You have a lot of mosquitoes in your bedroom? Try this.
Mosquito Treatment: So you don't like those pesky mosquitoes. Here's
a tip that was given at a recent gardening forum. Put some water in
a white dinner plate and add a couple drops of Lemon Fr R Set the
dish on your porch, patio, picnic table, park bench, or other
outdoor area. Not sure what attracts them, the lemon smell, the
white plate colour, or what.
BUT ... mosquitoes flock to it, and drop dead shortly after drinking
the Lemon Fresh Joy/water mixture, and usually within about 10 feet
of the plate.
TRY IT--- it works just superb! It may seem trivial, but it may
also help to control mosquitoes around your home, (especially in
areas where the West Nile virus is reaching epidemic proportions in
mosquitoes,birds, and humans).

Lemon Dish Wash For Mosquito Control
-----------------------------------------
Pertaining to commercial dish wash liquid, be cautious it is made of synthetic chemicals,
including the fragrant which gives the various scent to suite the customers wish.
Look carefully at the labels, some company manufactures various types of chemical
based products at the same factory, it just matter of different cocktails for different purposes.
Like any chemicals, including pesticides the dose (concentrations, period of exposure,
route of intake etc) determines the poisonous effects to animal or human.
You would be surprised if you knew the toxicity level of some of these synthetic chemicals.
Thus, do not assume dish wash liquids are non-poisonous.
Pertaining to “concentrates of citrus type fruits”, its capability to repel mosquitoes has
been seen scientifically but period of protection is limited to few hours and works against
selected type of mosquitoes. “The citrus type scent” may act as cue for source of plant sugar
& occasionally attracts MALE mosquitoes.
Therefore, while trying out the “dish wash liquid” please be extra careful to aggressive
FEMALE mosquitoes species e.g. Aedes aegypti & Aedes albopictus, which prefers
human blood than plant sugar. Do keep handy other types of mosquito control.
