Services
Bed Bug Treatment
Our bed bug control services target infestations using specialized deep crack and crevice treatments in mattresses, bed frames, and drawers. Technicians apply non-repellent materials that pests spread through colonies while implementing preventive measures to ensure long-term elimination in residential and commercial properties.
Scorpion Control
Specialized scorpion control addresses desert-region infestations through customized treatment plans. Our technicians use non-toxic methods to eliminate existing populations and apply preventive barriers around properties, focusing on entry points and outdoor habitats to disrupt scorpion activity cycles.
Rodent Extermination
Rodent control services identify infestation sources and implement exclusion strategies combined with targeted treatments. We use patented 'Rodent Rock' stations that blend into landscaping while eliminating nests, followed by structural repairs to prevent re-entry in both residential and commercial settings.
Cockroach Removal
Our cockroach control employs undetectable non-odor materials that pests spread through colonies. Technicians treat cracks, plumbing areas, and storage spaces while implementing moisture control measures to eliminate breeding grounds and prevent future infestations.
Ant Infestation Solutions
Ant control services target colonies using non-repellent treatments that worker ants spread throughout nests. We focus on perimeter treatments and baiting systems to eliminate entire colonies while sealing entry points to prevent recurring infestations in residential 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

I called Townsend for a springtail problem, I had them all over my yard, coming in my windows, sliding door, etc. Doug came by, sprayed all over, and took care of the problem. He knows what works. I highly recommend Townsend. Service: Bug & insect extermination

These guys are great! I had a serious bee problem, in a difficult place! He guaranteed the job, and stood behind his work. I think that's a rarity in this day and age. Highly recommended!

Absolutely the most professional company! We purchased our new home to later find out we have scorpions. We tried other companies that didn't work, then found Townsend Pest Control. The amount of attention payed to the customer is something that is not seen now a days. The explination of everything that is going to be done to "WIN" over the scorpions was with out need of further explination. We are now month 3 and have only found two that were alive but dying, the rest have been dead.
When we called to let them know we found a couple of live ones they were at our home the next day! The owner Lyle and Doug personally came out spoke with us and gave advice on what else we could do until we "WIN". I would give them 10 stars on professionalism true pride and dedication to their profession. If you have a scorpion problem make them your first (and will be your last) phone call!

I am relatively new to Las Vegas and I noticed that the Turkistan Roaches and Spiders on my property were getting out of hand. Since I have two dogs I was concerned with the products that would be used, but after speaking with Townsend Pest Control they explained their safe methods of exterminating and put my mind at ease. I have to say that everyone at Townsend is very nice to speak with; they are professional and take great care of their customers.
I set-up for a monthly maintenance schedule to keep all the bugs away and I couldn't be happier. My technician, Doug is so thoughtful and does a thorough job with spraying my property; and he is a super nice guy. I highly recommend Townsend Pest Control to anyone that is looking for the Best in Vegas!

After buying my home I was introduce to Lyle Townsend as having the best pest control service. To date he has provided unmatched and prompt service. I would recommend his company and his technician, John, as the best in the business. Don't hesitate to ask for their very competent and friendly service. You won't be sorry. I'm not.

Townsend Pest Control is simply wonderful. I had an infestation of Scorpions and I thought it would end. After 2 years of intermittent scorpions I decided to seek help. I called Townsend who was very responsive and ended the problem. I have them as a monthly service and I am informed in advance either by Email or telephone when the Representative will be on my property. I really appreciate their friendly, effective service which I highly recommend.
