Factors Driving Mosquito Activity in Godoy Cruz

Several factors influence mosquito populations in Godoy Cruz. The region's semi-arid climate with irrigation from the Mendoza River creates breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Key influences include:

Urbanization: Water containers and gardens in Godoy Cruz can harbor larvae.

Understanding these helps locals and visitors anticipate mosquito surges. For instance, the proximity to the Parque San Martín provides shaded, humid areas attractive to mosquitoes. Taking preventive measures around such landmarks reduces the risk of bites and disease transmission.
