Nothing is worse than watching your little sweetheart as she runs and plays out in the yard having the absolute time of her life and then all of a sudden she's smacking her little legs and scratching all over trying to avoid the infamous mosquitos bites already in progress! Here's a little advice that's sure to please! Mix about 8oz of Listerine to 2 oz of water and spray the play area using a sweeping motion. You'll notice the difference right away!

You'd be surprised at what you have at home to make the parent life that much easier!

Give it a try...You'll love it!

Thanks,I am anemic and to have a mosquito stealing my blood isn't good.I hate them.I will try the listerine and water.

Great and timely advice, who'da thunk Listerine would work on mosquitoes?!

Question: Will they work on Georgia mosquitoes? You do know that's the state bird? ;0) I swear, I think some of them carry knives! Will definitely have to try this, I'm so tired of buying Off! and I worry about the chemicals, I feel much better using this method to repel them. Thanks for sharing!

I feel your pain. In SC we breed them:) They come from miles away to bite me! Will be sure to try this. Thanks!

This is so cool! I am going to have to try this.

I am highly allergic. Thank you!

How cool! Listerine as insect repellent... who knew??
Thanks for the tip!
