kakadu camp site was dry ,you used water only washing clothing or skin in the daylight, it drained away ,but mosquitoes oy vey.In Darwin you quite often see community service announcements on TV telling you not to leave containers with water lying around because they provide breeding habitats for mosquitoes. Anyone that has lived there for a while knows that these messages are created by clueless idiots from down south.
In the tropics leaf litter is moist enough to support mosquito larvae and that’s where they breed. Any water in containers in your yard will very quickly be surrounded by birds, frogs and lizards and the mosquitoes don’t stand a chance.
I was in a shared room ,with mosquito mesh on the windows ,the people in tents! one womans bites were like scifi,they were horrendous,some people have this strange mindset that nature almost doesn't exist
