To help keep mosquitoes at bay, regularly empty or remove anything that allows standing water to accumulate, such as bird baths, watering cans, saucers under pots, even the folds of your grill cover. Mosquito breeding can be prevented in the water of ponds and bird baths by floating mosquito dunks containing the safe biological pesticide Bacillus thuringiensis israelensis or B.t.i. in them. The dunks, which are available at home and garden stores, are effective for 30 days. They will keep mosquito larvae from hatching, but will not harm humans, birds, or beneficial insects.
