Mosquitoes are a common nuisance in Cuba, particularly in the region of Jardines del Rey. The warm and humid climate of this area creates the perfect breeding grounds for mosquitoes, leading to high populations of these pesky insects.

The most common mosquito species found in Jardines del Rey is the Aedes aegypti, known for its ability to transmit diseases such as dengue, Zika, and chikungunya. These mosquito-borne illnesses pose a significant health risk to both locals and tourists visiting the area.

Efforts to control the mosquito population in Jardines del Rey include regular fumigation, the elimination of standing water where mosquitoes breed, and the use of mosquito repellents. Despite these measures, it is important for visitors to take precautions such as wearing long sleeves and using insect repellent to avoid mosquito bites and reduce the risk of contracting a mosquito-borne disease.
