Mosquitoes are a common nuisance in Moldova, particularly during the warmer months. The country's humid climate provides an ideal breeding ground for these pesky insects, leading to a high mosquito population in certain areas. Mosquito bites can not only be irritating but also pose a health risk, as they are known to spread diseases such as West Nile virus and malaria.

Purcari Winery, located in the south-eastern part of Moldova, is no stranger to the mosquito problem. The winery's lush vineyards and picturesque surroundings attract not only tourists but also mosquitoes looking for their next meal. Visitors to the winery often find themselves swatting away these unwelcome guests while trying to enjoy the beautiful scenery and delicious wine.

Mosquito-borne diseases are a concern in Moldova, including in the vicinity of Purcari Winery. While the risk of contracting these diseases is relatively low, it is still important for visitors to take precautions to avoid mosquito bites. Using insect repellent, wearing long sleeves and pants, and avoiding outdoor activities during peak mosquito hours can help reduce the risk of being bitten.
