Blame the raking of the leaves. No leaves in fall means no place for the eggs to be laid and no place for the larvae to grow. It's another casualty to grass lawns. A "clean" nature is a place where nothing has room to thrive.

I try to help what little I can there by not raking (or if I do, I collect and move into our fenced in section so insects can still make use of them). It does also help my laziness that I have a legitimate reason to not rake.
Not sure if it helps or not since I do mow the leaves with the grass at the start of the summer.
