My friend Annie share this article about using Listerine to kill mosquitoes with me after she read my posts on the mosquito coils and the natural gel. Hmm ... Listerine, eh? I will go buy myself a bottle and give it a try.
How to Kill Mosquitoes - NOT A JOKE
You may be aware of this, How to Kill Mosquitos - NOT A JOKE
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 it is not
as expensive to use as the can of Bug-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.
Now these are Good Mosquitos!!!

Interestingly, Listerine has undergone many permutations since it was first invented as a surgical antiseptic. It reinvented itself as a floor cleaner and even a cure for gonorrhea before receiving fame as a cure for bad breath. Now it looks to reinvent itself again - this time as an insecticide. I don't think too many products have undergone so many changes.
I have yet to try it out and so am not too sure if it works. Will blog on it after I do.
