With countless tires stored outdoors, rainwater & snowmelt gather in
tires; providing a breeding-ground for mosquitoes; especially with
warmer weather arriving.

Since it is difficult to discard water from tires, one solution is to
cut-off the sidewalls of tires; hence allowing water to drain easily.
This can be done with basic knives available at any hardware and home
improvement stores.

An additional benefit can also help with the easy disposal of tires; as
parts of tires can be placed in recycling bins.

Speaking of recycling, tire-recycling initiatives can get a boost; as
the sidewalls of tires (easily available in tire parts) do not contain
steel belts, which may make sidewalls valued for ease of recycling.

Uh huh, right! and how many sidewalls have you cut? No doubt none!
Idiot, try your own advice before you offer it to others. Lets see
how much you enjoy cutting several thousand sidewalls off of tires.
In fact go ahead and try cutting the sidewalls off of just one tire
and see if that doesnt give you something new to think about...

much easier to just pop a desertspoon or so of kero in each tyre - stops
the mossies from breeding
