Speak you about that which you know not? You think I don't know your mosquito burden, yet you know mine? But it's you who doesn't know mine.
I've had plenty the places I've lived. I've been bit so many times now I no longer get bumps or itchiness. Continue felling your forests to create swamps, perhaps you should blame your industrial policy if you dislike your surrounds.
Thank you for the kind offer, tho! You keep them where you are, you need them. But if you really have enough to share, indeed safe keep them! :)
Northern areas are usually damp enough to enable mosquitoes even without any explicit swampland. Half of the year is snow, which produces a lot of water, and then a rain once in a few days equals mosquito paradises.
Arguably it is already not fair that some people get to live in temperate areas whereas the other in cold ones, but it is then compounded by the fact that cold areas get unbearable amount of biting pests.
So it would be just great if mosquitoes are removed from the equation somehow. I believe the best way is actually frogs. I'm not sure what happened to frogs in those areas. Is it too cold for them either? Should we have arctic frogs?
In areas where frogs encircle every pond, no mosquitoes to be seen.

How is that "not fair", man? I don't think that's how the concept of "fairness" should be applied. You have control over where you live. The thing that's being unfair is you being unfair to you by trapping yourself by pretending you don't have that control.
I'm OK if natural predators are used to control mosquito populations. That's fine I think as long as it is not done in a "keep throwing support at Team Frog" to artificially prop it up. The ecosystem will find a balance, that's OK and desirable.
I think there are frogs in cold areas. Maybe the logging there destroyed the habitats. Or the use of pesticides / fertilizers ruined the water table...What do you hate so much about mosquitos?
