Mosquito Control

Everyone hates having to abandon your yard at dusk being driven out by pesky mosquitoes. What is worse is the hefty price to have a yard pest company spray every month. Here is a homemade mosquito spray that controls mosquitoes in your yard for an entire month! Using household items, it is a fraction of the price of those yard pest companies plus it has no harsh chemicals as well as being safe for kids and pets.

2 cups Epson salt

2 16 oz bottles of stale beer (flat and room temperature)

2 cups of blue mouthwash

Spray bottle

Measuring cup

Pitcher

Spoon

Open 2 bottles of beer and leave out at room temperature for 24 hours. Once 24 hours have past, add beers to the pitcher.

Measure out 2 cups of Epson salt.

Slowly add 2 cups of Epson salt to pitcher that contains the beer.

Using the spoon, stir beer and Epson salt mixture until the salt is completely dissolved.

Measure out 2 cups of blue mouthwash.

Note: I have used both generic and name brand mouthwash in this recipe and both work equally as well.

Slowly add the mouthwash to the pitcher containing the beer and Epson salt mixture. Stir for 20 seconds to ensure mouthwash is fully incorporated.

Pour the mixture into a spray bottle and it is ready to battle those pesky mosquitoes.

Generously spray throughout your yard, in your grass and landscaping. Spray around your deck, patio and yard furniture as well. Mosquitoes will stay away for approximately a month allowing your to enjoy the summer nights.
