Hermosillo - Post Report Question and Answers
Are there any unusual problems with insects or other infestations in housing?
Not that I've experienced so far. Hermosillo's climate and terrain are similar to Arizona (Tucson and Phoenix) so any typical problems that exist there probably exist here too. - Sep 2024
The ussual pests like cockroaches, ants, mosquitos, and lots of black widows in the summer. - Jun 2023
We have crickets and very small ants. Both are annoying, but not a big problem. - Sep 2022
We recently discovered that, due to POSHO regulations, they will no longer spray pesticides in inhabited housing. Commonly-found creatures (usually outside) include: black widow spiders, crickets, palmetto bugs (aka 2-3-inch cockroaches), and lizards (also sometimes found inside, as they like to dine on the insects there). Be prepared to look up and employ organic solutions to keep these creature populations in-check. - Aug 2022
Lots. We have to spray regularly because of cockroaches, mosquitoes, and serious black widow problems during the summer. - Aug 2015
We haven't experienced problems in our home, but in September there was a cricket infestation in the city that was something to see. - Apr 2013
We have suffered reoccurring black widow infestations in our home. Sonora is home to several poisonous insect species, so some caution is warranted. - Dec 2009
