How to Kill Mosquitoes - NOT A JOKE


You may be aware of this, How to Kill Mosquitoes - NOT A JOKE

I can't wait to try this in the summer!



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 around 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 not as expensive to use as the can of Bug-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.

Now these are Good Mosquitoes!!!



EARTH FRIENDLY TOO???

Sounds great. We are blessed to live in a county that spray a vegie oil to kill mosquito larvae before they hatch. If we start seeing mosquitoes, we just call the county and they come out. I have been here for 10 years and have only seen 1 or 2 of the critters.

We have big fat mosquitoes here. And our backyard is like an overgrown jungle. It would be worth a shot!

Worth a try. At the very least the Mosquitos will have fresh breath when they bite.

and I had a mouth full of semi-hot coffee. At least, there was my morning laugh. I always look for it to start my day with a grin, giggle, or a chuckle.

Anybody have a solution to the Japanese Beetle? They look like the innocent Lady Bugs but they infest my flower gardens terribly. We even find them in the Winter time indoors but usually dead then.

Or anyone have any idea if this would work for black flies? I seem to have a reaction to those little buggers.
