Hi Doreen. Here's a recipe that works wonders. Use an extra-large pitcher to mix: 1 large bottle of Blue Mouthwash (Dollar Store works great), 3 cups of Epson Salt, and 3 cans of stale beer. Mix until the Epson Salts is dissolved. Pour into small spray bottle. Spray your yard generously, around the shed, patio, flower and veggie beds, you patio furniture, and everywhere I didn't mention. This batch will last the entire summer. Works at keeping mosquitoes, and other insects, away for hours on end.
