What do beer, mouthwash, and Epsom salt have in common? Probably nothing, but if you mix them together, you get a great mosquito repellent that doesn't harm plants, animals, humans, or the environment.
Use 1 large bottle of (cheap) blue mouthwash, 3 cups of Epsom salt, and three stale 12 oz beers. Mix them together until the salt is dissolved and then spray on your lawn or deck. (Do not spray on open flowers). Mosquito just hate it.

Write it down for next summer. Our Spring is just beginning here, and the mosquitoes are bad here too.

Thanks for sharing. So, I can't spray flowers or vegetable garden with it?

You can spray the green foliage, but it is not good for the flower itself. Shouldn't hurt vegetables @slund2041.
