Natural Mosquito Repellent

Last month, I hacked my backpack blower into a Mosquito Bazooka to wage war on New Jersey's “unofficial state bird”. In this follow-up episode, I use my mosquito bazooka to apply a natural mosquito repellent that I found on Pinterest made from beer, mouthwash and epsom salt.

    Did it work? If so, how long did it last? Did it cause any damage to your lawn, plants or shrubs?

      It’s a hard thing to say because it wasn’t a very scientific experiment. It smelled pleasant and didn’t kill anything, but my wife got a mosquito bite the following day. Would she have gotten more if I didn’t spray? I can’t say for sure, but my gut feeling is yes. I know I missed some bushes and certainly didn’t spray the whole lawn.

        once

      next year so I can pick his brain and see what chemical he uses.

      Stay tuned!
