Pass this on to anyone who likes sitting out in the evening or when

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.
Check this out---it works just super! 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 proportions in mosquitoes,
birds, and humans.
Pass it on
This does not work.
