Minty Mosquitoes

Tip of the Day: A spray a day keeps the mosquitoes away.

Did you know that spraying Listerine (or any generic store brand mouthwash) works just as well, if not better, than bug spray to keep those mosquitoes at bay? My neighbor just told me this neat little tip. It's worth a shot anyway and worse comes to worse, you smell minty fresh! Instructions are to spray the Listerine around the deck, chairs, doorways, window frames, tables, etc (basically anything outside) with the Listerine and it kills the little sucker or at least makes them go away. For all you moms with kids, this could be better than spraying harsh chemicals on your kids. For you pet lovers, this should work as well on the dog house. I have to assume since you put this stuff in your mouth that spraying on your skin is not caustic or toxic.

Let me know how this works for you folks out there .
