Factors Affecting Mosquito Activity in Lamin Lodge

Several factors influence mosquito populations in Lamin Lodge. The region's tropical climate, with its alternating wet and dry seasons, creates ideal breeding grounds during the rainy months. Stagnant water from seasonal floods and irrigation around rice paddies near Lamin Lodge provide perfect habitats. Additionally, the proximity to the Gambia River increases humidity, further encouraging mosquito proliferation. Here's what impacts mosquito activity:

Temperature and rainfall patterns
Availability of standing water
Vegetation density

Understanding these helps locals and visitors anticipate mosquito presence and plan accordingly, especially when visiting outdoor spots like the Lamin Lodge Bird Sanctuary.
