Summertime help with mosquitoes

I have a couple things to try this summer if you hate insects. The first is a mosquito, tick, and fly spray. Some people I have talked to say this works well but it does have to be reapplied every 45 mins to an hour, it is safe for kids and pets too.

2 cups white vinegar

1 cup Avon skin -so -soft bath oil

1 cup water

1 tablespoon eucalyptus oil (available at most drugstores and health food stores)

This homemade spray does not contain aerosols or chemicals to pollute the environment and it smells good.

The next one is just a simple way to get rid of mosquitoes for a day or two. Just spray Listerine (or generic equivalent) and they won’t come near the sprayed area for about a day. I can’t get a clear answer on if you can dilute it with water and have it still work as well. The professionals say that it won’t work but all the blogs I have read say that it works great and lasts longer than anything else. I have yet to try this one yet but I plan on it soon. Hopefully these help you have a more enjoyable summer or at least you’ll smell pretty.
