Mosquitos and midges are present, we’re in the tropics! Insects are native to this environment but their numbers fluctuate depending on the time of the year. It is important to use an insect repellent day and night, indoors and outdoors, on any exposed areas of skin. Use repellent frequently (especially after swimming and showering), and take some with you if you are going out in the evening; long clothing should also be worn. And always drop your mosquito net and make sure its closed before dark.
