Treatment to Rid the Immediate Area of Mosquitos

Check this out---it works just super--and pass this on to anyone who likes sitting out in the evening or when they're having a cook out. So you don't like those pesky mosquitoes, especially now that they have the potential to carry the West Nile Virus? 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 Fresh Joy dish detergent. Set the dish on your porch, patio, or other outdoor area. Not sure what attracts them, the lemon smell, the white plate color, 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. May seem trivial, but it may help control mosquitoes around your home, especially in the South and elsewhere where the West Nile virus is reaching epidemic proportion s in mosquitoes, birds, and humans. I have not tried it here in Portugal mainly because we do not have a mosquito problem here in the apartment. I might add that if Joy lemon detergent is not available where you are I would assume that any lemon dishwashing detergent such as Fairy, would do the trick.
