If you have any questions about the wildlife of Las Vegas, you can contact the Nevada Wildlife Commission, sometimes called the Nevada Fish & Wildlife Agency. Nevada game wardens address many wildlife management matters, from hunting licenses, to poaching, endangered species, and Las Vegas wildlife management. They deal with wild animals outside the range of a pest control company, such as cougars or bears. If you have a problem with nuisance wildlife in Las Vegas like squirrels, snakes, bats, or raccoons, the state agency is very unlikely to help. You need to hire a private company (here are their prices) such as Professional Wildlife Services at 702-420-2750.

Nevada State bird: Mountain bluebird
State mammal: Desert bighorn sheep
State reptile: Desert tortoise
State fish: Lahontan cutthroat trout

Nevada is surprisingly the most mountainous state in the continental United States. It is second in mountain ranges only to Alaska. The climate of Nevada is arid and semi-arid. Over 82 percent of the state is owned by the government or military operations. Despite the desert conditions over the majority of the state, certain mountains regions do receive rain from what is called the Arizona Monsoon. This event sometimes drops significant water on regions of Nevada resulting in sky islands, lush areas of plant life in the elevated mountain valleys, far above the desert plains. The climate in Nevada makes the days hot and the nights cold, a typical transition for a desert region.

Despite being so dry and hot, the state has over 126 different species of mammals, as well as 54 reptiles, 17 amphibians, and over 80 species of fish.

One of the most appealing but rather unknown animals of Nevada is the American pika. This animal lives in remote mountain regions where the temperatures are often cold. The rodents resemble a chinchilla without the super-abundance of fur. Similar mountain dwellers, those that prefer the cooler temperatures of the peaks, are black bears, bobcats, elk, bighorn sheep, mountain lions, mule deer, and pronghorns. Coyotes have also adapted to living in most regions of the state, though the canines do need a water source to quench their thirst. The numerous lizards and reptiles living in the arid regions make for a unique food supply for the roaming coyotes, though food in the lowlands can be scarce.

Smaller animals tend to fare better in the hot climate, and Nevada has a number of rodents like pocket gophers, jack rabbits, western jumping mice, and shrews. Bats are common in Nevada. The flying creatures enjoy the warm weather, and feast on the bugs that come out when the land begins to cool down for the night.

The Mountain Home Range and the Conger Range are the homes to isolated herds of wild horses. Because human expansion into the desert regions of Nevada is minimal, human and animal conflicts tend to be less in this state than in many others. The region does have a good number of pests, though, including porcupines, muskrats, beavers, chipmunks, squirrels, rabbits, ringtails, and skunks.

Las Vegas Wildlife Tip
Dealing With Rodent feces - Anyone who has experienced a rodent invasion in their home will be aware of the devastation these creatures can leave behind them. Rodents are inquisitive, adventurous creatures whose natural curiosity drives them to explore any nook or cranny they find. Once in your home they will do everything they can to make themselves at home - and this includes spraying the whole area with rodent feces and urine. The feces and urine of rodents is known to contain pheromones - used to signal and direct other rodents to the nest site.

Having successfully removed the rodent infestation from your home you will need to thoroughly clean the area they have used to raise their families in. If the rodents have been in your attic it is likely that you will have to replace entirely any insulation materials - which are likely to be contaminated with both urine and rodent feces. It will then be necessary to carry out a deep clean of the whole area, while wearing protective clothing and a mask - during this cleaning period, it is essential the area is well ventilated, however care must be taken not to leave any available openings for the rodents to gain re-entry. The fecal matter of rodents is considered a hazard to human health and every precaution must be taken to deal with it safely.

Las Vegas, NV Wildlife News Clip:
Wildlife Rehabbers in Las Vegas, NV

Mike The Las Vegas pest control specialist, Clark County Animal Services manager, said he hears few complaints about wildlife-rescue operations. Code-enforcement officials in Clark generally don't concern themselves with the wildlife rehabilitation facilities because they don't charge for their services and aren't considered businesses, he said. Nevada has an abundance of wildlife, and Las Vegas is no exception.

"Most of the wildlife rehabbers are real conscientious about not letting them get loose," The Las Vegas pest control specialist said. His agency receives many calls about people raising squirrels and rats, and also gets an occasional complaint about people with chickens, "especially when they get a rooster." Although several species of wildlife roam Las Vegas, only a few, such as raccoons and Eastern Gray Squirrels and rats, are considered pest wildlife.

The Las Vegas pest control specialist's agency uses the wildlife rehabilitation facilities regularly. "They're a big help to us," he said. "If it's native wildlife, we try to get them to take it," he said. "Otherwise, we would probably just put it to sleep. Nevada has many reptiles, and it's important to be able to identify Las Vegas snake species and mammals.

"Most of the wildlife rehabbers all know each other and they work together," he said. "We don't even know about them all."
