Tip of the Month
|
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.
We’d love to hear your
tips! Send in your favorite tricks in the garden to share
and we will choose one to feature each month. So what’s in
it for you? We’ll send you a
www.GardenStops.com t-shirt!
