I am going to try it, the mosquitoes ruin the party!

I heard for the thing for flies is that you put a few pennies in the bag. They sunlight reflects off them through the water and to the flies it looks like a hoarde of enemies

Anybody have a solution to the Japanese Beetle? They look like the innocent Lady Bugs but they infest my flower gardens terribly. We even find them in the Winter time indoors but usually dead then.

Interesting ideas! May have to try the "Listerine" for mosquitoes idea.

I'm originally from ND where mosquitoes are the state bird. I'm wondering if it is the alcohol in Listerine, or the mint that repels them. I have heard that if you take vitamin B they won't like you as much. I don't think that's true because I do.
In ND you could tell when a mosquito landed on you (b-52 weight). Here, in OR, I have weird mosquitoes, they keep biting and biting, so tiny I cannot see them, and the itch and welt lasts for two weeks. They have long striped tails. I do not like them. Understatement? They do not stay on you so you can smash them. What the hell? |
You may be facing "no-see-ums". We had them in Utah but I haven't seen any here in Oregon. Are you perhaps in the dry part of the state?

Not according to snopes!
