I got an email recently about Bounce sheets and all the stuff they can be used for.... here it is...some good ideas actually!!! And YES it does work on mosquitoes!! WHEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
The mouse idea really works too, we do that in our classrooms and at my parents cabin - keeps them away!!
Bounce Dryer Sheets -
US Postal service sent out a message
to all letter carriers to put a sheet of Bounce in their uniform pockets
to keep yellow jackets away.
Use them all the time when playing baseball and soccer.
I use it when I am working outside. It really works.
The yellow jackets just veer around you.
And all this time you've just been putting Bounce in the dryer!
It will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them.
It also repels mice.. spread them around foundation areas, or in
trailers, cars that are sitting and it keeps mice from entering your
vehicle.
It takes the odor out of books and photo albums that don't get opened
too often.
Repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce thru ugh a belt loop when
outdoors during mosquito season.
Eliminates static electricity from your television (or computer) screen.
Since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your
television screen with a used sheet of Bounce to keep dust from
resettling.
Dissolve soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a sheet of Bounce.
Freshen the air in your home. Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a
drawer or hang in the closet.
Put Bounce sheet in vacuum cleaner.
Prevent thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle through sheet of
Bounce before beginning to sew.
Prevent musty suitcases. Place an individual sheet of Bounce inside
empty luggage before storing.
Freshen the air in your car. Place a sheet of Bounce under the front
seat.
Clean baked-on foods from a cooking pan. Put a sheet in a pan, fill with
water, let sit o overnight, and sponge clean. The anti-static agent
apparently weakens the bond
Between the food.
Eliminate odors in wastebaskets. Place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom
of the
wastebasket.
Collect cat hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will
magnetically attract all the loose hairs.
Eliminate static electricity from Venetian blinds. Wipe the blinds with
a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling.
Wipe up sawdust from drilling or sand papering. A used sheet of Bounce
will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.
Eliminate odors in dirty laundry. Place an individual sheet of Bounce at
the bottom of a laundry bag or hamper.
Deodorize shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet of Bounce in your shoes or
sneakers overnight.
Golfers put a Bounce sheet in their back pocket to keep the bees away.
Put a Bounce sheet in your sleeping bag and tent before folding and
storing them. Keeps them smelling fresh.
I would imagine any dryer sheet would work. Some are cheaper then the
brand name.
