Smoothie Land

Today I am going to tell you about a cheap treatment for repelling mosquitoes and those aggravating biting flies. It is also a good repellent for moles. I use mothballs to control the mosquitoes and flies. Before I put it out, the “skeeters” (as I call ‘em) will eat you alive and then the flies will tote what is left away, lol. You cannot even set down a drink without them getting into it. Put out some mothballs (and then water the area) and see what the difference is the next day. I can actually sit outside without bug spray on and do not have to cover up my drink.  Be sure to buy several boxes (especially if they are on sale) because it is hard to tell how much it will take. Two boxes should cover a small backyard. Just be sure you do not handle the mothballs with your hands, open the box and start spreading them by shaking them out.  You will have the odor of mothballs in your yard, but I can handle that as opposed to getting eatin’ alive!
