mosquito repellant. Dryer sheet as a mosquito repellant

Submitted by debbie

To keep mosquitos away take any brand of dryer sheet. Rub the sheet over any exposed skin. When you are done stick the sheet in your pocket. This method has been tested against store bought repellants and works WAY better. And is alot safer for you children. And besides you'll smell springtime fresh all day.

Love this repellant Comments By: LAR What a great idea. I always hated to smell like insect spray.   its great but....... Comments By: Anon can't beat bug repellant because it all or most bugs off you than dryer sheets   Not so great Comments By: anon It might smell good but it works for about 9 minutes max. Don't count on it to prevent bites or repel bugs.   unscented Comments By: Sue Do unscented dryer sheets work? TipKing says: Great question! I do not know though!   it does work Comments By: GAR my mom told me about this and I laughed then tried it, well actually our entire party tried it one night and we were amazed that it worked, we even placed a few in the garage where we were   truly works Comments By: Jessica My boyfriend's mom told me about this method , and it has been tried and true for over 5 months. If i'm sitting around outside, I just scatter them around me or drape them off a chair. Also tuck one into the back of your shirt. I swear they stay away. Also, I'm assuming it is the scented ones.
