The best way of getting rid of mosquitoes is Listerine, the original
medicinal type. The Dollar Store-type works, too. 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 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 if you have one. Also can be used to dab any bites you receive. It
will stop the itching quicker and go away faster.
