Just a PSA about flexible downspout extenders: the ridges collect water and provide an ideal place for mosquitoes to leave their eggs. Plus the accumulated organic matter and elevated temperature (from sunlight on black plastic) causes rapid larval growth. You should replace with something that doesn't have ridges. Or attach an insect-proof hinged flap vent. #mosquitoes #insects
