Just had this hint passed along to me from another gardeners'
forum...kill those pesky and dangerous mosquitos: fill a white plate
or bowl with water and add several drops of Lemon Fresh Joy dishwashing
detergent, and set outside. Not sure why or how it works, but
mosquitoes are attracted to the mixture, drink and fall dead, usually
within a few feet of the bowl...especially good for those of us in the
South who would like to spend a few minutes outdoors without spraying
ourselves with chemicals. Set plates or bowls of mixture around patio,
and watch the results!

Would be great if it works with flies also.
