Mosquito lovers will be disappointed to hear that a campaign has already started to eliminate these pesky insects from the humid areas of the island, where they tend to proliferate in the summer months.

The two principal breeding grounds are Ses Feixes, a marshy area close to Ibiza town, and Las Salinas, which has large areas of standing water in the salt pans used in the production of salt.

A specialist team has been called in to control the plagues of mozzies, which could make life hell for the plagues of sunbathers on Las Salinas beach, by eradicating the larvae before they reach their blood sucking adulthood.
