Factors Affecting Mosquito Activity in Guanabacoa

Several factors influence mosquito populations in Guanabacoa. The city's tropical climate, combined with its proximity to the Caribbean Sea, creates ideal breeding conditions. Mosquitoes thrive in:

Warm temperatures

Humid air, especially during the rainy season

Additionally, urban areas with dense vegetation and poor drainage, such as parts of Guanabacoa near the historic town center, see higher mosquito densities. Understanding these elements can help residents reduce breeding grounds by eliminating standing water and maintaining clean surroundings.
