Normally, as long as your birdbaths are cleaned and refilled often (daily),
you shouldn't have a problem. It's standing water that that isn't touched
often that's the problem, giving mosquitoes time to rehatch.

We have been getting alerts regarding west nile virus, and we have been
advised against having freestanding bodies of water......empty gathered
rainwater from trashcan lids, etc. Does this apply to bird baths??? I
have
3 in my gardens, and the birds do frequent them!! I would hate to get rid
of them if it wasn't necessary.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Blessings,
Tammy
