Mosquitoes are a common pest in North Korea, including Moranbong Park. The humid climate and presence of standing water in the park provide ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes. This can lead to a high population of mosquitoes in the area, increasing the risk of mosquito-borne diseases.

One of the main concerns with mosquitoes in Moranbong Park is the spread of diseases such as malaria, dengue fever, and Japanese encephalitis. These diseases can have serious health consequences for those who are infected, making it important to take measures to prevent mosquito bites while visiting the park.

Mosquito control efforts in Moranbong Park may include the use of insecticides, draining standing water, and implementing public education campaigns on preventing mosquito bites. Visitors are advised to wear long sleeves and pants, use insect repellent, and avoid outdoor activities during peak mosquito hours to reduce the risk of disease transmission.
