I read an article not long ago about the intensive logistics involved in building the Disney resort in Orlando. It was built on swampland so drainage and stopping mosquitoes were and are the primary focus in running the resort. You're unlikely to encounter a pesky mosquito there due to Walt Disney's meticulous attention to details and seeking out the best people to carry out his vision. It's a good read.
