Mosquitoes are a common nuisance in Lithuania, particularly in Labanoras Regional Park. The park's abundant lakes, rivers, and wetlands provide ideal breeding grounds for these pesky insects. Mosquitoes are most active during the warm summer months, and visitors to the park are advised to take precautions to prevent mosquito bites.

In addition to being annoying, mosquitoes can also pose a health risk. In Lithuania, there have been cases of mosquito-borne diseases such as West Nile virus and tick-borne encephalitis. These diseases can cause flu-like symptoms and, in severe cases, neurological complications. It is important for visitors to Labanoras Regional Park to take measures to protect themselves from mosquito bites to reduce the risk of contracting these diseases.

To avoid mosquito bites while visiting Labanoras Regional Park, visitors are advised to use insect repellent, wear long sleeves and pants, and avoid being outdoors during peak mosquito activity times, such as dawn and dusk. It is also recommended to use mosquito nets in sleeping areas and to keep doors and windows closed or screened to prevent mosquitoes from entering indoor spaces.
