Are there a lot of mosquitoes in Batumi and do I need repellent?

TL;DR
There are mosquitoes in Batumi, but not in large numbers — locals say it's nothing compared to places like Siberia. On high floors there are almost none, but they can appear in shady parks in the evening.

On high floors (like the 28th) mosquitoes are almost never a problem. On mid-level floors (like the 9th) occasional ones fly in but are easy to catch.

In the evening, in shady parks, if you sit on a bench for a while, mosquitoes can be a minor nuisance — worth having repellent on hand just in case.

You can bring a plug-in mosquito repellent device for your room/apartment just in case, but many travelers manage fine without one.
