| New Use For Listerine
I was at a deck party awhile back, and the mosquitoes 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.
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.
During the summer, I don't leave home without it.....
Pass it on.....all your friends will appreciate the information.

| A great frugal idea...we are lucky here...very few bugs except for low lying water areas...
