Large swarms of mosquitoes attacked a Saudi town, triggering fears by residents that the insects will be inside their homes soon.

A YouTube film published by Ajel newspaper showed locust-like mosquito swarms invading the Northwestern town of Qurayyat.

It was not clear what attracted the insects to that town but the paper said residents appealed for authorities to intervene.

“It is the first time we see such big swarms of mosquitoes…we can’t face them alone…we call on authorities to intervene and destroy them or they will attack us inside our homes,” the paper quoted a resident as saying.
