Las Vegas property owners must prevent rodent harborage on their premises. SNHD investigates complaints across the city and Clark County, and code enforcement abates conditions like uncut weeds, open trash, or stored debris attracting rats or mice.
Las Vegas Municipal Code Title 9 public nuisance provisions and SNHD vector-control rules require owners to keep premises free of conditions that harbor rodents: dense vegetation, accumulated junk, uncovered garbage, abandoned vehicles, and pet food left outdoors overnight. SNHD responds to rat and mouse complaints across Clark County and can require owners to install bait stations, seal entry points, and remove harborage. Repeat offenders or commercial properties with active infestations may receive abatement notices billed to the parcel.
Allowing rodent harborage after notice, ignoring abatement orders, or failing to clean food-establishment infestations leads to citations, abatement liens, and potential permit suspension.
