The network for agriculture in Ontario, Canada

I got this in an email from a friend and was wondering if anyone has tried this before? If so let me know, I would love to hear your comments on it!

Here's hoping for a nice long weekend!

 

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  voila! 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  not as expensive to use as the can of Bug-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.

Check out the Urban Legends info: "Given Listerine's extremely low eucalyptol content, it's doubtful the product would function very effectively as a repellent — not for long, at any rate — even if applied directly to the skin."
