Are there any unusual problems with insects or other infestations in housing?
No. - Aug 2023
We've had a few problems with silverfish, roaches, and once rats. Spiders suddenly appear indoors every year once the rains start in the summer (they're called 'rain spiders', but I think 'wolf spiders' would describe them better). No overwhelmingly problematic experiences with infestations. - Jun 2022
None that I experienced beyond normal things (wall spiders, small lizards, etc). - Oct 2019
The lizards in our house seem to keep the occasional bug population down! - Apr 2017
nothing major, some ants are the only noticeable household problem i experienced. Outside never really noticed anything too weird. Mosquitos aren't a problem here. - Aug 2011
not too bad, there are ants, spiders, and some weird looking bugs but nothing overwhelming. - Jul 2010
Lots of bugs and no screens in any of the windows. Another thing you just get used to. There are sliverfish in houses. Mosquitoes, but no malaria risk here. - Oct 2009
