Are there any unusual problems with insects or other infestations in housing?

I did not experience any issues with insects or infestations in my housing. - May 2023


No, just normal bugs, mosquitos, ants, etc. - Oct 2018


No, not usually. Mosquitoes crop up during the usual seasons, but you can get the plug-in devices to keep them out. the tiny lizards will get in your house (one here, one there). They don't hurt anything and you can't keep them out since Maltese construction standards are so shabby there are gaps in your house they're getting into that you don't know about. - Sep 2016


Haven't seen many yet. We did have a few scorpions (arachnids, not insects) in our house and the occasional roach or flies. No mosquitoes to speak of yet, heard of some in summer with a plethora of flies. - Jan 2014

Massive roaches, ants, millipedes and serious fly infestations periodically plague the island's homes which do not have screens or adequate environmental seals. - Feb 2010
