Mosquitoes are a common nuisance in Lithuania, particularly during the warmer months. The mosquito population tends to peak in the summer, especially in Vilnius where there are more green spaces and bodies of water. These pesky insects can be found in parks, forests, and near bodies of water, making outdoor activities sometimes uncomfortable.

In addition to being a nuisance, mosquitoes in Lithuania, particularly around the Vilnius TV Tower, can also pose health risks. Mosquito-borne diseases such as West Nile virus and tick-borne encephalitis are a concern in the region. It is important for residents and tourists to take precautions to protect themselves from mosquito bites when visiting outdoor areas.

The Vilnius TV Tower, being a popular tourist attraction, can attract a large number of visitors during the peak mosquito season. It is important for visitors to be aware of the potential risks of mosquito-borne diseases and take necessary precautions such as using insect repellent and wearing protective clothing to avoid getting bitten.
