Who would have thought Listerine would work on more than bade breath!

angry-man-swatting-mosquitoHave 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! mosquito

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!

Tankless Water Heaters by Low Energy Systems

Are you considering a tankless water heater?

Keep in mind that they can run entirely on gas (both propane and natural gas)  are available and require no electricity.

When shopping for a new hot water heater and considering going tankless, it is important to select the correct water heater.

ALWAYS NOTE many of them say gas, but they still require electricity for the electric spark ignition and electrical components.

This is always important for us at Home And Garden Guide Online to point this out to or website visitors who are considering a tankless hot water heater for their home or garden greenhouse.

Some of our customers say they want one that runs entirely on electricity.

It’s important to note that when you want to run a heater completely off of electricity, your current electrical service must be able to handle it?
