The mosquito situation in Kefar Sava, Israel can vary throughout the year. Like many other regions, Kefar Sava experiences an increase in mosquito activity during the warmer months, particularly from spring to autumn. Mosquitoes thrive in areas with standing water, and Kefar Sava's climate provides suitable conditions for their breeding. The city's proximity to bodies of water, such as the Yarkon River, further contributes to the presence of mosquitoes.

Mosquitoes in Kefar Sava can be a nuisance and potential health concern. While most mosquito bites result in minor irritation, there is a risk of contracting mosquito-borne diseases such as West Nile virus and Zika virus.
