If you average it out over the year it's probably a few million per day.

Sad question... In killing mosquitos, are you also killing other insects?

We don't use aerial spraying, which can cause harm to other insects.

We only use a bacteria that's put in standing water which only harms mosquitos in their larval form (or biting black flies) and is totally safe for pretty much everything else since it needs very specific biological conditions for it to become toxic, which is only found in the stomachs of mosquitos and black flies.
