I remember wondering the same thing twenty-five years ago, when I lived not far from Tokyo Disneyland. I took the kids there once in August, when the Tokyo area is hot and humid and insects abound, especially in the evenings. At Disneyland, not only were there no mosquitos; there also weren’t any moths, gnats, or other flying insects. I also remember noticing some cute birds flying around freely within the park. When we left and headed for home, a short train ride away, bugs swarmed around the street lights as usual and the birds were pigeons and crows and other less pleasant species. Tokyo Disneyland’s wildlife control program must have extended to more than just mosquitos.
