West Nile virus was first found in mosquitoes in Tracy and Manteca in 2025, according to a local news report, and the county has been endemic for West Nile and related viruses since. The mosquito season runs through the spring and summer, and spray alerts come from the San Joaquin County Mosquito & Vector Control District, not from Manteca Pest Control.
Manteca’s nearly rainless summers, with highs of about 90 °F, push Argentine ants indoors for water, and the mosquito season runs through the warm months while the county district tracks West Nile virus.
Culex tarsalis is the main carrier of West Nile virus in the valley, and it breeds in standing water. The district starts adult control at about 10 female Culex tarsalis per trap night, so a warm summer with standing water is the setting to watch.
Empty buckets, clear gutters and change saucer water each week. For spray alerts, check the district directly.
Argentine ant numbers climb in late winter and spring and peak from midsummer to early fall, according to UC IPM. Irrigated lawns and garden beds give them water in dry weather.
Protein baits work mainly in spring, and spraying inside does not stop new ants coming in. Keep mulch and plants several inches off the foundation.
Tracy's housing ages and road names were not sourced for this page, so it does not describe them. What a technician will ask is simpler: where the activity is, how long it has been going on and whether there is wood damage.
Keep a dated list of sightings. For termites, leave any tube in place and photograph it before anyone disturbs it.
