Here's a tip in keeping those pesky mosquitos controlled during the evening when you are sitting out alone or with friends in the evenings.
Take a white plate(must be white..dont know why..but must be....) add some water and mix with Lemon Fresh Joy(must be "lemon scented..but probably any lemon scented dish washing liquid will do)
Put plate with lemon joy mixture outside, away from where you and your friends are sitting and you will find that the mosquitos will flock to the plate, and after sipping liquid they die in droves!!
Folks this really works..though no one seems to know why..whether the color or scent or what attracts them is a mystery....my personal theory is that since it is well known they are attracted to carbon dioxide(that stuff you breathe out) that there is reaction going on with the lemon joy and water & possibly the outside air that is creating carbon dioxide....who knows..the point is ..this really does work!..saw it on a Gardening show...& have mentioned it to others & they seem to swear by it!! Perhaps I am the last to know of this trick???

Natural Mosquito Repellant
If you want to repel gnats and mosquitoes and don't want to use anything with chemicals, mix one tablespoon of vanilla extract to one cup of water. Apply to the exposed skin with a cotton ball. This is safe for everyone including babies,
unless of course you are allergic to vanilla, in that case a mosquito bite might be the lesser of two evils...
