Common Mosquito Hotspots in the UK in October

While the UK may not be as synonymous with mosquitoes as tropical countries, these insects can still be a concern, even in October. Cooler weather means fewer mosquitoes overall, but there are certain areas and times when they can still be a nuisance. Here’s a look at where mosquitoes are most common in the UK during October and how you can protect yourself with incognito’s 100% natural insect repellent products.

1. Bedrooms and Indoor Spaces

As temperatures drop in autumn, mosquitoes tend to seek warmer environments, making bedrooms and indoor spaces prime locations for bites. Mosquitoes can enter homes through open windows or doors and become more active in the evening and night, making sleep difficult for some. Bedrooms in cities like London, especially in more humid or poorly ventilated areas, are still at risk.

Protection Tip: Use incognito's Room Refresher to naturally ward off insects indoors. It provides a pleasant scent while keeping mosquitoes at bay without the need for harsh chemicals.

2. Riversides and Wetlands

Mosquitoes thrive near stagnant water, so riversides, lakes, and wetlands remain hotspots for mosquito activity, even in October. Locations like Norfolk Broads and the Thames Estuary can still attract mosquitoes due to the proximity to water sources. If you're planning any outdoor walks or riverside picnics, especially at dawn or dusk, you might encounter mosquitoes.

Protection Tip: Pack incognito's Insect Repellent Spray for a quick, effective solution. Its 100% natural formula provides at least 4 hours of protection* and is perfect for outdoor use, especially near riversides.

3. Coastal Areas

Coastal towns in southern UK, such as Brighton or Cornwall, can still see mosquito activity in October. While sea breezes can help deter insects, areas near marshes or estuaries are at risk. Mosquitoes are especially active during warmer evenings, so coastal camping or evening beach walks might expose you to bites.

Protection Tip: Keep incognito's Insect Repellent Roll-On handy for easy, on-the-go protection. This pocket-sized solution is perfect for coastal strolls or outdoor dining by the beach, offering natural protection without sticky residue.
