Many residents living in high-rise buildings or gated communities in Dubai and Abu Dhabi believe mosquitoes should not be an issue—especially on higher floors or in well-managed developments. Yet mosquito problems are increasingly reported in apartments, balconies, corridors, and even indoor living spaces.
This raises an important question:how do mosquitoes thrive in vertical and controlled residential environments?
The answer lies in shared infrastructure, water systems, and mosquito movement patterns that allow populations to survive and spread across entire buildings and communities.
