Weeds Done Right

Integrity Pest Management delivers professional Weed Control services across Northern Nevada, controlling the invasive and NDOA listed noxious weeds that thrive in our region’s sand, rock, and disturbed soils. From industrial sites to residential backyards, we manage the species that take root anywhere the wind can carry seed — including, but not limited to, White Top, Russian thistle, Cheatgrass, and Canada thistle all recognized by the Nevada Department of Agriculture as invasive or noxious within the state.

 Noxious weed identification and abatement

 Invasive annual and perennial weed control

 Right‑of‑way and roadside vegetation management

 Industrial and commercial bare‑ground programs

 Residential acreage and backyard weed control

 Fire‑risk vegetation reduction

 Mosquito vector habitat reduction

 Long‑term vegetation planning and maintenance

Northern Nevada’s weed pressure is unique. Fast‑spreading annuals like Russian thistle and Cheatgrass dominate disturbed soils, while perennials such as White Top and Canada thistle require targeted, seasonally timed treatment. We address both, with deeper detail on pre‑emergent and post‑emergent strategies throughout the site.

Integrity Pest Management maintains nationally recognized certifications that reflect our commitment to professionalism, safety, and technician training across all service lines. While NPMA and QualityPro are rooted in pest management, they reinforce our organizational standards and the way we approach every service we deliver, including weed control.

Whether you manage a commercial facility, a government property, a ranch, or a Northern Nevada backyard where weeds take hold in open soil, gravel, disturbed ground, or anywhere the wind can carry seed, we bring the equipment, licensing, insurance, and field expertise to control weeds responsibly and effectively.

Featured Weed "White Top"

White Top "Lepidium draba" is defined as a noxious perennial by the Nevada Department of Agriculture, and one of the most aggressive perennial invaders found across Northern Nevada’s disturbed, sandy, and alkaline soils. It spreads through both seed and an extensive creeping root system, allowing it to re‑emerge year after year, even when surface growth is removed. Once established, White Top forms dense patches that out‑compete native vegetation, reduce forage quality, and quickly take over residential backyards, roadsides, irrigation ditches, and commercial properties. 

Effective control requires timing treatments to the plant’s growth cycle — especially during the early bud‑to‑bloom stage — and pairing selective herbicide applications with long‑term monitoring. Integrity Pest Management treats White Top as a high‑priority species because unmanaged stands expand rapidly and become significantly more difficult to control over time.

Serving all of Northern Nevada

Integrity Pest Management provides comprehensive weed control services across residential, commercial, industrial, and government properties throughout Northern Nevada. We serve communities such as Reno, Sparks, Fernley, Fallon, Carson City, Dayton, Silver Springs, and Yerington — but our operational footprint is all of Northern Nevada.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Under NRS 555.130–150, Nevada law requires property owners — including homeowners, acreage owners, ranches, commercial facilities, and government‑managed sites — to control and remove noxious weeds listed by the Nevada Department of Agriculture (NDOA). When a noxious weed is identified on a property, the NDOA may issue a formal written notice requiring the owner to remove or treat the infestation. If the owner does not comply within the specified timeframe, the state may enter the property to perform the work, bill the owner for the cost of abatement, and place a lien on the property if the bill is not paid. “Invasive weeds” are not always legally classified as noxious, but they spread aggressively and often create fire‑risk or cross‑boundary issues. If a weed appears on the NDOA noxious‑weed list, you are legally responsible for controlling it.
A weed is designated “noxious” when the Nevada Department of Agriculture determines that it threatens agricultural production, rangeland, livestock, native ecosystems, water resources, or public health and safety. Once listed, the species becomes regulated under NRS 555, and property owners are legally required to control it. Examples include White Top, Canada thistle, Russian knapweed, and other species identified by the NDOA.
Noxious weeds are species formally listed by the Nevada Department of Agriculture under NRS 555. If a plant appears on the state’s noxious‑weed list, property owners are legally required to control it. Invasive weeds are aggressive, fast‑spreading species that cause ecological or property damage but are not always classified as noxious under Nevada law. Cheatgrass and Russian thistle are prime examples: both spread rapidly and increase fire risk across Northern Nevada, but they are not currently listed as state noxious weeds.
We use selective herbicides, targeted application timing, and long‑term monitoring to control both noxious and invasive weeds. Treatments are matched to each species’ growth cycle — especially during early bud‑to‑bloom stages — to maximize effectiveness and prevent regrowth from root systems or seed banks.
Pre‑emergent herbicides are applied in the fall and winter, when seasonal moisture moves the product into the top layer of soil where it can stop new weeds from germinating. In Northern Nevada, this window typically begins around October and continues through the colder months as moisture becomes more consistent. Post‑emergent herbicides are applied in the late spring through summer, when existing weeds are actively growing and can absorb the treatment. Dry foliage and active growth make post‑emergent applications most effective during this period. Pre‑ and post‑emergent treatments can be applied during the same visit, but they work under opposite conditions — pre‑emergent requires moisture to move into the soil, while post‑emergent performs best on dry, actively growing weeds. Because of these differences, simultaneous application is possible but not the standard approach in Northern Nevada.
