I've seen first hand what happens when cities/counties put more funding and effort into mosquito abatement programs.
The larvicide and pesticide treatments are highly effective and can be highly targeted either by airplane delivery or on foot treatments. It takes very little at the right time to have a huge impact on the mosquito population.

I've often noticed that areas with huge amounts of mosquitos have very few fish and few birds. Fish predate on the larvae and birds predate on the adults. I think climate change plays a role in my area as well by increasing the length of the breeding season.
