Mosquitoes are a common nuisance in Lithuania, particularly in the Dzūkija National Park. The humid climate and abundant water sources in the park create ideal breeding grounds for these blood-sucking insects. Mosquitoes are most active during the warm summer months, making outdoor activities in the park less enjoyable for visitors.

In addition to being a nuisance, mosquitoes in Dzūkija National Park can also pose a health risk. Mosquito-borne diseases such as West Nile virus and Lyme disease are a concern in the region. Visitors are advised to take precautions such as wearing long sleeves and using insect repellent to reduce the risk of being bitten by infected mosquitoes.

The mosquito situation in Dzūkija National Park can vary depending on factors such as weather patterns and mosquito population levels. Local authorities often implement mosquito control measures to reduce the mosquito population and minimize the risk of disease transmission. Despite these efforts, it is important for visitors to be vigilant and protect themselves from mosquito bites.
