What Influences Mosquito Activity in Ribe?

Several factors drive mosquito populations in Ribe. The town’s coastal climate and nearby marshlands create ideal breeding grounds. Warm temperatures and standing water from the Ribe River floods encourage larvae growth. Here’s what influences mosquito activity:

Temperature: Warmer months increase mosquito metabolism and breeding.
Water sources: Wetlands and puddles provide breeding habitats.

Additionally, urban areas with poor drainage can unexpectedly support mosquitoes. If you plan to explore the historic Ribe Cathedral or the Wadden Sea National Park, consider that mosquitoes may be more prevalent near water bodies.
