Kabul - Post Report Question and Answers

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

No. - Jul 2019


Wasps and mosquitos in summer but for such close living, there is surprisingly little in the way of critters in the housing or offices (though we do have two office mice, sigh). - Jun 2014


In Kabul, I have yet to see a single mossie. Flies are an irritant in the warmer months. The upside of winter is that the flies disappear. - Jul 2013


Mosquitoes mainly. - Mar 2013


None really to speak of. We had an infestation of bees this summer but they basically left you alone if you left them alone. - Dec 2010


None that I've seen. - Aug 2010


Nothing too bad in Kabul, but some field posts deal with malarial mosquitoes, scorpions, and other icky creepy crawlies. - Jul 2010


There are a lot of ants, mosquitoes and a few scorpions if you live in the hooch area. - Sep 2009
