Mosquitoes are a common nuisance in Montenegro, particularly around the Moraca Monastery. The warm and humid climate of the region provides the perfect breeding ground for these pesky insects. Mosquitoes are most active during the summer months, making outdoor activities near the monastery unpleasant for visitors.

Aside from being a nuisance, mosquitoes in Montenegro can also pose a health risk. The transmission of mosquito-borne diseases such as West Nile virus and Zika virus is a concern in the region. Visitors to the Moraca Monastery are advised to take precautions against mosquito bites to reduce the risk of contracting these illnesses.

Local authorities in Montenegro take measures to control the mosquito population through mosquito control programs and public education campaigns. Despite these efforts, the mosquito situation around the Moraca Monastery remains a challenge, particularly during the peak mosquito season in the summer.
