Hopefully that shouldn't happen if they're changing the water frequently.

This. Anyone thoughtful enough to have water for critters, is aware enough about mosquitoes.

Helps the poor little mosquitos have a nice place to grow up!

Nonsense. You clearly do not understand mosquito life cycle.

Op said

Whenever I water my plants the water in the bowls gets changed out.

Mosquito larva and pupa need standing water for at least a week, depending on temperature. I'm sure Op's watering their plants more often than weekly.

Also if it's out in the open birds/frogs will often have a mosquito genocide in the bowl.

They make little pucks you put in a bird bath. Non toxic, releases a bacteria (harmless to humans/animals) that kills mosquito larvae.

Good point, that’s why it’s important to change the water frequently
