Pest pressure in New Mexico
New Mexico's climate is arid to semi-arid desert and high plains. New Mexico's dry climate keeps most subtropical pests at bay, but scorpions, spiders, rodents and pack rats are major issues. That climate profile is what drives the specific pest pressure NM homeowners deal with — and it's the reason pest control programs in New Mexico look different than they do in colder northern states.
The biggest pest issues in New Mexico
Pack rats and house mice
Pack rats (woodrats) are a major southwest issue — they build large nests in attics, sheds and even vehicle engine bays.
Black widow and brown recluse spiders
Both venomous species are documented across New Mexico.
