Mosquitoes are a persistent problem in Sri Lanka, particularly in the region of Koggala. The warm and humid climate of this area provides the perfect breeding ground for these disease-carrying insects. Mosquitoes are not only a nuisance, but they also pose a serious health risk to the local population.

In Koggala, residents are at risk of contracting mosquito-borne diseases such as dengue fever, malaria, and chikungunya. These diseases can have severe consequences and even lead to death if left untreated. The prevalence of these diseases makes it crucial for residents to take precautions to protect themselves from mosquito bites.

Efforts are being made in Koggala to control the mosquito population and reduce the spread of mosquito-borne diseases. This includes initiatives such as fogging, draining standing water, and community education on mosquito prevention methods. Despite these efforts, the mosquito situation remains a significant concern in the area.
