Mosquitoes are a common nuisance in Kuwait, particularly during the warmer months. The stagnant water in various locations provides ideal breeding grounds for these pesky insects, leading to a higher population in urban areas.

In addition to being a nuisance, mosquitoes in Kuwait also pose a health risk due to the potential spread of mosquito-borne diseases. Some of the diseases that can be transmitted by mosquitoes in Kuwait include malaria, dengue fever, and West Nile virus.

To combat the mosquito population and reduce the risk of mosquito-borne diseases, authorities in Kuwait take measures such as fogging and larviciding. These efforts help to control the mosquito population and minimize the spread of diseases among the local population.
