Charlatan, a bigger mosquito concern in our neck of the woods is the large number of foreclosed homes with pools. "Green pools" have become a major health hazard here. The city actually searches for them with helicopters, and when they find one, or when one is reported by a neighbor, they send someone to jump over the wall, and they dump in a bucketful of a species of fish that feed on mosquito larvae.
I can't speak to the effectiveness of this - seems to me that if it works, you'd eventually be trading mosquitoes for dead fish; continuing and compounding the cycle. I don't know - perhaps they've figured out the amount of fish that can continually feed on an average mosquito-infested pool.
Usually a 6-ft deep pool would empty itself in a year just from evaporation, but the algae growth on the surface slows that down quite a bit.
