Miraculous Mosquitoes Repellent

Received an email from a friend regarding an effective and cheap way to repell mosquitoes! I am sure most if not all of you would love to try this out. This friend swears by it. Commercial mosquitoes repellent are health risks, like coils, vape-mat etc. This one, I think it is safe, just look at the materials used.

  • Lemon Flavoured Dish Wash Liquid.
  • A white dish.
  • Water.

Squeeze a few drops of Lemon Dish Wash into a white dish and add water to reasonable level. Place this on your verendah, patio or somewhere near where you sit in the garden, say few feet away. Accordingly, the mosquitoes would flock to the dish for a drink and later they will just dropped dead! Sound fantastic. Try it out and let me know the results! As for why? Heck! I don't understand and neither do I know! As long as it works let the scientist research on this. :) Remember that it must be Lemon Flavored Dish Wash Liquid and White Dish not others!

Hey if this works buy me a coffee?

    sounds like a good solution :)

    i’ve got one – vinegar and water mix to keep mold away, for removing stains, removing odor. i keep a spritz bottle of it for everyday use. much better than all the chemicals in cleaning stuff!

    Mozzies dont like to be near lemon juice. I,ve tried this often and it works.
    For Flies, Rose water, Sprinkle rose water on the table if eating outside, no flies for a while.

    The problem is that I use bug spray when camping, so I can’t be carrying a dish around.

    I will try it instead of a citronella candle on the table.

    i received the same email too and did blog about it. tried it too but it did not work. you must use the glo or harimau kuat. i think they have stronger lemon smell. the mozzie will be attracted to the smell and drink the water and KO. :D I still have not try using the harimau kuat though. :D
