Has anyone else done this and noticed any difference in mozzie numbers? I live in Brisbane Australia.
We had a large number of mosquitoes hanging around our back screen door (which opens into a yard, under a covered concrete area).
We had a gardener trim the trees extensively along our back fence for unrelated reasons. We took a couple of metres from the top and branches from the side. The mosquito problem went away overnight. The level of shade/cooling near the door didn't change appreciably, so I assume they were just living in the lush trees and once that went away so did they.
One thing I was looking into before that was bat boxes, since they eat mosquitoes.
