Something about reducing sugar changes your insulin & makes you smell differently.<br />Prior to this I was a mozzie buffet EVERY NIGHT!!

AVON did not do it on purpose but it worked. I do not remember the name but I do know that we purchased some and it worked. No wonder, haha. It would repel anything ....it DID work on mosquitos in the evening though. debrahttp://www.thehomespun.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10633837.post-67719066120566705922012-09-06T18:56:55.156-04:002012-09-06T18:56:55.156-04:00I tried a home made potion to get rid of Yellow ja...I tried a home made potion to get rid of Yellow jackets in my back yard and I had the same results!

I've heard about the dryer sheets and the Avon spray, etc., but here in Houston I don't think anything deters them.<br />My grandma used to put plastic bags over her shoes and ankles and then secure with a rubber band while she gardened.

Also mosquitoes are attracted to the color blue (I read that somewhere), so when outside avoid wearing jeans or blue colors. I read that whites or light colors are best.
