Port Moresby - Post Report Question and Answers

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

Ants are an irritant. Bring ant bait in your shipment. Mosquitoes are prevalent; electric fans, bug spray and long sleeves/pants help. The compound is sometimes sprayed but not on a strict schedule. - Aug 2025

Not really. Surprisingly few for the climate. - Jun 2016
