I didn't come up with these hints, but they sound pretty good.
It's about that time folks, at least here in the south it is --
OK, mosquitos.....prepare to be repelled!!!!!
Use Bounce Fabric Softener Sheets...Best thing ever used in
Louisiana....just wipe on & go....Great for Babies too
Bob, a fisherman, takes one vitamin B-1 tablet a day
April through October. He said it works,
hasn't had a mosquito bite in 33 years. Try it.
Every one he has talked into trying it works on them.
Vitimin B-1( Thiamine Hydrochloride 100 mg.)
If you eat bananas,
the mosquitos like you, something about the banana oil
as your body processes it.
Stop eating bananas for the summer and the mosquitos
will be much less interested.
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.
Marines who spend a great deal of time
"camping out" say that the very best mosquito
repellant you can use is
Avon Skin-So-Soft bath oil mixed about
half and half with alcohol.
One of the best natural insect repellants 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
Fight West Nile in skeeter land!!!
