Mosquito question - February

[Raisinette]

Hello,

 

I'm going to the western Caribbean for the first time in early February, and am wondering about mosquito's (I'm past child bearing age, so Zika is not a major concern). Should I anticipate mosquito's on the beach? How about near the jungle ruins?

 

I've posted the same question on the Costa Maya site, however any info would be greatly appreciated!

We were in Belize in February this year and had no problems with mosquitos - and believe me if there were mosquitos out they would have found me ( I'm a mosquito magnet). I did have on mosquito repellant just as a precaution.

 

Instead of a beach, we opted for a tour of the Altun Ha ruins.

Just use repellent and you will be fine.

Actually, mosquitos have fragile wings so open spaces with windy breezes like beaches seldom have a mosquito problem. :)

Thanks for the info - happy travels!
