Bee Removal
Boulder City

Boulder City is a historic city southeast of Henderson, built in the early 1930s to house workers constructing Hoover Dam. The city retains a distinctive character with its historic downtown, 1930s-era residential architecture, and strictly managed development — it remains one of the few Nevada cities with a population cap by charter.

The natural environment surrounding Boulder City creates significant Africanized bee pressure. The city is surrounded by Mojave Desert terrain on the west and north, with Lake Mead National Recreation Area — one of the largest protected natural areas in Clark County — beginning at the city's eastern edge. This combination of desert terrain types supports large wild bee populations, and Boulder City properties face consistent swarm pressure during spring and summer months.

Historic Construction in Boulder City

Boulder City's older historic neighborhoods — particularly those near the downtown core and along older residential streets — have construction from the 1930s through 1960s that predates modern pest exclusion building practices. These homes have had decades to develop entry vulnerabilities, and hives that have been established for multiple seasons are not uncommon in the historic district.

We approach historic Boulder City properties with preservation-conscious extraction methods, accessing hive locations through exterior approaches where possible to avoid damage to historic interior finishes. Entry point sealing uses materials appropriate for the construction type.

Lake Mead Corridor Bee Activity

Properties along the US 93 corridor between Henderson and Boulder City, and particularly those near the Lake Mead Recreation Area boundary, face elevated bee activity. The dense desert flora along this corridor — particularly during wildflower season — supports large foraging populations. Properties adjacent to washes, arroyos, or undisturbed desert terrain in this area should be inspected annually for potential entry points.
