Splashguards!

Some  people use vinyl blinds on their doors, but it is a little known fact that they also funnel water into rain gauges quite nicely.  One pack of 10 cost $10 ro so. Seriously, after visiting several JoAnns in search of thin sheets of plastic for this purpose, the blinds came in really handy.  I suspect vinyl flooring might also work.
The trick is that the loops velcro together in the back so that they can be removed easily for cleaning.  For example, like when we found a grasshopper living (and pooping) in one of thegauges (B4) today. I would have included a pic of this as well, but the camera conked out.
