Factors Affecting Mosquito Activity in Taro Ground

Several factors influence mosquito activity in Taro Ground. The island's humid tropical climate provides ideal breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Key contributors include:

Standing water from frequent rains

Mosquito-Borne Diseases in the Pitcairn Islands Region

Using insect repellent
