Invest in a proper drainage system, or start your own wet-land. You could dig a pond, and use the spoil to raise the surrounding area. Plant water plants that do well in your area, get some fish to eat the mosquito larvae, and watch the Egrets eat your fish. (Egret is a big white bird which prefers expensive Koi.)

Needing a place to put the water, you could use a hose and let it drain off. By submerging the hose and covering one end air tight, take that end to a lower dry place where the water can go. Or get a sump pump at a hardware store to do it.
