- Subject: [NAFEX] New pesticide for mosquitoes!?!

I just received this e-mail from
a good friend in Florida who works here at the orchard from September
through October. If this really works on mosquitoes, what other insects
may it work on?
The best way of getting
rid of mosquitoes is Listerine, the original medicinal type. The Dollar
Store-type works, too. 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 viola! 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 no as expensive to use as the can of 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 if you have one. Also can be used to dab any bites you receive. It will stop the itching quicker and go away faster Dennis Norton
