Not that its a quick fix for those bugs that bite. But, three years ago we built a small garden pond in the back yard, mainly to benefit the songbirds we have here. Well, the birds could care less about it.

We put some goldfish in it after we found out that the birds had no interest. Its not big enough for Koi, its only 350 to 400 gallons.

Well, this year we have more dragonflies than ever, that grew from our small pond. And a bumper crop of frogs and toads.

In the last week, I've only been bug bit twice. We spend a lot of time on our back deck cookin, and relaxin.

Well, the evening in the country (sitting in an open field) watching fireworks went off in grand style, and the "spray Listerine on the ground around you" idea worked beautifully. Others sitting around me thought I was a bit off-center when they smelled that telltale scent of the mouthwash, until they saw I was not getting bit and they were! I shared the spray bottle with five other families around me, and all of us were skeeter free! They just couldn't believe that it really worked! Thanks for a wonderful piece of information!
