I thought this tip might be useful to others while camping.

Mosquitoes



Pass this on to anyone who likes sitting out in the evening or when they're
having a cook out.

So you don't like those pesky mosquitoes, especially now that they have the
potential to carry the West Nile Virus?

Here's a tip that was given at a recent gardening forum. Put some water in a
white dinner plate and add a couple drops of Lemon Fresh Joy dish detergent.
Set the dish on your porch, patio, or other outdoor area.

Not sure what attracts them, the lemon smell, the white plate color, or
what, but mosquitoes flock to it, and drop dead shortly after drinking the
Lemon Fresh Joy/water mixture, and usually within about 10 feet of the
plate. Check this out--it works just super! May seem trivial, but it may
help control mosquitoes around your home, especially in the South and
elsewhere where the West Nile virus is reaching epidemic proportions in
mosquitoes, birds, and humans.
