Mosquito Treatment - 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.
