Are there a lot of mosquitoes in Turkey in summer, and do you need bug spray?

A traveler who arrived in early July said mosquitoes bit badly at night and advised anyone not yet there to bring a plug-in mosquito repellent (fumitox).

Another traveler asked about mosquitoes and midges, especially after sunset, wondering if they bother guests much.

One person asked whether mosquitoes are still a problem in August and whether water shoes are needed since the sea depth drops off quickly near the shore.

Another traveler asked in advance about evening mosquitoes and midges, wondering if insect repellent sprays and creams are necessary to pack.
