Mosquitoes are a common nuisance in Lithuania, particularly in the Birštonas Resort area. These pesky insects thrive in the humid climate and can be found near bodies of water such as lakes, rivers, and marshes. In Birštonas Resort, where there is an abundance of natural water sources, mosquitoes are prevalent during the warmer months of the year.

Mosquito-borne diseases are a concern in Lithuania, including in the Birštonas Resort region. One of the most common mosquito-borne illnesses in the country is West Nile virus, which is transmitted to humans through mosquito bites. Other diseases such as Zika virus and Dengue fever are less prevalent but still pose a risk to travelers and residents in the area.

To prevent mosquito bites and reduce the risk of mosquito-borne diseases, visitors to Birštonas Resort are advised to use insect repellent, wear long sleeves and pants, and avoid outdoor activities during peak mosquito hours.
