I have a birdbath and in the summer it accommodates many mosquitos' eggs. It's concrete, so I would rather not pour it out each time. I also don't want to poison the water as to not harm the birds. I hope to deter the occasional roaming Zikachu, thanks!

The methods of mosquito control are common and well establish, so unless you have some unusual situation that requires thinking "outside the box", this doesn't really need a life hack within the context of this site.– Robert CartainoCommented Aug 4, 2016 at 23:06

Incidentally, mosquito control in this scenario is reasonably on topic on our Gardening site; others may be on topic on Outdoors SE. But this has already been answered here: How do I keep mosquitos out of my fountain?– Robert CartainoCommented Aug 4, 2016 at 23:07

@RobertCartaino I would rather not poison the water, and fish aren't an option– nelomadCommented Aug 4, 2016 at 23:44

1I think it's a fine question to ask here. I assume that it being concrete makes it too heavy. You want to push the water out, you could use a broom. I typically have a hose in my hand when I'm changing the water, so I put my thumb over the top and use the pressurised stream to rinse the bath out.– CarlCommented Aug 6, 2016 at 2:05
