Spring bugs be gone! May 6, 2007

Want an easy way to protect your kids – and yourself and your kids – from those pesky spring bees and flies and mosquitoes? Without those nasty sprays? Or the lotions your kids hate? Use a dryer sheet! I don’t know what it is exactly, but there’s something in those dryer sheets that makes pests stay away (well, maybe not all pests – they won’t do anything about the playground bully). Put one in your kids pocket – just keep a corner of it hanging out for best effect.

You can also slip one into the dog’s collar, under your horse’s bridle… or tie one to the umbrella of your picnic table.
