Mosquitoes and flies are more than just annoying pests in Abu Dhabi - they pose significant health risks to your family. From transmitting dangerous diseases to contaminating food, these flying insects require effective control measures. This comprehensive guide covers everything you need to know about protecting your home and outdoor spaces from mosquitoes and flies.
Understanding the Threat in UAE
Abu Dhabi's warm climate, irrigation systems, and water features create ideal breeding conditions for mosquitoes and flies. With year-round warm weather, these pests can be active throughout all seasons, making continuous prevention essential for residential and commercial properties.
Common Species in Abu Dhabi

- House Flies: Common in kitchens and around waste, carrying numerous pathogens
- Fruit Flies: Attracted to ripe fruits and fermented materials

Health Risks
These flying pests are vectors for serious diseases:
