I also keep a spray bottle filled with bargain brand listerine on the patio. I

just spray it around on the brick & concrete when we are outside and it works

great to keep them away!

are HORRIBLE here in SC.......... .....BUT - and I know someone out there has

probably heard this before, but my elderly neighbor told me a little secret in

how not to get bit by these pesty little " skeeters " as I had been complaining

that I get eaten alive every time I just step out to water flowers or go to the

mailbox! He told me to take a papertowel and pour some listerene on it and rub

all over your exposed body parts. You can use a dollar store brand - but once

the liquid evaporates on your skin, the listerene smells disappears. And WHAM!

It sure as heck as worked for me. I would have never believed it. I have tried

all kinds of " home remedies " like rubbing your skin with a used dryer sheet,

etc., etc. to no avail. If you have these nasty little pests in your area, try

this! It's cheaper than " OFF " which always leaves a residue that you have to

always shower off!

After my episode with walking the dog and the mosquitoes attack, I am

arming myself with cheap listerine. I have welts every where.

Mosquitoes really love me. We had a wet spring and early summer, so we

have an ample supply. Plus, we live in the woods, and I think that

makes them worse. I can't go out of the house just to empty the trash

without getting a few bites.

I find that if I rub liquid soap on a mosquito bite soon after I'm

bitten, it soon stops itching and doesn't amount to much. I don't know

what ingredient in the liquid soap is responsible, and it seems that

any brand will work for me.

I'm not sure what you mean. Listerine is a brand name. Are you using a

cheap mouthwash that is simlar to Listerine? Or just any mouthwash? Or waiting

til Listerine goes on sale?

I buy the listerine or mouthwash that the Dollar stores sell for $1.50. It

is ok for me being on a tight budget for now. It is just as effective as

the brand name to me. It smells the same as listerine does. It did work

warding off the mosquitoes also for me yesterday and today when I walked the

dog

outside.

I was referring to generic brands equivalent to the brand name Listerine. I live

in a smaller city so I priced out the Wal-mart vs. Dollar General brands and

Wal-mart was the least expensive. If you live in a larger city, I'm sure you

would have more choices.

I had not thought about checking the Dollar Tree - Dollar General is what is

closest to me. I will try there next time I'm on that side of town. Thanks for

the tip!
