Hairspray As A Mosquiticide ...

[sunny-dave]

... don't bother, it's useless.

The birding party have used the last of the economy sized tin of Raid that John bought two days ago - there are some recriminations about the amount the girls wasted on attempting to sanitize the gazebo earlier.

Janet has now resorted to spraying the whiny b'stards (the mosquitos, not the male birders) with hairspray - it doesn't appear to kill them, but they are slowed down by the nice quiff it has given them ...

gness, maybe there immune to alcohol in your house, old used refill spray bottle drible of bleach in bottle and water shake, then spray cheap and cheerful method..bleach dissolves them slowly...nice

[fender62]

you know the plastic bottles with house disinfectant or other sprays types, you can actually take them apart and refill them, good grip pull
then stick whatever you like in them, they just click back in place
so much for buying anti this or that spray, make your own concotion.

Fender.....I never get bitten in my house in England.........or in Scotland or Ireland.......just, for the first time ever last year in France...and now in Portugal.....really serious bites that knock me for six.....

But, since we've all been using the geranium oil we haven't had a mosquito in the apartment.....bliss...x
