Hi,

I'll be visiting STT and staying in Mahogany Run area villa in July. I've heard some things about mosquitos and wanted to find out more about them. When are they out and what other bugs do we need to worry about.

Thanks.

Within the same household mosquitoes can be a problem for some people while others never notice them. If you are attractive to mosquitoes use insect repellant. I don't think you need to "worry" about any of the many bugs on island.

I've been told by many people and I think I've read it somewhere myself that mosquitoes prefer people with positive type blood. Specifically O+ and dislike negative type blood. When you're here you can get a handheld bug zapper called the Swatter for about ten bucks. It looks like a little badmitten racket with electrified "strings". I can't promise you'll get them all, but the sizzle of those you do zap is quite satisfying.
