2.) Watch for used tires as breeding and harborage sites.
Keep a keen eye out for used tires (including tire swings), as they are one of the favorite and most prolific breeding and harborage sites for some species, especially the Asian tiger mosquito (Aedes albopictus) and the yellow fever mosquito (Ae. aegypti). Drill holes in the tires so that the water drains completely. Then, during each subsequent visit, check the tires and remove any debris, garbage, kids’ toys, etc., that could block the drainage holes.
