Vienna - Post Report Question and Answers
Are there any unusual problems with insects or other infestations in housing?
No. - Sep 2022
Windows don't usually have screens so I would occasionally get a mosquito (or a giant hornet!) in my flat. Otherwise, no. - Sep 2021
Just ants in the spring. - Feb 2019
Occasional ants, but nothing out of the ordinary. - Jul 2018
Not inside the house in the city. But in springtime with all the flowers - you get tons of bees everywhere. - Jun 2016
Ticks are a huge issue here and the Health Unit (and our children's school) strongly suggest immunizing against tick-borne encephalitis. - Mar 2015
There is one tick disease you need to be vaccinated for. Ants are a problem in some of the older houses in the 18th district. - Jul 2014
None. - Mar 2014
Once the ants wake up from hibernation, expect a few (hundred) visitors in your apartment, especially if you're living in an older building. With this year's flooding, we also experienced an increase in wasps and mosquitos. Ticks are also present in the woods and parks so the MED unit recommends vaccinations to prevent encephalitis. - Aug 2013
No serious problems, but the Viennese do not put screens on their windows, so you can get a lot of flies in the house. - May 2013
None. - Jan 2013
none - Aug 2011
Ticks, mosquitoes. Very few bugs in general. - Aug 2011
This year mosquitoes are a problem because of the amount of rain. Also, the embassy health unit recommends immunization against ticks (series of 3 shots). - Aug 2009
None. - Jul 2009
