Wow I can’t believe you did all of that for us Alex. You must have been age’s putting that video together. The information in is amazing. Thank you for doing this so everyone knows what is happening with regards to mosquitoes
Hi Tommy, it was a video that had to be made after all the mossie problems last year! I'm so grateful that Alcudia Council spoke to me and gave me the info!
This video will be appreciated by so many people. It’s so informative! Thanks for researching so much into the mosquito problem and for even looking down the drains as part of your explanation of what will be done. True dedication to your Mallorca Under The Sun community. Feeling itchy now 😂 Love the thumbnail too! Brilliant! Thanks Alex!
Ooh, I wondered when you were going to do drains! Well done for lining up an expert & getting some good info. The nature reserve is a rather marvelous place.
Some great information Alex good to hear there going to try and do something to reduce the number of mosquitos, it won't stop us comeback to Alcudia this year
Hi Alex thanks for the info about the mosquito problem I'm happy the local council is doing something about the problem I hope things are OK when I arrive on the island the end of April thanks again for the info xx
Thanks very much Alex! Very informative video due that We travel to Alcúdia this July and staying in our preferate Ciudada Blanca Hotel😊 Have a nice day, and thanks a lot!
Great report. Exactly right about standing water, never had a problem in Alcudia but was badly bitten in Venice. I always try & keep legs covered in evenings if near water. 😀
100% agree. Tomas taking his time to show me around was absolutely brilliant. I know so many visitors watch my channel to get their holiday information and believe me, it's not always easy to get information here! So huge thanks to Tomas for doing this!
Good information Alex and unusual mosquito circumstances. I’ve plenty of experience working in Nigeria and Venezuela so hopefully dengue fever and falciparum malaria do not proliferate. Interesting all the travel companies make no mention on this infestation? Time to get the Jungle Juice out and calamine lotion! 🤓
Thing is the mossies can appear anywhere in the Med - not just Álcudia - just that there are more waterways over there so the problem can be worse there. Saying that I didn’t get bitten al all last summer when we stayed for a few days !
We are suppose to be going alcudia in 2 weeks, my wife is pregnant as well so I have just emailed easy jet to cancel our booking. Even if we loose our money I'm not willing to take the risk with my wife being pregnant. Thanks for this video 👍🏻
What is dating like for a 30 year old single in Mallorca? I’ve been told Mallorca is a family place and there’s not many young singles there. Is this true?
Ha, well put it this way, there are way more single men then women here. But it depends if you are moving here to live or you're coming on holiday too. Also it's a very transcient life for many and it's a very very small isalnd.. In summary, not great!
I stayed in Tui Suneo Lagomonte last August. I was badly bitten and they itched like mad and this was despite using mosquito spray. The fact the hotel had a lake right in front of it doesn't help.

Hi Mike, I think you should be ok end of April. It's very early on in the season, and there will b a nice breeze to keep them away!
Gotta say it, that Amazon shop is a fantastic idea!!! Love it!! 😍
Had to be done! ;)
Thanks very much Alex! Very informative video due that We travel to Alcúdia this July and staying in our preferate Ciudada Blanca Hotel😊 Have a nice day, and thanks a lot!
How exciting Anna! Amazing hotel in a lovely location!
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun thanks a lot dear Alex🥰
Put together very well Alex, You had your fair share of them Last year , 👌
Thanks John. Hoping for a better year on the mosquito front, that's for sure.
Thanks Alex, informative thankyou. Plus side any videos of Alcudia area are appreciated haha
Ha, you're welcome Nick!
Great report. Exactly right about standing water, never had a problem in Alcudia but was badly bitten in Venice. I always try & keep legs covered in evenings if near water. 😀
Definitely, that's the best way to avoid getting bitten. Covering up is the best defence!
thanks alex (and tomas!), great to see such progressive thinking from the council in working with you on a topic like this.
100% agree. Tomas taking his time to show me around was absolutely brilliant. I know so many visitors watch my channel to get their holiday information and believe me, it's not always easy to get information here! So huge thanks to Tomas for doing this!
Thank you for this detailed video. I did get bitten in Arenal when we went on holiday but it was minimal.
Hey Victor - those little mossies do get everywhere :(
Very good report, very professional. Thanks. 👍
Cheers Max!

Hi Alex yes last oct in Puerto pollensa was bite bite !!! But I'd still go back xxx thanks for the information
Yes, October was not a fun month for the mossies at all. Fingers crossed for this year!
Hope they treat the drains in Puerto Pollensa a well?
They will do Annette...

Thanks for this video 👍🏻
Oh bless you - just to put into perspective I’ve had a child here and people do have children here. But best of luck with your pregnancy 🤗
Cheers Alex
Thanks for watching Philip!
Alex, I'm over to Alcudia every year, at least once, more if I can. Last year was the worst for mosquitoes, I've ever known .
Thanks for the info I’ve been bitten bad a few times carry insect repellent with me all the time coming out next month so fingers crossed
Should be OK at this time of year. Haven't seen one ....yet!
We have only had problems with being bitten when staying in the nature reserve and this is only in August time.
:(
Coming to puerto pollensain a few months! Still excited even with your news haha. What happens if you get bitten?
Take some Afterbite with you!
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun will do :)!
Where did the tiger mosquitoes come from and why only a few years ago? What changed?
Hello - Not sure how they arrived here, but they came.. .wish they'd pack their bags and leave us :(
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun me too mozzies love me! We normally go to the south of the island but they might end up there eventually!
They are from Asia
Went to playa de Muro a few years ago lovely resort but wouldn't go back to this area because of the mosquitoes
Hi Shirley, that's so sad to hear :(. I'm hoping the mossie treatment will be effective this year.
I’m at Mallorca right now and there is bloody loads
Where abouts are you staying Adam?

@@MallorcaUnderTheSun thank you! I’m looking for a place to relocate to. I guess I’ll look into Ibiza or Barcelona haha 😊

Sorry to hear that Andy - fingers crossed it will be better this year
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun thanks. I will be back this July but staying in Puerto Pollensa instead. Fingers crossed 🤞
We stayed at eix lagotel and got bitten alive. Even with jungle formula mosquito repellent
Hi Mike, that's interesting to know. Fingers crossed this year won't be as bad.
Little devils hey
😈😈 definitely!
What temperatures should I expect in May?😊
Usually in the 20s. Cool at night tho
@@MallorcaUnderTheSun Brill.
