Answer 1

  keep the grass cut short they do not like dry areas

Answer 2

Mosquitoes are hiding in the tall grass to get into the shade and escape the heat.  Illinois public health department put this out in an effort to help people there to get rid of mosquitoes.

Get rid of any standing water & cut the grass shorter.

Answer 3

Hmmm, actually they love the water, specifically standing water.  Is your shed near a pond or do you have a drainage problem in the back yard where your lawn is always soggy?  get rid of the water and you'll minimize the skeeters!
