Qiryat Ata, located in northern Israel, experiences a moderate mosquito situation throughout the year. Mosquitoes are most prevalent during the warmer months, particularly from spring to autumn. The city's proximity to bodies of water, such as the Mediterranean Sea and the Kishon River, contributes to the mosquito population. While efforts are made to control mosquito breeding grounds and minimize their impact, residents and visitors should take necessary precautions to protect themselves from mosquito bites.

The mosquito situation in Qiryat Ata is not considered severe compared to other regions in Israel. However, it is still important to be aware of the potential risks associated with mosquito-borne diseases, such as West Nile virus. Mosquitoes are most active during dawn and dusk, so it is advisable to use insect repellent, wear protective clothing, and ensure windows and doors have screens to prevent mosquitoes from entering living spaces. Additionally, eliminating stagnant water sources around homes and gardens can help reduce mosquito breeding grounds.
