How bad are the mosquitoes and other bugs and insects in Volcan and Cerro Punta, Chiriqui Province, Panama?

I have rarely seen mosquitoes in the Volcán - Cerro Punta area, the Tierras Altas, and the very few I have seen were not particularly insistent on dining on my blood. The only really noisome insect are flies, which propagate exponentially when farmers nearby put manure as fertilizer into their fields.

One sees many benign and interesting insects when tramping in the wilderness, and sometimes in the home. I am especially intrigued by the butterflies and moths, of many species,...

One sees many benign and interesting insects when tramping in the wilderness, and sometimes in the home. I am especially intrigued by the butterflies and moths, of many species, in dramatic plumage. I took photos of a member of the world´s biggest species of moth, when it decided to take a siesta on the living room floor.

While they are not insects, many people think of spiders as insects, so let me mention that there are many species of spider. Most are benign; all have important niches in the ecology, consuming flies and other less desirable insects. Some are venomous, the most famous being the beautiful and extremely intelligent tarantula - though these are very rare to see, since they avoid human beings.

Before we didn´t have mosquitoes because of the "cold" weather but now we do. We have tarantulas, worms, chinches, a large variety of ants, grasshoppers and others.  But there’s nothing to worry about, because they don’t attack you.  Also you can always fumigate, both inside and outside the house, after which you don't see them at all.
 
I personally recommend Truly Nolen for pest control and extermination services.  They charge...
