Going to Puerto Galera at the end of the month. What pest precautions should we take? What kind of biters should we expect?

There last 2 years this time, and don't recall any bugs at all, though some of the girls might perhaps bite.

Bring some mosquito repellant. I like sawyers myself. At dusk and dawn the mosquitos can be out.
One night in PG/small la laguna I fell asleep outside on the balcony and in the morning I was lucky not to get any bites.

The only 'BUG's I remember were the Spiny Lobsters around 45 fsw. not allowed to take home for dinner!

Mosqui and cocks (large flying ones).

Mozzies and sandflies (ankle biters). The same as everywhere....
....and the endemic 'Philippines Cobra'... be careful if walking in thick grass/rural areas.
I've had a Green Pit Viper in my house before (used to live adjacent to primary jungle)... that shouldn't be an issue at a resort in PG. LOL
Some species of dangerous scorpion, but I haven't seen one in 5 years here...
