MOSQUITO ALERT!

Yes, they are here! The ones that left, of course, because with the proliferation of mosquito species, their presence is longer every year. Until a few years ago we were used to live together with mosquitoes for only two months of the year, those that coincided with the full summer. And we found them mainly in rural areas close to wetlands.

But in the last decade the situation has changed considerably. Climate change, the appearance of species typical of other countries and the adaptation of existing species to new areas such as cities are some of the factors that have caused this change. We now have mosquitoes all year round and in all locations. But it is inevitable that with the arrival of good weather their presence will multiply. And the fact is that mosquitoes proliferate with warm temperatures.

TIPS TO KEEP MOSQUITOES AWAY

To protect the little ones, dress them with light colours and avoid navy blue and black.
