The mosquito situation in Kristiansand, Norway, is generally mild. Due to the city's location along the southern coast, the climate is relatively cool and the mosquito population is not as abundant as in other parts of the country. However, during the summer months, especially in areas near water bodies and forests, mosquitoes can still be present and cause some annoyance to residents and visitors.

The local authorities in Kristiansand take measures to control the mosquito population and minimize their impact on the community. These measures include regular monitoring of mosquito breeding sites, larvicide treatments, and public awareness campaigns about mosquito prevention. Additionally, residents are encouraged to take personal precautions such as using mosquito repellents, wearing protective clothing, and avoiding outdoor activities during peak mosquito activity times.
