It increased after Hurricane Sandy and never got back to normal. The ones in DC and Philly are as bad as the ones in NYC my relatives tell me. Even in Paris they are all over and travel in huge packs. I have noticed increased mosquitoes for 5 years (and they all bite me 10 months out of the year..uuggg!). Can you imagine what it will be like in 50 years! The famous Pizza Rat will be carrying a whole pie, not just a slice.
