My wife doesn't want me to water the plants on or near the deck in the
evening.
She said that this attracts bugs. Now I'm not talking about standing
water being a breeding groom for mosquitos. I'm talking about just
watering the potted plants on the deck and in the yard around the deck.
I say no, that watering the plants doesn't attract bugs. I told her
that her damn dog leaves land mines in the back yard that attracts
flies.
Seriously, she told me that she KNOWS this watering attracts them but
she can't tell me her source for this info.
What's the truth ?


If your deck is of the wood type that has any sort of space under it,
that will be more of an attractant of the annoying type "pesty"
critters over what would be attracted to moist soil/mulch of the
potted plants. Though water getting under the deck would be a plus for
them.
