Anyone know how bad the mosquito situation is at different times of the year in Todos Santos? And some educated guess as to what percentage of expats
catch dengue each year? And the heat/humidity in late summer?
We're thinking about heading there for an extended time, but these are our big concerns. I guess these are probably all worse problems in East Cape,
but Todos Santos is my preference right now. It would also be helpful to hear how these are anywhere else on the West Cape...

August, September, Oct bring heat, humidity with summer rains. Mosquitos love it here as well as most of BCS. No standing water and use
insecticides around exterior perimeters. I'm outta here during that season for many reasons including dengue. Monoloco wrote about this last fall.
DavidE can attest. Use Search. Suerte I'd wait for November. Tio

I have lived in Todos Santos for 13 years and have never had dengue. Keeping a simple fan blowing on you at night keeps you cooled down and no
mosquitoes. I live here full time, year round. I have never had to use Off or anything else.

And, the mosquitos that carry dengue are daytime mosquitos.
It's a different species (that is not a dengue host) that bites at night.

With climate changing Baja weather pattern is changing as well. Last fall there were evening mosquitoes (or, rather, no-seems) as far North as St
Rosalia pretty much all the winter, disappearing only briefly around New Year when night temps dropped to near freezing.
