  1. i have also heard that if you spray your patio furniture with listerine, you will never have another mosquito in the area. until it rains of course. they you would need to re-apply.

  6. We have acreage that is heavily wooded. Ticks and mosquitoes are a big issue. Hate using deet sprays.

    The best alternative we have found is a massage oil containing eucalyptus oil and peppermint oil. We rub ourselves all over with this (including a light brush on the hair) and do not have an issue with skeeters nor ticks. Our original source for this has dried up, however I have located a store that contains the components, am going to try to mix my own.

    If I get a working formula will post it, but similar concoctions should be out there
