Mosquito & Tick Control in Albuquerque
Albuquerque is dry most of the year, but mosquitoes get their window during monsoon season and around any standing water, from the bosque and irrigation ditches to a forgotten saucer under a potted plant. Ticks turn up in tall grass and brush, especially near trails and where pets roam. Seasonal treatment focuses on the breeding sites and yard harborage that drive the problem, so you can actually use your yard in summer.
Why mosquitoes spike in monsoon season
Our mosquito pressure is seasonal and tied to water. When the summer monsoon brings rain, and where irrigation, ditches, the bosque, or standing water sit nearby, mosquitoes get the moisture they need to breed quickly. Around Albuquerque, Corrales, and the river-adjacent areas of Los Lunas and Bernalillo, that is when calls climb. Timing treatment to the season is what makes it worthwhile.
How we reduce mosquitoes and ticks
The most effective step is cutting down breeding sites, so we look for standing water and the shady, humid resting spots where adult mosquitoes hide during the day. We treat that yard harborage along with shrubs and ground cover. For ticks, we focus on tall grass, brush lines, and the edges where pets and people pass, since that is where they wait for a host.
What you can do between visits
Emptying standing water weekly, from saucers, buckets, toys, and clogged gutters, removes the nurseries that produce the next generation. Keeping grass trimmed and brush cut back reduces tick habitat near the house. We will point out the specific spots on your property worth fixing.
