Repel Mosquitoes with Fabric Softener

Posted at 21:09, 10/06/2008 by LoriDeschene

Can’t camp. Mosquitoes will eat me. Can’t grill. Mosquitoes will eat me. Is this a chant you know well? Give it up and reach for the fabric softener. If you tie a sheet through your belt loop mosquitoes won’t come near you. But that’s not all you do with your this handy little tool.

Lay it on the ground to chase away ants at a picnic.
Place them in cupboards to ward off mice.
Rub it on your TV or computer screen to get rid of static electricity.
Dissolve soap scum on shower doors.
Leave a sheet in your sneaker overnight to remove odors.
