How far can mosquitoes fly?

Mosquito species preferring to breed around the house, like the Asian Tiger Mosquito, have limited flight ranges of about 300 feet. Most species have flight ranges of 1-3 miles. Certain large pool breeders in the Midwest are often found up to 7 miles from known breeding spots. The undisputed champions, though, are the saltmarsh breeders – having been known to migrate up to 100 miles in exceptional circumstances, although 20 to 40 miles are much more common when hosts are scarce. When caught up in updrafts that direct them into winds high above the ground, mosquitoes can be carried great distances.

Question:

We have 2 customers in two different counties in northern California, and both have complaints of being bitten all over. They say they have red marks that itch and hurt. They have never seen mosquitoes or mosquitoes are not a problem. One customer thinks they are being bitten by spiders. We currently treat the perimeter with Talstar and alway de-web the home. The surrounding brush may be conducive to spiders, but it seems unlikely they would be spider bites. What do you think?? I was thinking bed bugs, but unlike every place else, we have received very few calls for bed bugs. We are scheduled to do an inspection on both properties. Any ideas what to look for??? Bill, CA
