[RC] Mosquito Remedy...West Nile Virus deterent etc - csimmons88


Mosquito Remedy
Pass this on to anyone who likes sitting out in the evening or when
they're
having a cook out.  So you don't like those pesky mosquitoes, especially
now
that they have the potential to carry the West Nile Virus?  Here's a tip

that was given at a recent gardening forum. Put some water in a white
dinner
plate and add a couple drops of Lemon Fresh Joy dish detergent.  Set the

dish on your porch, patio, or other outdoor area.  Not sure what
attracts
them, the lemon smell, the white plate color, or what, but mosquitoes
flock
to it, and drop dead shortly after drinking the Lemon Fresh Joy/water
mixture, and usually within about 10 feet of the plate.  Check this
out---it
works just super! May seem trivial, but it may help control mosquitoes
around your home, especially in the South and elsewhere where the West
Nile
virus is reaching epidemic proportions in mosquitoes, birds, and humans
