Topic: Mosquito Spray...Worth a try

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.[bb]

I have golfed with a dryer sheet in my pocket and that DOES NOT WORK! Not on tiger skeeters in VA anyway. (where I tried it) Maybe next time I go out I'll bathe in Listerine first.

I know they've been behind on infrastructure at times.
