    Default Repel mosquitoes using a fabric softener sheet!

    Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season.

    When I was living in humid South Texas, where the mosquitos are big enough to carry you away....I would do this and it really works! Since mosquitos love me, I would typically put my bounce sheet tucked in my shoe, and another one tucked in my jeans. Great tip!

    That is a great tip. Plus I love the smell of bounce.

    When my kids were babies I'd rub fabric softener sheets on their skin instead of bug spray & it seemed to work.

    my old neighbors used to put cut up pieces of jeans in a metal coffee can and let that burn when we were just sitting on the front porch talking.
