Mosquitoes
It's about
that time folks - so thought
I'd send out this reminder!!!! Bernie.
OK, mosquitoes... prepare to
be repelled!!!!!
Use Bounce
Fabric Softener Sheets ... Best thing ever used in Louisiana ... just
wipe on and go ... Great for Babies.
Bob, a
fisherman, takes one vitamin B-1 tablet a day April through October .
He said it works. He was right. Hasn't had a
mosquito bite in 33 years. Try it. Every one he has talked into trying
it works on them. Vitamin B-1( Thiamine Hydrochloride 100 mg.)
If you eat
bananas, the mosquitoes like you, - something about the banana oil as
your body processes it. Stop eating
bananas for the summer and the mosquitoes will be much less interested.
This is going
to floor you, but one of the best insect repellents someone found (who
is in the woods every day), is Vick's Vaporub.
Plant
marigolds around the yard, the flowers give off a smell that bugs do
not like, so plant some in that garden also to help ward off bugs
without using insecticides.
"Tough guy"
Marines who spend a great deal of time "camping out" say that the very
best mosquito repellent you can use is Avon Skin-So-Soft bath oil mixed
about half and half with alcohol.
One of the
best natural insect repellents that I've discovered is made from the
clear real vanilla. This is the pure Vanilla that is sold in Mexico. It works
great for mosquitoes and ticks, don't know about other insects.
When all else
fails--get a frog
