Now, with the strong winds they are much less prevalent - at least in my neck of the woods. (Cupeocy) I really haven't found them to be any worse that other years.

Only 3 days of big winds. The workers were diligently clearing shrub off the road sides. Maybe even less mosquitoes than the last 2 years.
