Mosquitoes are a common nuisance in Indonesia, particularly in Nusa Lembongan, where the warm and humid climate creates an ideal breeding ground for these pesky insects. The presence of stagnant water in the area, such as ponds, puddles, and rice fields, further contributes to the proliferation of mosquitoes.

Aside from being a nuisance, mosquitoes in Nusa Lembongan pose a significant health risk as carriers of various mosquito-borne diseases. Diseases such as dengue fever, chikungunya, and Zika virus are prevalent in the region, with outbreaks occurring regularly during the rainy season when mosquito populations are at their peak.

Local authorities in Nusa Lembongan have implemented various measures to control the mosquito population and reduce the spread of mosquito-borne diseases. These include fogging campaigns, draining of stagnant water sources, and community education programs on mosquito prevention and personal protection measures.
