Mosquitoes are a common nuisance in Montenegro, particularly in areas like Porto Montenegro where there are bodies of stagnant water. These pesky insects thrive in warm and humid conditions, making the summer months prime time for mosquito activity.

In addition to being a nuisance, mosquitoes in Montenegro can also pose a health risk. Mosquito-borne diseases such as West Nile virus and Zika virus have been reported in the region, with cases increasing during the peak mosquito season. It is important for residents and visitors to take precautions such as using insect repellent and wearing long sleeves to prevent mosquito bites.

The government of Montenegro has implemented various mosquito control measures to mitigate the spread of diseases. This includes regular fumigation of mosquito breeding grounds and public awareness campaigns about the importance of preventing mosquito bites. Despite these efforts, the mosquito population in Porto Montenegro and surrounding areas remains a concern for public health.
