Mosquitoes are a common nuisance in Montenegro, particularly along the Budva Riviera. The warm and humid climate of the region provides the perfect breeding grounds for these pesky insects. Mosquitoes are most active during the summer months, with peak activity usually occurring in the early morning and evening.

In addition to being a nuisance, mosquitoes in Montenegro can also pose a health risk. There have been cases of mosquito-borne diseases reported in the area, including West Nile virus and Zika virus. These diseases can be transmitted to humans through mosquito bites, potentially leading to serious illness.

To prevent mosquito bites and reduce the risk of mosquito-borne diseases, it is important to take precautions such as using insect repellent, wearing long sleeves and pants, and avoiding outdoor activities during peak mosquito activity times. Insect screens on windows and doors can also help keep mosquitoes out of living spaces.
