I realize this is way off-topic, but I live in Brooklyn, NY, a very large, very urban area and we definitely have a mosquito problem. A breeding site can be as small as a forgotten bucket of water. We have had cases of West Nile virus in NYC and they have used helicopters to spray insecticide over the large urban parks.
