Why Mosquitoes Thrive in Baie Lucas

Several factors influence mosquito activity in Baie Lucas. The island's tropical climate provides warm temperatures and humidity, perfect for mosquito breeding. Stagnant water from recent rains, especially during the wet season (June to November), creates ideal breeding grounds. Additionally, lush vegetation around landmarks like the Loterie Farm offers shaded, humid areas where mosquitoes rest during the day. Here are key influences:

Temperature above 25°C encourages faster mosquito development
Standing water accumulates in natural and man-made containers
Vegetation provides shelter and feeding spots

Understanding these factors helps locals and tourists take proactive measures to reduce exposure.
