Some people have cockroaches. We've had a problem with fire ants in our house a couple of times, and we see the occasional gecko. It doesn't tend to be a major issue. There are more bugs in the summer, and then they seem to disappear in the winter. - Oct 2019
There are lots of cockroaches in Tel Aviv housing. We had many in our apartment until we got a cat and never saw a cockroach again. - Nov 2018
We had ants, but then we securely packaged absolutely everything and the ants went away. Not sure if that is normal, but otherwise we had no problems. If you buy bulk food products, you will not be surprised to find moths or other things have ‘sprouted’ in your lentils or sesame seeds after a few days. We stopped buying anything that couldn’t be boiled, and everything else we bought packaged. - Aug 2017
Typical problems that you see elsewhere -- ants, roaches, mosquitoes (but no malaria). - Apr 2016
Cockroaches. Big, flying ones. - Mar 2016
Mosquitoes in the heat of summer and make sure to treat pets for fleas if they are outside at all. - Nov 2014
A few roaches, ants, and other minor insects. Nothing like what you find in some of the other countries we have seen. - Apr 2013
