Las Vegas Homes With Pools
Living in the middle of a desert where the temperature can be 110 degrees during the summer months, a pool is almost a necessity. A Las Vegas Home with a pool can be refreshing and add value to the home. But what about when the home has been abandoned because the bank has foreclosed on the home? Now the pool is a problem if it hasn’t been drained.
I can’t tell you how many foreclosure homes I have shown that had a green pool in the backyard. Some pools were so bad that I could not even see the bottom. Many of the homes had backyards that were not secured and children could have easily wandered in the backyard.
Lets not forget that pools are a great place for mosquitoes to breed and mosquitoes are carriers of the West Nile Virus which can be transmitted to humans. These abandoned pools become stagnant and unless they are drained, they are not only a health hazard but a safety hazard. Children in the neighborhood can find their way into unsecured backyards and now we have a dangerous situation. Unsupervised children near a pool can become deadly!
If you see an abandoned Las Vegas Home with a pool, contact the city and file a complaint!

One of the reasons I fell in love with Las Vegas when I moved here from Boston, Massachusetts 13 years ago was the lack of mosquitoes and cold weather.
I know that a lot of your readers are busy people on the go. As a direct result of your article I have created a city link. So if any of your readers want to save time in looking up the city information they can visit my site at http://www.ExposeMyHome.com and they will have 2 options.
They can click on the city link that I have provided on my home page to file a complaint or they can send me an email by clicking on my FEEDBACK button in the left menu bar. Rest assured that I will have someone on my team follow up with the city immediately and I will personally assure that the person who made the complaint is notified of the submission and any results that come of their concern.

I actually showed more homes today and 2 of the 9 homes we looked at had a gate that was wide open and there was no way to secure the gate. Only 1 of the 9 homes had a clean pool all the rest were green and full of debris! I forsee Mosquitoes being a huge problem this summer
