The Truth: Pests Don’t Need Much to Make Your Home Theirs

Here’s the hard truth—it only takes one neglected corner to create the perfect breeding ground for bugs and rodents. That tiny trail of crumbs behind your fridge? It’s a buffet. That sticky trash bin? A five-star resort for flies. And your dusty baseboards and vents? They’re cozy highways for ants and other insects to travel undetected.

The problem isn’t laziness—it’s time. Most homeowners in Henderson and Las Vegas are juggling full schedules, and deep cleaning often falls to the bottom of the list. But that delay can quickly snowball into:

  • Fruit flies and gnats in your kitchen
  • Cockroaches nesting behind appliances
  • Ants marching through baseboards and window tracks
  • Mice drawn to food particles near trash cans or under furniture

The Most Commonly Missed Pest Hotspots

Even tidy homes have weak spots. Here are just a few places pests love to hide and breed:

1. Behind and Under Appliances

Grease, crumbs, and moisture attract cockroaches and ants fast.
Professional cleaners like us move and clean behind these appliances to stop pests at the source.

2. Inside Trash Cans (Yes, Even With Liners)

Even a clean-looking bin can be coated with bacteria and food particles.
We disinfect trash bins regularly to eliminate odors and the bacteria that attracts bugs.

3. Baseboards and Window Tracks

Dust and food particles settle here, attracting ants and other small insects.
We scrub and vacuum these often-ignored spots to remove the tiny clues pests follow.

4. Shower Curtain Liners and Bathroom Grout

Mildew and mold create humid zones that attract silverfish and drain flies.
We clean bathroom surfaces to prevent infestations that start where moisture lingers.

5. Vents and Air Registers

Dust buildup creates a highway for pests to travel room-to-room.
We wipe down and vacuum vents to stop pests from spreading—and help your air stay fresh.
