Let's not forget that with all this rain/flooding, we;ll soon be dealing with a tremendous mosquito population.
Keep in mind that there will be pools of water for the little bloodsuckers to reproduce in the billions.
I'm going to put up a bunch of birdhouses. Our feathered friends do a good job on skeeters during the day. I would like to put up a bat house (or 2) but I don't know if we have bats in our area.
I look for them when I'm out in the yard during the warm months, but I haven't seen one yet.

I am planning on a couple of water gardens in large containers, and if the mosquitos want to lay their eggs there, they'll just be feeding the fish that will be there too!

Keep dry!
