Homemade Mosquito Repellent – Useless
Q: Why don’t you tell folks about the mosquito-repelling recipe using beer, mouthwash and Epsom salts?
A: I don’t recommend the recipe because it doesn’t work. Mosquito repellents work by blocking the insect’s “smell” sensors. The materials you list are useless as repellents.
