Welcome to Nature
Living closer to nature than Germany. Mosquitoes, ants, occasional scorpions, garden snakes. Sounds dramatic – isn't. No serious threat (except: Blunt-Nosed Viper, but bites extremely rare). Right precautions: peaceful coexistence.
Common Encounters
Mosquitoes: Apr-Nov, screens + repellent (no malaria!). Ants: year-round, no crumbs + ant gel. Cockroaches: ground floor/humidity, regular pest control. Scorpions: small, painful not lethal (shake shoes!). Snakes: mostly harmless, one venomous species (very rare bites, antivenom available).
This was exactly our experience: Professional Pest Control Recommended every 3-6 months for ground floors. €50-100/treatment.
