How to deal with mosquitoes and other bugs and creepy-crawlies in Tuscany.

INSECTS, MOSQUITOES AND OTHER "BUGS" IN TUSCANY

Insects including mosquitoes plus spiders, ants and scorpions occur commonly throughout Tuscany and not something that the property owners have any control over. Many vacation rentals are in the countryside and part of country life is that insects do exist and will, in all probability, enter the house at some point.

Insect screens in windows are quite rare and are usually found only in areas where mosquitoes or flies are plentiful. Some visitors sleep in air conditioned hotels specifically to avoid encountering insects, especially mosquitoes, but for most people they are not a problem when proper precautions are taken. Mosquito nets are usually provided where these insects are a known pest.
