How to Kill Mosquitoes-Not a Joke-Have You Tried This?
She was at a deck party and the bugs were biting everyone. A man at the party sprayed the lawn and deck floor with Listerine, and the little demons disappeared. I tried this at home. Filled a 4 ounce spray bottle and used it around my seat whenever I saw mosquitoes. And voila! That worked as well. It's great at picnics too. Just spray the area around the food table, children's swing area and the standing water nearby. During the summer don't leave home without it. Pass it on!
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. It will last a couple of days.
Earth Friendly too!

Jeanette S on Jul 13, 2014I will also get the original for my bug spray because I don't think it will stain. I am going to spray our dog when she goes out. The worse that will happen is she will smell fresher! HA! (And if she licks it, her breath will be nicer!) If it can't hurt us, it won't hurt her!Helpful Reply
