Re: does mulch cause more mosquitoes or no?
Mosquito hatch their larvae in standing water - birdbaths, kiddie pools, constantly damp areas, etc.
I've never heard of mulch being a problem.

Sorry duplicate post.
Another vote for standing water.
The most common mosquito species in N. America usually feed at dusk. During the day they need cool dark places to hide, so they take cover in foliage. If you set your hose nozzle on a fan spray pattern, and spray the bushes and flowers (about 3' high or less) during the day, you will see them fly out. They aren't there because of the mulch; they will do the same thing regardless of whther or not you mulch, or what type of mulch you use.
Mosquitos spend their whole lives within about 30' of where they were born, so if you're bothered by mosquitoes in your yard, look for standing water and spill it!
