These areas of stagnating water allow the mosquitoes a favorite spot, but there are some other areas around the house to be wary of as potential habitats: Ornamental foliage. Keeping foliage like bushes and brush trimmed properly can help them maintain shape while also exposing them to more sunlight, helping to keep them dry. Low-hanging limbs. Trim limbs to a prop- er height so that they aren’t so close to the ground, which is more welcoming for mosquitoes. Ground covers. Certain plants, especially those with wide leaves, can sometimes hold water either on the leaf itself or in the axil, which is where the leaf meets the stem. Wood piles. Consider covering your wood pile tightly with a tarp to help block mosqui- toes and other pests from invading. Mulched areas. Frequently disturbing mulch with a rake or other garden tool, especially when it’s wet after a rain, can deter mosqui- toes from moving in by helping to dry out the underlying mulch. Hanging and potted plants. Just like other objects that can hold standing water, be sure to empty saucers underneath plants that could provide a water source. “0VS3PPUT3VO%FFQ JO.PSSPX$PVOUZ” "VHVTU PRESS PERSON Press person needed at a Tuesday through Saturday morning newspaper in Pendleton, Oregon.
