Common Pests in Las Vegas, NM
Pest Control
More on pests in your area
Various pests are attracted to the semi-arid climate of Las Vegas, NM. Wood-damaging anobiid powderpost beetles and termites both thrive in the consistently warm environment and cause expensive structural damage to area homes. Anobiid powderpost beetle larvae tunnel into both soft and hard woods, creating holes and internal wood damage that eventually causes the timber to weaken. This behavior affects furniture, structural support beams, floor joists and other wood within the structure. Termites cause similar destruction by consuming the cellulose in wood. Infestations of termite pests may often go unnoticed, despite their large colony size.
Las Vegas is also home to various cockroaches. Since these pests enjoy dark, warm, and moist environments, they often sneak into New Mexico homes and gather in laundry rooms, bathrooms, crawl spaces, under sinks, and in kitchens. Infestations contaminate food and surfaces with their bodies and feces as they crawl around looking for meals. The presence of cockroaches can also cause asthma or exacerbate symptoms in those who already have it.
