Ants and geckos, but not too bad if you keep your house clean which isnt hard to do considering everyone has full-time maids. - Nov 2015


Lots of geckos in our house. Lots of ants. The occasional mosquito but usually it's too hot for any life forms. - Aug 2014


Some houses have ant problems and occasional flies, but this is definitely not Africa. It’s only a minor annoyance. It is possible to keep doors and windows open without screen covering; however, most keep them closed due to dust. - Sep 2012
