tintin wroteI don't think the mozzies around Munduk are any larger than those in any other place on the Island, but maybe they have grown a new species since I was there , some time ago. Having been in Bali some many times, you must be quite familiar with the area, since you picked it in the first place, based on your interest. That whole area is relatively wild, north and south, beautiful trekking through relative wild and beautiful terrain.
As for the mosquitoes, outside chemicals, you have beautiful and efficient mosquito nets around your bed (OK, you miss one or two of these beasts, from time to time).

I think you could be right Tintin. I have done a couple of treks in the Munduk/Gobleg area and stayed at homestays. Didn't have much problems with mozzies. It could be seasonal. Actually, it is my wife who is bothered with the nuisance. She attracts them like nobody I have seen, and the bites leave terrible blotches. This is a reason why we had not moved to Bali from years ago. But I am determined to find a way. Over time, and with age, I now prefer the highlands and the rural setting over the busier attractions like Ubud. And I do love the terrain and a bit of the wildness in the highlands, plus the cooler temperatures. Cost is also a consideration.
