Bugs?
« on: April 23, 2016, 18:47. »
Just been reading a thread about mosquitoes. are these a big problem in GA?
Actually, bugs in general?
I'm ok, but the wife hates creepy crawlies. I understand that it's a hot country and that you can put all the signs you want saying 'No Bugs allowed' but how bad is it?....she especially hates cockroaches & now refuses to go to the canary isles!

Would we need to periodically have the house fumigated?

Cheers

Dont worry about em !

Lets be honest if you have a huge aversion to "bugs" you might not like Spain. I have seen the odd cockroach when walking down the street but nothing major around our areas. If your house is clean, you leave no food out, you empty your bin daily you should be OK.

I have never heard of a house having to "fumigated" - but there are plenty of mozzies about at certain times of the year and if you are in "lower" GA and close to the Clot (Park) there is more chance of a nip !

With respect :) I would suggest that you, your wife and family rent a place in GA for one year to experience the bugs (Mosquitoes, Cockroaches etc) and rent a place without gas to see if you can cope in the winter.  You haven't asked about the intense heat/crowds in August and for information many people leave GA at this time of year.

Thanks...not a huge problem...and we go to the Caribbean every year, so she should be used to them by now!
Was just concerned if it was anything major....but doesn't sound like it is.

We're hiring a house there for a week next month to have a look around and plan to do so a few times before buying.
As for the heat?...chance would be a fine thing...lol
We love the heat...but hate the cold.
We go to Vegas in the summer and have been there the last two times that the record was broken, so no...heat won't be a problem!  :)

Like a lot of people on this forum I've had a property for over 10 yrs.  One on upper Monte y Mar and now down on Med 2.  Have never had a cockroach in either. Mozzies dont bother us either and we overlook the Clot. Mozzie nets up and a decent spray and you are good to go.  Did have a snake on our development a couple of years ago tho !!!

Ash you missed the flys the rats the feral cats and the barking dogs, but all these are easily managed as long as you take the necessary precautions. This is life in the med

Don't forget the poor souls whose lost cat is on your roof and they need to go up and rescue it
