The best way to prevent problems with mosquitoes is to eliminate breeding grounds (standing water) from your property. Get rid of standing water by storing containers that can collect water upside down when not in use. Fill in low-lying areas that collect rainwater, avoid overwatering potted plants, and regularly empty and re-fill things like birdbaths, wading pools, and pet bowls with fresh water. Reduce resting spots by keeping your lawn cut short and removing overgrown vegetation. If possible, reduce the amount of flowering vegetation planted on your property. Mosquitoes are weak flyers, so using an outdoor fan on decks or porches helps to keep these biting insects at bay.
