Useful household advice.
Put some water in a white dinner plate and add just a couple of
drops of Lemon Fresh Joy dishwashing liquid. Put it on your
patio. I don't know what attracts them, the lemon smell, the
white color, or what, but mosquitos flock to it, and drop dead
and fall into the water, or on the floor within about 10 ft.
Works just super. Enjoy the mosquito free summer!
