St. Petersburg - Post Report Question and Answers

Are there any unusual problems with insects or other infestations in housing?

Mosquitoes are an issue during the warmer months. Other than that nothing really of concern, maybe the occasional housefly. If bugs are not your thing, Russia is a good place for you! - Apr 2017


None that bothered me. Some flies in the summer. - Feb 2016


There is a mild mosquito season and some people complain of mosquitoes coming in their apartments but I leave my windows closed until the weather really turns cold and don't have a problem. You can purchase mosquito repellent plug-ins and a few people who are extremely sensitive or concerned about the effect on their children sleep under a mosquito net. If your bedroom has A/C, closing the window is easy. - Aug 2011
