[moved] health tips: get rid of mosquitoes
« on: October 05, 2007, 02:54:35 am »
sana makatulong lalo na sa panahon ngayon ng dengue...

Here's a tip that was given at a recent gardening forum.

Put some water in a white dinner plate (I suppose a small white platito will do) and add a couple drops of Lemon Fresh Joy Dish Washing Liquid. 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 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.

TRY IT --- it works just super! It may seem trivial, but it may also help to control mosquitoes around your home, (especially in areas where the dengue and malaria carrying mosquitoes are reaching epidemic proportions) .

Pass this on to anyone who likes sitting out in the evening, or when they're having a cook out.

It's safer than mosquito coils - no offensive odor and harmful fumes, no risk of fire.

probably the smell attracts them but then maybe mosquitos are easily attracted  to the white color platito (light)
