Here’s a tip to kill mosquitoes that I picked up from the newspaper yesterday. I’m wondering if you guys have tried it. Pour some lemon-flavoured dish washing liquid into a plate. Mix it with a bit of water. Place it in a mosquito infested area. Apparently, mosquito’s flock to the mixture, drink it and drops dead. Does it really work? Is it effective? Sounds too easy to inspire confidence though.

Despite all our efforts to rid our house of mosquitos, all are in vain. It takes the whole neighbourhood to put in enough effort to make sure our backwards and drains are larvae free. But I guess that’s not happening.
