Pet Water Bowls

It’s important to keep your four-legged friend hydrated during the summer, but those outside water bowls may be popular with more than your pets. They can attract critters like deer, raccoons and even mosquitoes. So when your dog or cat is inside, dump the water, then refill it the next time you let them out.

Old Tires

Old tires are great at collecting and retaining water, and that means they’re great at attracting mosquitoes. Empty out the water of any tires in your yard, including tire swings. If you find yourself emptying them frequently, consider moving them to a covered area like a barn or garage where they won’t collect water.
