Factors Influencing Mosquito Activity in Stolac

Additionally, urban expansion around Stolac can create artificial breeding sites such as clogged drains and containers. Key factors include:

Seasonal temperature variations
Availability of standing water
Local vegetation density

Understanding these helps locals and visitors anticipate peak mosquito periods. For insights on how climate change might affect mosquito patterns, refer to Bosnia and Herzegovina's environmental reports.
