>The larvae would hatch prematurely thinking it was spring and be killed by another freeze before they could get a foothold.

This happens in Minnesota which can have really intense mosquito seasons. If you have a few very warm early spring days followed by a good freeze, especially if this happens a few times, you'll have a year with barely any mosquitos instead of swarms.



And those are wonderful years, when they happen. At least in my location, the deer flies tend to take their place on those years, unfortunately.
