Jake Hartle, deputy general manager with the Placer County Vector Control District, said the weather is to blame for the boom in mosquitoes.
Then, agricultural mosquitoes move into urban areas to hide out for the winter while crops are picked.
Hartle's work is focused on Placer County, but he said overall, his district has seen a major decrease in mosquitoes carrying the West Nile virus since the summer.
"It's impacting everybody, like you can't get away from it," said Violet Marshall, who lives in Carmichael.
Molly Willing, who lives in Sacramento, said her home has been swarmed with mosquitoes. She said she has noticed they are even attracted to wet paper towels.
Mary Coughlin, who lives in South Natomas, said she was bitten at least six times while walking a few feet from a parking lot to an office building in the evening.
Hartle said mosquitoes are attracted to some people more than others based on scent, but the best ways to protect yourself are to wear mosquito repellent, wear long sleeves in the morning and evening, and get rid of any standing water.
