Random though - bugs in PV?

[J&MWedding]

Not sure if this is random, but I just thought of it today because I just got a few small bug bites on my arms and I was thinking - this can't happen before the wedding!

 

How is the bug situation in PV? specifically in Dec?

for some reason bugs love me! and I get bit very easily (I've heard I need to take my vitamin

 

Thanks for any tips!

I know beaches and watery areas are infamous for no-see-ums in some areas and sand fleas. I got eaten up by them when I visited my destination last. They tend to come out more in the evening. Maybe you could give out Off wipes to the guests? Good luck! i hope you find the info you need!

I have heard people really recommend taking bug spray with you, but I think it is more for excursions outside the resorts. But I would bring some just in case, I can't imagine they would be too bad in December, but there are some crazy bugs in foreign countries!

Im sure youll be fine especially since its not summertime your going. Just take bug spray and you should be good! In jamica I didnt have any problems its more for excursions

I am worried about the same thing BUT luckily I found these great all natural insect repellent wipes that dont reek of chemicals, Im going to put them in my guest welcome bags and take a few for myself!

I have been to puerto vallarta a couple times and I have never really had a problem - I have actually never brought bug spray on vacation in Mexico and I have always been fine. To be sure just pack a can of spray and if you need it you will have it! Also you might want to check when the rainy season is - if its rainy there is a better chance for bugs.

The rainy season is June-Nov. so you should be good in december. I was on a charity bike ride this past weekend and they had bug spray there that actually smelled good it was in an orange bottle. But I wouldn't stress about it, since you will be out of the rainy season you should be all good!

I get bitten VERY easily too - got tons of bites in the US this year - ugh... But I have been to PV twice now and have never gotten bitten and thats in the jungle, on the beach, in December and in May Hoping that the streak continues!!

Late May into June is when mosquito season is.....I think those are the only bugs that would be a problem...
