 Mosquitoes are more than just a summertime nuisance in Las Vegas—they are a serious public health concern. These tiny but dangerous pests thrive in areas with standing water and high heat, both of which are common in the Las Vegas Valley during the warmer months. Mosquitoes can quickly breed in birdbaths, clogged gutters, puddles, and even small containers of water, making it easy for infestations to grow unnoticed. Once active, mosquitoes become a constant irritation, leaving itchy bites and, more importantly, posing significant health risks.

Two major types of mosquitoes in Las Vegas—Aedes and Culex—are known vectors for disease. The Aedes mosquito can transmit dengue fever, Zika virus, and chikungunya, while the Culex mosquito, which is more widespread, is capable of spreading West Nile virus and filariasis. These diseases can lead to serious complications, especially for young children, older adults, and people with weakened immune systems. Because of their ability to carry bacteria, viruses, and parasites, mosquito infestations should never be taken lightly.

Proper mosquito control requires a proactive approach that includes eliminating breeding sites, using larvicides in standing water, and applying barrier sprays to outdoor areas where mosquitoes rest. Personal efforts like repairing window screens, wearing insect repellent, and reducing yard clutter are helpful, but professional treatment is often necessary for long-term relief—especially during peak mosquito season.
