I'm right now experimenting with the stale beer, Epsom salts and mouthwash spray.

:-O I wouldn't want to be close to you either. That sounds horrible lol!!

I'll stick to the ITIBA green spray. Smells amazing and works like a charm.

Actually nothing "horrible" about it. A slight lingering odor of the minty mouthwash is all there is to smell, nothing else.

ITIBA does a yard spray as well as body sprays?

Put the beer out in a shallow dish in the garden. After the slugs are done with it you use it on the skeeters:D

I assumed it was beer that you uncap and let sit for a while which then loses its effervescence. I imagine a very frothy beer would foam up the mix and make spraying more difficult.

I think he was wondering why anyone would let a perfectly good and delicious beer go stale. 😉

All depends what you consider "perfectly good and delicious beer". I'm not a beer drinker and bought 3 cans of the cheapest on the shelf. 😀

I'd still prefer to drink the beer and use malathion, or is that drink the malathion and use the beer...

Oh I do not spray my yard - ever. I believe its one of the main contributing factors to the degradation of our reefs system. But thats for another topic.

Do your "beliefs" have any studies behind them? "believees" are nice but without data mean nothing to me

If you read my previous posts this is precisely the reason I decided to try the mix I'm experimenting with because none of the ingredients are ecologically unsound and in fact are the opposite ...

Update on the widely touted mouthwash, Epsom salts and beer mosquito repellent. My verdict is, don't bother! It was an interesting experiment which initially seemed to show positive results but a rain immediately washes it away. No way can it provide months of mosquito relief unless you live in a totally arid environment (in which case you likely wouldn't have a big mossie problem) although it may provide some longer lasting relief under a covered deck. Even at that, one small area of my deck is covered and I sprayed a lot there but the mossies quickly returned to congregate, grinning away maliciously and giving me the proboscis equivalent of the finger. It was fun to try but ...

If it's any of your business, I do not have anyone spraying any toxic chemicals on the grounds of my property nor on trees, bushes, plants, etc.

I do have pest control inspection for the interior of the house and rental apt.
It is non toxic for dogs and cats and keeps the brown recluse spiders, scorpions, centipedes, roaches and other unwanted creepy crawlies at bay.

I recently had a couple of mice take up residence in my kitchen for the first time ever and they were caught and released using traps they could get in but not out until the cover was removed. I don't like to use poison or chemicals that are harmful to the environment. Neither do I like brown recluse spiders, centiped or scorpions. Satisfied?

I had termites every year for about 3 years in a row until I hired pest control company. Even with annual treatments they returned. Now, Pest control is like a routine every year. Trust me it is very difficult to get rid of them
