Cartagena - Post Report Question and Answers

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

Depends, but you may have problems with ants depending on where you live. Also geckos, but most don't see that as a problem. I haven't seen any cockroaches. - Feb 2020


Tiny ants are everywhere, but they are only looking for food morsels. So we don't see them outside our kitchen really. Just keep things super clean and they're otherwise harmless. Mosquitos are a problem for us. They seem to seek us out even when they aren't bothering anyone else. - Aug 2019


Surprisingly few. We've seen some tiny ants, but the breeze and the geckos keep the insect population under control pretty well. - Mar 2012
