Anyway, Now is the time to check around the outside for anything that holds water especially dog bowls and rain barrels that don't have a screen on them because while you may not want to actively wage war on mosquitoes, you may be contributing to the problem by providing them with a place to breed. If you have an outside dog bowl for water, dump it out at least once a day. Your dog will be happy too to have fresh water to drink and any mosquito eggs that may be in the water will never survive out of water. Come on, you wouldn't want your dog taking a crap in your neighbors doorway, be a responsible dog owner and don't add to the mosquito population.
