Mosquitoes are a common nuisance in Lithuania, especially in areas like Dieveniškės Historical Regional Park. These pesky insects thrive in the park's wetlands and forests, making them a constant presence during the warmer months.

In addition to being a nuisance, mosquitoes in Lithuania can also pose a health risk. They are known to transmit diseases such as West Nile virus, Eastern equine encephalitis, and Lyme disease. Visitors to Dieveniškės Historical Regional Park should take precautions to protect themselves from mosquito bites.

To minimize the risk of mosquito-borne diseases, visitors are advised to wear long sleeves and pants, use insect repellent, and avoid outdoor activities during dawn and dusk when mosquitoes are most active. It is also important to eliminate standing water around your living or camping area, as this is where mosquitoes breed.
