Tortoise Group or Nevada Department of Wildlife for guidance. Handling can cause tortoises to release water stores and die.
