Hi Everybody,
Just wanted to let yall know about a great way to keep the mosquitoes off while out in the yard. It's Listerine. Just spray it on your body the same way as if you were using "OFF". Not only does it work as well or even better than Deep Woods OFF, its safe & a whole lot cheaper! It has to be the "original" Listerine, NOT the mint flavor. You can use the Dollar Store brand ($2.00) or Walmart's Equate brand ($2.50) as long as it's the original flavor. I had been using Deep Woods OFF with 29% Deet & having to spray every few hours and was still getting bites. I know Deet is bad for you but other than dressing in long pants & shirt in 90 degree weather, I had no choice. I've tried about every tip & suggestion there is to keep them away but nothing has ever worked until "Listerine". I honestly didn't think it would work either, But I've been using & testing it for the past 3 weeks & it REALLY DOES WORK. And if it works for me, it should work for anyone because the mosquitoes LOVE me! At dusk while watering my flowers, I can hear the moquitoes swarming around me BUT NO BITES!!! And tonight my mother-in-law's legs were covered in black dots that were actually moquitoes. She sprayed with Listerine & they completely went away. So...she told me to spread the word!!!
