It's mosquito season, so here's some good repelling information!!
Use Bounce Fabric Softener Sheets - Just wipe on and go. Great for babies.
Take one vitamin B-1 tablet a day April through October. Supposedly people that do this don't get mosquito bites.
If you eat bananas, the mosquitos like you - something about the banana oil as your body processes it. Stop eating bananas for the summer and mosquitos will be less interested.
Vick's Vaporub - mosquitos don't like it.
Plant marigolds around the yard. These flowers give off a smell that bugs do not like.
Avon Skin-So-Soft bath oil - mix about half and half with alcohol.
Pure vanilla - works great for repelling mosquitos and ticks.
Wear white or light colored clothing. Mosquitos are attracted to dark colored clothing.
Get a frog!!
And don't forget your pets! Tuck a Bounce sheet under their collar when they go outside to protect them as well!! |
