Geneva - Post Report Question and Answers
Are there any unusual problems with insects or other infestations in housing?
They don’t have screens on any windows. It’s like they don’t believe in them. Strangely though, there are not that many mosquitos, or animals that I see. I bought the hanging door screens and the make your own Velcro screen kits and they work well. - Jun 2022

Nothing horrible. Ticks can be a problem so if you hike you need to take precautions. Lake Geneva has a problem with duck fleas which can infect those who swim in the lake. Flies are a major nuisance about half of the year for those who live outside the city in the villages/towns surrounded by agriculture. There are no screens on windows so the bugs from the agricultural areas do invade homes in the villages. - Mar 2014

Mosquitoes. And I oddly had a bee problem in my house, but that can happen anywhere. - Feb 2012
The mosquitoes here are surprisingly abundant; however, they do not bite often. The only insect problem I have noticed over the summer would be the duck ticks at Lake Geneva. If you swim in the lake, be prepared to shower and towel down immediately. They will bite you IN the water. The winters are cold enough that no bugs survive. - Jul 2009
