Mosquitoes are a common nuisance in Jordan, particularly during the warmer months. They are known to breed in stagnant water sources such as puddles, ponds, and water containers. These pesky insects can be found in both urban and rural areas, making them a concern for residents and tourists alike.

In addition to being a nuisance, mosquitoes in Jordan can also pose a health risk. Mosquito-borne diseases such as West Nile virus, dengue fever, and malaria are prevalent in the region. These diseases can be transmitted through mosquito bites, putting individuals at risk of serious illness if not properly prevented and treated.

To combat the mosquito population and reduce the risk of mosquito-borne diseases, efforts are made to control mosquito breeding sites and raise awareness about prevention methods. The RSCN Wild Jordan Center plays a role in educating the public about the importance of mosquito control and providing information on how to protect oneself from mosquito bites.
