WARNING! if using Bounce sheet to clean your iron, be sure it's a USED Bounce sheet. Don't ask me how I know (and right in front of DH, too!!!!)

ditto for me too!

I am super sensitive to fragrances so would also appreciate knowing the answer to this question.

I'll try the ones about the insects...they always seem to like me when I'm outside.

Thanks, there were a few new uses I didn't know.:)

Great. Thanks for sharing.

I like it! Anything to not have to dust as much :-)

Thanks for the info...

I"m going to try one on the little gophers, Thanks so much for the hints.

i put one in my hardhat. no static hair and it keeps the gnats and mosquitos at bay.

Wow! Thanks for sharing cjmomma!

except the stink of them sends my allergies into hyperdrive.... can't even stand to hold the grandkids if they have clothes on that have been done with them...

I've tried them on my horse's bridle to repel mosquitoes but it didn't help.

They also work to wipe the gum or ink out of the washer or hot dryer.

Thanks for the info. I heard of some of them but there is alot more listed I never heard of. I'll be trying them!

I put a nail through them and 'plant' them near my hosta. Keeps the deer from eating them.

Thanks for the list Carrie, never knew so much about Bounce Sheets!

Thanks bunches!!! Who knew???

Wonderful suggestions!! Thanks

I am the same way. :roll: It's a pain for sure.

I put one in all my closet keeps every thing smelling like it just came out of the dryer.

I use the cheap ones and they work just fine. Had ant last year and put the sheets down and under and no more ants. It really weorks. Thanks for all the other info.

Thanx I have been on the losing end of a war with ants all winter in my bathroom now I may be victorious yet --charging off to do battle ,I"ll let you know who wins Dawn-vs-Ants

Connie in Co let me know about those gophers my SIL thinks she may have to use dynomite -way to drastic :thumbdown:

Great tips. Can't wait to try them and pass them on. Going to Scotland later this year. Can't wait to see if it deals with the midges there. They are fierce and I was breakfast lunch and dinner every day last year.

Great idea for ants. About 3 years ago I had lots of ants and the terro didn't do anything. Went online and of the many suggestions I chose baby powder. worked like a charm. Word spread among the ants. Don't go there. terrible stuff! Haven't had any since.

Stitchit,I was just thinking,we were talking to a neighbor last fall.He doesn't have a inside potty.Well he told us at night he does his thing in a jar,He tosses it down the holes and doesn't have gophers within 100 feet of his place. :roll: That's what he said.Connie

Have the little pests too.... Please let us know if that works, Connie

You know you can totally freak out a mole with pieces of JuicyFruit gum. I bet it will work.

Connie I will pass on the jar trick theres 3 males in the house my SIL might be able to train them to just go primative :lol: :lol:

Debra MC, We've tried the gum and the little suckers come back!!! But thanks anyway

Great information. Thanks

love these! TFS!

I just hate to admit defeat but those damn ants have set up a tent city on top of the dryer sheet :hunf: and I am positive that they were laughing at me.My aunt says to use Terra but I really don"t like using chemicals around my critters some one else suggested fresh Bay Leafs I"ll try anything ,my brother can"t understand,spiders don"t bother me but ants do?But I say they may have won the skirmish but I plan to win the war!!!

Have you tried using baby powder? It suffocates the ants.

We had so much fun 'running a mole out" last summer! We've tried juicy fruit gum, mole traps, pepper, you name it. Then I saw a fresh mound & DS was running the hose on his boat motor to make sure it started before he got out on the lake & I told him to bring it to me before he put it up. I stuck that hose in the mole hole & out he came! Way too fast! i wasn't ready for him & he went back in & we got a Rubbermaid tote & was ready for him the next time! We laughed so hard but got rid of him. Now it's a summer game for us "catch the mole".

Going to take one when I play golf in the summer -

Fabric softener sheets are highly flammable, so use them with caution when quilting.

I enjoyed the list, too. Especially interested in the bug repellant aspect.

I agree with cjomomma
I used baby powder and they never - never returned after 3 years even! Guess the ants spread the word about the baby powder. Wonder if that would work for moles !? ha

Cinnamon also sends the ants scattering. It's messy, but when you have an ant highway, 4 lanes each way, and no bug spray, a little mess is nothing.
