Let’s Talk New Mexico, 8/28/25, 8am: Since at least 2019, KUNM has been reporting on the growing threat from mosquitos in our area. Not only are they seemingly growing in numbers, but because of a warming climate their range is extending into areas where they had not been a threat in the past. Further, warmer weather means the active season for pests is extending into what had been colder months that were previously inhospitable to these bloodsuckers.
On the next Let’s Talk New Mexico we’ll discuss the various disease threats from mosquitos and whether our safety is at greater risk, even in our arid landscape. And what about other pests like ants, ticks, or flies? Do you have solutions for mosquitos that have helped around your home or workplace?
