I read about some folks that lived a few blocks off the beach in Manta and ended up leaving due to the mosquito problems. Is this true all along the coast?
Certain seasons (rainy) are worse — just as at home. Summer (or rainy season) is when the pests come out and that’s is roughly October – May. I believe they do spray some for mosquitoes but you’ll want to take repellant with you. I buy the OFF Deep Woods towelettes and always have a couple in my purse or suitcase. In the highlands, mosquitos are not a problem.
