Mosquitoes are still present in large numbers in October, and they are increasingly turning up inside bedrooms, according to De Telegraaf. The Dutch newspaper reported on Tuesday that the insects remain active this month rather than dying off at the end of summer.
According to De Telegraaf, the reason the mosquitoes are now entering sleeping areas is tied to the conditions of the season. The paper's report focuses on why the insects are seeking out bedrooms at this particular point in the year.
The report notes that activity levels stay high through October, contradicting the common assumption that mosquito season ends with the summer months. De Telegraaf attributes the shift indoors to the weather at this time of year.
The account is based on the paper's own reporting and does not include specific figures on mosquito populations or detailed scientific data.
What to watch next: whether De Telegraaf or other Dutch outlets publish further guidance on limiting mosquitoes indoors as October continues.
