If you enjoy being outside during the warm summer evenings, then you have more than likely had your run in's with Mosquito's. Those pesky insects that buzz around your ears and love to bite you anywhere they think they can land, sometimes in embarrassing places and leave a bump that itches like all get out.

You've tried all the lotions,creams,sprays, even foggers, but have you tried plain old Listerine mouthwash? Listerine works like a charm, just spray the area you'll be in the next time you have a cook-out or a backyard party. Unlike other repellents that only last a few hours Listerine can work as long as two days. Besides working better and lasting longer than store bought repellent, it's a whole lot cheaper and safer too. Listerine contains alcohol, so don't spray anything you wouldn't want to get alcohol on.

Mosquito's are no laughing matter and are the chief spreaders of west Nile virus which affects more and more people every year. A good but silly idea would be if you use it as mouth wash, go outside and do your gargling, then spit it out in an area thats known to you to have mosquito's. Lord knows what the neighbors will think, but hey you'll not only have fresher breath but you'll be creating a safer living environment.
