Who would have thought Listerine would work on more than bade breath!
Have you ever had an outdoor party at your home or garden where the bugs seemed to be having all the fun biting everyone?
At a recent party, I noticed a man spraying the lawn and deck floor with Listerine!
The little pesty demons disappeared! ![]()
The very next outdoor event I had I filled a small spray bottle with some cheap listerine and used it around my seat whenever I saw mosquitoes.
It worked as well.. It even worked at a picnic where we sprayed the area around the food table, the children’s swing area, and the standing water nearby.
During the summer, I don’t leave home without it!
Feel free to try it yourself and pass this tip on.
I have been told that it repels chiggers too.
OUR FRIEND’S COMMENTS:
I tried this on my deck and around all of my doors. It works – in fact, it killed them
instantly. I bought my bottle from Target and it cost me $1.89. It really doesn’t take much, and it is a big bottle, too; so it is not as expensive to use as the can of Bug-spray you buy that doesn’t last 30 minutes.
So, try this, please. It will last a couple of days. Don’t spray directly on a wood door (like your front door), but spray around the frame. Spray around the window frames, and even inside the dog house.
Maybe your next outdoor event won’t be ruined by naughty little un-invited pest!

Great idea! I will have to give it a try. Denise
Every thought about eating them afterwards? Great for fresh breath!!!
Excellent tip – I’ll give it go – we get stacks of the critters at our place in Spain in the summer. Right near the golf course, river & ponds!
Hey…now that’s a marketing idea! I imagine if they see their buddies get eaten that might scare the rest of them away. Please give that a try and let us all know what they taste like and how it works out!
Thanks Mr. Wizzer!
