Mosquitos - how to repel (maybe)
Channel: WorkSmith
Date: 09/12/2023

Mixing a brew of stale beer, epsom salts and minty mouthwash to help reduce the mosquito load around my parent's home in Qld Australia. It's lovely to sit outside once the heat of the day has passed but we can't without using mossie sprays.  This brew is flicked or sprayed around he outside areas and meant to repel them -Inspired by a FB thread and posts.  I have also emptied any water from pots and dishes around the yard and fernery, and swept up damp leaves  to discourage mossies from breeding in any still water. It's been a wet year and there is water in gullies/creeks nearby as well. It's worth a try and if works, better than spraying with poisons.
