When I was a kid in the 1980's I had a classmate from Iceland who was very smug about them not having mosquitoes there.

The Nordic varieties of mosquito are not known to carry any diseases, but the sting itches. Authorities in these countries sometimes poison wetlands where mosquito populations would otherwise grow large enough to become a public nuisance in summer.
