    Certain Bounce dryer sheets are a great mosquito repellent. I have a nice little fan of dryer sheets on my patio in the summer toward off pesky mosquitoes.

  • I used them on my hair, and it helps. Now I use scent beads. Put some in a spray bottle, add hot water, so they melt, even adding some softener and some rubbing alcohol. Shake it up and use that to freshen everything up. I spray my clothes, the inside of my shoes, my wallet, bedding.....the list goes on
