Yekaterinburg - Post Report Question and Answers
Are there any unusual problems with insects or other infestations in housing?
No. (It's too cold for much of the year for any insects!) Outside the city, mosquitoes can be a nuisance, and ticks are a problem in wooded areas. It is recommended to have a tick encephalitis vaccine. - Feb 2020
When the snow melts, for about two - three weeks monster mosquitos come out. They are big and they are not shy about biting you either. However, it only lasts two-three weeks and then they are gone for the entire year. We've never had any other issues and had our apartment windows open frequently. - Aug 2018
None in the city. Some mosquitoes if you venture out of the city during the summer, but nothing unusual. Ticks can also be a problem in the summer in the woods. - Aug 2010
