How can you stop mosquitos from breeding in water-filled pot saucers?

Dr Cameron Webb, specialist in mosquito ecology at the Department of Medical Entomology, Sydney University, spoke this morning on breakfast Radio702 Sydney about a sensible and easily-managed way of keeping mosquitos from breeding in the shallow, often water-filled saucers underneath plant pots on decks and paving.
