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.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 How about we set the dish away from the house and make them go over to the dish far away??? Why is it always suggested to put these things that attract then kill near your house? You should put things that repel near your house and things that attract and kill away from your house. - snipped 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.

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2004 Report Share Posted June 23, 2004 I can't help but wonder if this kills nothing but male mosquitos...males live on flower nectar and such, and therefore might be attracted by the lemony odor...it's the females that must drink blood for their eggs to develop.
