:lol: I thought you meant to keep humans away! It gave me a good laugh when I realized what you really meant! I could use some of THAT at work if anyone invents any!

My cousin told me to use skin so soft mixed with listerine, haven't tried it yet but he uses it all the time.

If mosquitoes are bugging you while outside either grilling or picnicing, put a white paper or regular plate somewhere near you with lemon joy dishwashing detergent and a little bit of water....doesn't take much of either. My dh grilled in N. AR and the mosquitoes were trying to carry him off and we put this on the step of the camper and kept them away. (He's a mosquito magnet)
