Where I live the KABS (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Mosquito_Control_Association https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_Mosquito_Control_Associ...) is very effective at reducing mosquito populations: "At a cost of 400k€ annually the result is a reduction of the mosquito population by 99% compared to untreated areas", and 95% of total mosquitoes in the larger area. They use proteins produced by a bacterium (Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis) to kill the larvae. It's fantastic, their work improves quality of life significantly.
