Pass this on to anyone who likes sitting out in the evening or when they're having a cook out. 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.

Great if it works, but It sounds an awful lot like that miracle flea treatment. Just put the plate on yer carpet. Dont know what attracts em, but it works. I dont have the foggyest idea if this works. I just typin what I remember from the email. i dont have fleas, I have Ticks! Meybe if I put a plate down in the yard, the ticks will come a runnin.  |

I wonder if I take a plate put a little water on it,a little lemon joy and leave it,if it would attract someone to finish washing my dishes?sounds like they would have it half done fer em'. lol!
BTW I would stand by with a flyswatter and swat the skeeters while they washed.
