I got this from a lady in Ohio.

Mosquito spray.....

I was at a deck party awhile back, & the bugs were having a ball biting everyone. A man at the party sprayed the lawn & deck floor with Listerine, & the little demons disappeared.

The next year I filled a 4-ounce spray bottle & 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, & the standing water nearby.

During the summer, I don't leave home without it.....Pass it on.

Thanks for this tip, Marybeth, leave it to a Washingtonian to find a solution! I can't handle Deet and will pass this info on!

I just read a similar tip that says to use "Listerine" antiseptic mouth wash and that it didn't matter which type...so I will be giving it a try this summer...at least the 'skeets will smell "minty fresh" when they bite me! snork, giggle!

What a neat trick Marybeth! I wonder if I could make a mint tincture that would work?
