My pal, elldeedvm, the vet in the east mountains, sends this long. Absent my old pal, the mad vet of the prairies, EllDee's my source for wisdom biological:She wrote: FYI. Too good an idea not to pass on, and definitely cheaper than those smelly sprays and Avon products (which smell great, but only last a short time, too).
Subject: MOSQUITO SPRAY I can't wait to try this in the summer! 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 itis not as expensive to use as the can of spray you buy that doesn't last30 minutes. So, try this, please. It will last a couple of days. Don'tspray directly on a wood door (like your front door), but spray aroundthe frame. Spray around the window frames, and even inside the dog house
