How bad are the mosquitoes and other bugs and insects in the Pedasi, Azuero, Panama area?

There are mosquitos in most of Panama and quite a few in Pedasi; not so many near the beaches. Usually mosquitos will appear at sunset and just after sunrise. Just a matter of spraying yourself at those times and wearing long sleeved shirts and trousers to be on the safe side.

The amount of bugs, insects and mosquitoes in Pedasi is slightly less than where I used to live in North Carolina.
The worst time for mosquitos is during the rainy season. In addition to mosquitoes, they also have this little bug in Panama called the chitre, which is like what you would call in North Carolina a “no-see-um” that bites you and sucks your blood and can be pretty painful. You can’t see them. If the wind is not...

You can’t see them. If the wind is not blowing, they come out for about an hour every day around sunset, during which time you just go inside until they go away, and then you come back outside. You can put on your bug spray and use citronella.

Compared to Panama City, Pedasi has much less bugs, insects, and mosquitoes. The reason we don’t get as many mosquitoes is that it is drier in Pedasi than in Panama City. (Mosquitoes don’t like dry places.)
During May, we will get a lot of flies, but that’s not only in Pedasi; that happens everywhere in Panama. In Panama, we call May “El Mes de las Moscas” (The Month of the Flies).
Compared with Miami (where I lived),...

Compared with Miami (where I lived), Pedasi has about the same level of bugs. Compared with the Boston (where I also lived), Pedasi has more. I also lived in Kuwait, which doesn’t have any mosquitoes at all.

We always have mosquitoes in Pedasi. That is something that you cannot avoid. You can just take some vitamins that they don’t like or put on some mosquito repellant. It gets better during the dry season but during the rainy season, we get more mosquitoes. That is just something that you have to live with.
Bugs and mosquitoes are not that bad that it will stop you from doing something. As long as you put on some insect repellant, you would be...

Bugs and mosquitoes are not that bad that it will stop you from doing something. As long as you put on some insect repellant, you would be fine. In order for the mosquitoes to bother you, you would have to have a mosquito phobia. Otherwise, you won’t worry about it too much. We are in a tropical country, so we live with them.
