Common Spiders and scorpions in the valley....
There are many spiders in SW but 2 spiders of most concern are: Black widow and Brown Recluse. Living in southern Nevada, the cities of Las Vegas, North Las Vegas and Henderson Valley provides some of the most ideal conditions for insects and rodents to not just survive, but thrive.The ground never freezes in the winter, therefore insects remain active all year long. A once dry desert is now an oasis with an abundance of moisture from sprinklers, drip systems, pools, ponds and a network of a municipal sewer system shared by homes in the valley.

Black Widow: Black in color with red hour glass shaped mark in under belly. Capable of spinning very strong, sticky, webs to catch its prey. They are venomous and capable of doing great harm, depending on the person's level of allergic reaction to the venom.
