What Influences Mosquito Activity in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines?

Mosquito activity in the Layou Petroglyph Park area is influenced by several environmental and climatic factors. Warm temperatures, humidity, and rainfall create perfect breeding grounds for mosquitoes.

Understanding these elements helps locals and tourists anticipate mosquito presence and take proper precautions.
