I intend to purchase a condominium soon and need ur advise.
Being exposed to only landed properties, i'm unsure what level/floor i need to be on to avoid mozzies.
Been hearing differing views from my frens...... some say 7th floor is good enuff while some say 15th floor to be sure.

Condo dwellers.... your advice please!

i am living at 7th floor, i can assure you that mosquitoes surely have the capability to fly up here and stung me like crazy sometime.

but not sure if different area might effect the mosquitoes flying power

7th floor also got?
But would u say that it will have a lot less mozzies compared to eg: 3rd floor?

im actually eying a newly completed condo scheme where its nearby a few other projects under construction.
Bound to be breeding grounds them.........

I'm living on the 8th floor... Kena jugak sometimes.

better paint ur walls white colour so can hunt them down easier..

17th floor here. Nvr seen one

11th flr.
Very rare.
Maybe too high or windy.

28 floor.....kena banyak...i think they evolved. I stay in kl city :/

Means KL city need higher. PJ area can be lower

My gf stays on the 6th floor. She always complain got mosquito. BTW, which condo you are planning to buy? It depends on the surrounding also.

Most probably Tamarind or Saffron........
Its a fast developing area with 2 ongoing projects while a 3rd launching soon.
My concern is also the old shabby sentul area.... level of mozzie control is unknown to me.


oh no! 28th also got?
but i guess u kena a lot less compared to those on low floors.


good for u
mind telling us where u stay?

My place all white, helps i guess cos it looks bright.

Wow ! Super mosquitoes.

Burn a citronella candle for a few minutes b4 goin to sleep. It repels mosq.

Above 12th floor no mosquito ... that is what I heard lolz

Make sure you don't paint your walls blue as they are attracted to that color.

Eh....mozzie also can take lift mah.....but generally, most of them belum pandai lagi, the lower the floor, the more mozzies.

Ya they know how to take lift liao

ya i was just trying to say they take lifts...ahhaha

and its weird u know.....when the management does fogging, on that particular day there will be more mos!! Does that mean the mos can really fly up and fly up fast to escape the fogging?

BEats me..i also tot i will be free from mos after getting a 28th floor.....rite now talking to u guys, i am getting bitten..OUCH!!

30th floor also got lar, its truth, mosquitoes knows how to take lifts

so maybe we should discuss what's the most effective mosquito repellent, since nowadays mosquitos can travel UP so high, maybe they know how to take lift

There are a lot of ways to curb mosquitoes. We do not have to sit and hope that the mosquitoes would not see us .... In other words, Mosquito Reduction is possible with the use of Mosquito Trap and Mosquito Repellent Patch. For more details, please refer to www.mosquito-free.com

after 3-5th floor there wont be mosquitoes already.

no mosquito at 7th floor and above but there r ghost

i stay at 10th floor, very rare to find mosquitoes. I heard last time, above 8 floors (reflecting to 10 feet high each level) then will b less insects (including mosquitoes). another study abt the air quality stated that air pollution is reduced after 10th floor. maybe you can consider 10th floor above.

if your unit is near to roadside (especially highway) then choose lower level, cos will be terrible noisy. study said that if near roadside, higher level can more noise. I'm working at level 19th now. Terrible noisy. If you are away from roadside, then choose higher level, at least 12th floor. if not, you will hear ppl on ground chatting when u r near to balcony or windows. haa... it is truth...

the house that i book now is 20th floor.

Level 22 also got mosquito wan...
So don't be silly... They can take lift

nonsense...my gf place near pwtc...25th floor also mosquitoes everynite..

but whats the concern lar, just install the magnetic type mosquitoe netting on the windows that you want to leave open, problem solved.

magnetic type mosquito netting?
got such thing?

i live in 23 floor condo in sri seputeh and 18 floor in angkasa condo no mosquito also.

The mosquito is a common flying insect that is found around the world. There are about 2,800 different species of mosquitoes. Mosquitoes can fly about 1 to 1.5 miles per hour (1,6-2,4 km/hour).


talk about fast...

this can fly as high as they want, but they become slower the higher they go....

9th floor. Windy. Mosquito = Positive

Mosquito netting is good, but slows down air circulation, more so when it's dusty.

Electric mosquito mat/liquid not so effective.
I recently tried ANTIMOS. Quite good. Put near fan to 'spread' out the smell.

just look in the property supplement in the star, they advertise regularly, its just mosquito netting that has magnetic backing, so you can install with no screws/glue onto any aluminium frame door/window

i use it on my patio door, very effective, but yes it does cut down airflow abit...but i rather abit stuffy then get dengue

i live in 3 storey semi-d...whole house put mosquito net those magnetic type..

like install grill...install mosquito net too....No need worry aedes then...

Staying at 17th floor and still can find mosquito... but rare
Better zap the mosquito before these spread further


Attached image(s)

I sleep in mosquito net and bring in 1 of this to make sure that any "infiltrators" are zapped to death.

used to stay in 3rd floor of an apartment. so far hassle free from moskito. i do think the surrounding might have an affect as well.

20th, no mosquitoes.

Me here 12 Floor. No mosquitoes ... but conquer by ants.......

use cockroach killer spray. very effective.
use it couple of times, no ants will dare enter your unit.

huh... sure boh? ..... Then must try liao.

Good! Latest important factor to look out for before buying any condo. Check out if there is any mosquito!!

Cockroach killer spray is very poisonous..............

Any other ways to get rid of the ants without using such poisonous stuff?

When i live in the 3rd floor of the apartment, no mosquito hanging around, but a lot of ants.

first check the surrounding of your condo, see if there is any sign that encourage mosquito to breed

second is the check internally of your condo, see if your condo is clean, who knows the mosquito is hiding inside your house, came out cari makan during specific time then go back to sleep?

Eh, I thought mosquito like black colour?

Omg, im staying in 12th floor and there's lots of mosquitoes. Hate it when it disturbs my bedtime. There's cockroach and ants too. I don know why, its a new condo btw. Arrgghhh

I stay in landed property, no disturbance of mosquito at all. Cos the surrounding environment is clean I think.

What i don't understand is why higher floor are more noisy ?

Sound will lose power the longer it travels, that is physics.

ie. higher floor should be quieter
