Services
Bed Bug Treatment
Our bed bug control targets infestations using specialized crack-and-crevice treatments in mattresses, furniture, and drawers. Technicians apply non-repellent materials that pests carry back to colonies, followed by preventive sealing measures. This method eliminates existing infestations while creating long-term barriers against reinfestation in residential and commercial properties.
Scorpion Treatment
Scorpion control combines targeted pesticide applications with habitat modification. Technicians use non-odor materials undetectable to scorpions, which are transferred through colony contact. Follow-up preventive measures include sealing entry points and modifying landscaping to deter future infestations in desert environments like Las Vegas.
Cockroach Treatment
Our roach control employs undetectable non-odor pesticides that cockroaches spread through colonies. Technicians identify and seal entry points while applying residual treatments in kitchens, basements, and commercial kitchens. Regular maintenance plans prevent reinfestation in both residential and business settings across southern Nevada.
Rodent Removal
Rodent control includes exclusion techniques, trapping systems, and habitat modification. Technicians identify entry points, implement sealing solutions, and use the patented 'Rodent Rock' bait stations that blend into landscaping. Follow-up inspections ensure complete elimination of mice and rat infestations in homes and businesses.
Ant Extermination
Ant control utilizes non-repellent materials that worker ants transfer to colonies. Technicians treat entry points, apply perimeter barriers, and modify landscaping to eliminate food sources. This approach effectively addresses common desert species like Argentine ants and fire ants in residential and commercial properties.

Moved to the desert in 2016 and have been using Townsend Pest Control ever since. My Boston Terrier loves to hunt for Scorpions and eat them, so I prefer the heavy duty dose to keep them away. Great company! Doug is my go to. Service: Bug & insect extermination

We moved into a community with scorpions, and this was the only company that could get rid of them completely. They did an excellent job at getting them under control. We don't have any problems any more. Thank you Townsend Pest Control! Service: Bug & insect extermination

Literally THE best pest control in town! Don't even waste your time or money having anyone else come to your house! I've had multiple companies come and spray and still saw bugs around the house. Townsend gets the job done, i NEVER see any sort of pest in or around my house!

Serious Scorpion infestation is no longer a worry for me! From the first contact person explaining how and why scorpions enter your home to Scott who was the on-site technician, I feel so relieved that I will not see another scorpion. This is the most thorough first visit I have ever experienced. After years of paying for pest control we have still had scorpions. I rest assured that they have solved my issue. When asked if I needed to sign a contract, Scott stated that they need to prove their word each month.

These guys do exactly what they say they're going to do! I had a very difficult bee problem. My wife got stung on my head, twice! It was either them or me. Lyle took care of business, and I'm still allowed to live in my house. I highly recommend them.

I called Lyle Townsend, when I found these HUGE roaches in my kitchen, that came in through my back balcony door. Lyle came same day as promised, he examined the dead roach, (turned out to be a Turkistan Roach), he checked outside including checked all the irrigation boxes the door frames, and windows. He treated ALL of the indoor baseboards and treated the yard as well as the foundation and walls.
He was very, very thorough, very pleasant, very affordable. Next day I found ALL DEAD ROACHES everywhere inside and out. 2 weeks later which is today not 1 roach anywhere to be seen. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thank You Lyle Townsend
