How to control mosquitoes at home

Finally, found this simple home tip. You have a lot of mosquitoes in your bedroom? Try this, mosquito Treatment. You don't like those pesky mosquitoes? 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, picnic table, park bench or other outdoor area.

Not sure what attracts them; the lemon smell, the white plate colour 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 superb! It may seem trivial but it may also help to control mosquitoes around your home (especially in areas where the West Nile virus is reaching epidemic proportions in mosquitoes, birds, and humans).

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