nzdisneymom Posted April 26, 2013 #1 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Hi. Some folks on our cruise are wondering about the mosquito situation in Venice in early July. We have an overnight stay, so many of us will be outdoors at dusk, and I know in our hot/humid state, that's when they are at their worst, so we wanted to get an idea as to what to expect in Venice. I know some cities locally will spray and don't have a mosquito problem, so we were curious about your experiences in Venice with mosquitoes.

Rare Keith1010 Posted April 26, 2013 #2 Share Posted April 26, 2013 When we were there in July we did not have a problem. Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lisiamc Posted April 26, 2013 #3 Share Posted April 26, 2013 While there is a lot of water in Venice, it is salty, and maybe that's why I haven't noticed a mosquito problem. I haven't heard any complaints from others, so I don't think they're going to trouble you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cberge Posted April 26, 2013 #4 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I have never seen a mosquito problem posted yet other than rumors that so and so heard from someone etc.Not to say there aren't any and any time,but you should be just fine. If you are concerned just take a few Off wipes with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzdisneymom Posted April 26, 2013 Author #5 Share Posted April 26, 2013 Thanks for the replies - this is why I wanted to get actual "reports from the field" - others who have actually been in Venice that time of year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzdisneymom Posted July 17, 2013 Author #6 Share Posted July 17, 2013 We were overnighting in Venice July 3rd/4th - no problems with mosquitoes. But we did take bug spray which we didn't need there, but were glad to have in Malta as they had stinging flies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
