I was listening to QR77 during rush hour last night for traffic reports and they had a short segment on why it seems like there is more mosquitoes. The guy they had on there said it was due to the amount of rain we had in June and then the very hot weather we've had recently. He said the city sprayed, but that the hotter it gets, the faster the mosquitoes hatch. So they did spray, but the hot weather caused the mosquitoes to hatch faster than the spray to achieve its max effectiveness. He did say though that the mosquito population should go back down in a couple weeks. Also he recommended to check around your yard to get rid of any standing water (bird baths and other puddles) and get rid of or change the water.
