Keep Mosquitos In Check!

I got this from a good friend.  She only passes things on if they work. I haven't tried this yet, but it sounds like a winner.  I do know that putting a Bounce sheet in your belt loop or pocket to keep them away really does work!  I did it last summer and NO bites for me!  And that is saying something because mosquitoes LOVE my blood.  I am a magnet for them.

HOW TO KILL MOSQUITOES

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.

I wonder if this would work for flies and cockroaches too. We get those so bad out here because of the desert. Maybe I'll try it.

Luckily, I don't have the problem with mosquitos like so many people do!
