Mosquito repellent

Post by Jumptrout51 »

Subject: Get rid of mosquitoes!!!

The best way of getting rid of mosquitoes is Listerine, the original medicinal type. The Dollar Store-type works, too. I was at a deck party
awhile back, and the bugs were having a ball biting everyone. A man at the party sprayed the lawn and deck floor with Listerine, and the
little demons disappeared. The next year I filled a 4-ounce spray bottle and used it around my seat whenever I saw mosquitoes. And voila!
That worked as well. It worked at a picnic where we sprayed the area around the food table, the children's swing area, and the standing
water nearby. During the summer, I don't leave home without it.....Pass it on.


OUR FRIEND'S COMMENTS: I tried this on my deck and aro und all of my doors. It works - in fact, it killed them instantly. I bought my bottle
from Target and it cost me $1.89. It really doesn't take much, and it is a big bottle, ! too; so it is no as expensive to use as the can of spray
you buy that doesn't last 30 minutes. So, try this, please. It will last a couple of days. Don't spray directly on a wood door (like your front
door), but spray around the frame. Spray around the window frames and even inside the dog house if you have one. Also can be used to dab
any bites you receive. It will stop the itching quicker and go away faster
