Mosquito Control
in Fuengirola

Fuengirola's warm Mediterranean climate, high humidity and proximity to irrigation channels and the Fuengirola river create ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes from April through October. The tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus), an invasive species now well established on the Costa del Sol, is particularly active during daylight hours and can breed in as little as a bottle cap of standing water.

We offer larvicidal treatments targeting breeding sites such as standing water, drains and irrigation systems, and adulticidal ULV (ultra-low volume) fogging treatments for gardens and outdoor living spaces. We also advise on and install physical barriers including door and window screens and mosquito nets.

Yes. Larvicide treatments use biological agents such as Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis (Bti), which are completely harmless to humans, pets, fish and beneficial insects including bees. ULV adulticide treatments are applied at times and concentrations that minimise risk to non-target species. Swimming pools remain safe for use after treatment.

Adulticidal fogging treatments typically suppress adult mosquito activity for two to four weeks. Larvicidal treatments can provide protection for up to four weeks depending on temperature and rainfall. For season-long protection throughout Fuengirola's summer we recommend a programme of treatments at regular intervals from April to October.

Absolutely. Tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) control is one of our most requested services in Fuengirola. We identify and treat all potential breeding sites on and around the property, apply vegetation barrier sprays where adults rest during the day, and provide detailed guidance on eliminating small water-holding containers that tiger mosquitoes exploit for breeding.

Empty and scrub any containers that hold standing water at least once a week — plant pot saucers, buckets, gutters, paddling pools and bird baths. Keep garden drains clear and flowing, maintain pool and pond water circulation, and use screens on windows and doors. Mosquitoes can breed in as little as a bottle cap of water, so diligent source reduction is essential between treatments.

Yes. We offer tailored seasonal maintenance contracts for residential villas, hotels, holiday rental complexes and community gardens throughout Fuengirola. Regular scheduled visits throughout the mosquito season keep populations at a low, manageable level and provide peace of mind without the need for emergency call-outs.

Mosquito activity in Fuengirola is highest between May and October, with peak nuisance levels typically in July and August. During mild winters, some low-level activity may persist. We recommend beginning a treatment programme in April before populations build up, and concluding the programme in October as temperatures consistently drop below 15°C and breeding activity ceases.
