Are there any unusual problems with insects or other infestations in housing?
We've had no issues. - Jun 2019
In Auckland there are a few mosquitoes. None carry diseases. Some other areas of New Zealand have sand flies which bite during the day. Ants are a problem in some places. - Feb 2015

Not too may. You get the odd spider now and then. - Jul 2011
Mosquitoes (NZ lingo = Mozzies) are here, just like anyplace else.the mosquitos are huge here, but the bites don't appear to be any larger than what I experienced back home. The biggest problem I have with insects here is that window screens appear to not have been introduced here yet. I called a company that said they would install them, but the price was incredibly steep!The few neighbors I've spoken to said they "don't want 'screen mesh' because I like to see outside".That was fairly baffling, considering you can see right through a window screen. Oh, well... - Mar 2010
