NOT A JOKE! We have crazy nasty mosquitoes in Phoenix right now. I made this yesterday using the mist sprayer from Harbor Freight, and sprayed my entire large patio, driveway, and front walk. I then got a bit cocky and went out last night on the patio shirtless, scared out of my mind, but nothing happened. I stayed on the patio near the house at the dining table, and thoroughly enjoyed myself mosquito-free. GAME CHANGER! Thanks Paul Harvey! "PAGE TWO..."

Ratios are good so you can make smaller or bigger: a) Mint mouthwash 16 ounces (455 grams) (1/2 Mason Jar) b) Epsom salts - 3 cups (cup is 8 ounces = 24 ounces (700 grams) c) Flat beers - 36 ounces of stale beer (= 1 liter/1000 grams) Place in sprayer RATIO (approx): a) 2 b) 3 c) 4 If I am correct

I saw this video and had everything already on hand. Used Miller High Life beer, Sam's Club Epsom salt(so cheap there... $9.98 for 14lbs) and Colgate mint mouthwash(same blue color as what he used).

Hey Paul. Thanks for sharing this recipe. I moved into my new property a home that I built. Little did I know that I have a pond beside me. Last summer, we couldn’t bear sitting on the lanai. This year. I waged a war on mosquitoes. In April 2024 I saw a video online where a gentleman was showing how he killed millions of mosquitoes. I basically bought four black pails. Then went online on Amazon and bought the mosquito dunks. I placed all four pails on the perimeter of the property. I then purchased mosquito barrier and I have sprayed three times. The mosquito dunks in the pales is basically killing the ecosystem of the mosquitoes. It’s like neutering, a dog and cat. We have had over a dozen barbeques in our backyard by the poolside. And all I hear is where are the mosquitoes. Something you may want to try. I am going to go and purchase your items tomorrow and I will get back to you on my report, as the mosquito barrier that I purchase is very expensive. But it does work.

I'm definitely going to try this. If I can keep my brothers from drinking the beers. They would say, " that's alcohol abuse". Well if it gets rid of the mosquito I will do it.

I guess I can't emphatically say one way or another, but if i lived in Liberia where I was born, and i had an apartment overlooking a jungle with lots of skeeters, I would spray the perimeter of my balcony. In my yard, I go out last our deck, but I would say it works from my experience. I reapplied my yard last night as i noticed the skeeters were coming through my perimeter so you can reapply as needed. Hope this helps a little bit.

Natural light cuz it's natural it's good for the environment

The beer has alcohol in it. The mouthwash has mint and alcohol in it. Mint repels a lot of bugs and alcohol will kill mosquitoes if sprayed on them.

I had popped the tabs on the (regular) beer and had it sitting in cans inside the jug I'd be mixing it in. It was about a week before I had the opportunity to get back to it, so I wonder if in that time the alcohol dissipated? Anyway, I had a very easy time mixing the Epsom salt into just the beer alone, then added in the mouthwash. Wanted to put that out there for anyone who had regular beer around in case they didn't want to make a special purchase of the nonalcoholic type. Did not get bit once as I sprayed my whole yard (small but a lots o' mosquito property) so I'm hopeful this is a success.

Do you have to make a new batch every time you have outdoor activities on your property,or can this batch last for future use?

does non- alcoholic beer work?

Hi, I am living in the tropics. Getting Epsom salt is not easy, so I ordered it from USA anyway for my garden and bodycare (really expensive because of the extra delivery). The mouthwash costs about 7 dollar here. A can of beer costs like 50 cents, so this is the only cheap one. I think, you can replace the mouthwash by a solution with peppermint essential oil or even selfmade mint in alcohol, because it is the mint that is important. What I really don´t get, is the meaning of the beer. Beer attracs bugs. If I leave an half empty bottle over night, I always find it full of flies and bugs in the morning. So I really try to find out if I could replace the beer with water and alcohol and replace the mouthwasch with a mint-alc solution (like I use for my body against moscitos.) Also inside use with that sticky mouthwasch and beer would not be recomendable. :D Has anyone tried to modificate this reciept?

Thanks for your question. I grew up in Liberia, West Africa on the equator and the humidity and bugs were horrible when you got away from the ocean and salt breeze. The epson salt is probably very important. I personally did not originate this recipe, Paul Harvey did to my best knowledge unless someone here can find otherwise. I've used ovee a decade and it works great for me. Never modified it. I live in rural Tennessee and the humidity is bad here but the bugs are worse, as i often have told my wife. Maybe some of our viewers followers habe modified? Good luck and sorry about the cost, our world has gone mad everything is expensive now!!

Thanks for this great video. Is this spray suitable for indoor? I wonder if the beer will make funny smell and stain on furniture, etc..

Thanks Lillian. This is only for outdoors and the spray " builds" an invisible wall that protects you on the inside

Thank you very much for the recipe. If l doesn't use all the liquid at once, how long can l keep it? How long will it keep the mosquitoes away?

@@gertrudbrigitta I make this 1 batch every spring and it lasts the summer. I apply 2x a season, generally. About 6 to 8 weeks apart. The liquid does not weather the winter months as well so I try to use it up every year, tho if i have some left in the spring,I always use it anyway. Hope that makes sense!

I could not find cheap beer in local Walmart. Can I use ginger beer (0% alcohol) instead?

I have never tried it but I would say I wouldn't do that, only because specifically making the beer "stale" is a part if the process, and that usually refers yo alcoholic drinks. Just my thoughts. Good question though. I would spend a little more money on the beer.

Warm the mouth wash up a little. Just warm as to not damage the mouth wash properties and the Epson salt will dissolve better and faster.

Do not warm bears up. It makes them angry and they attack. If you mistakenly do this, give them the beer you would have used for the recipe (to calm them) and go get yourself another supply. @@TheUniverseWorksForUsBeings

I'm going to try this. So for three cups of epsons salts, and 16oz of mint mouthwash, you added 36oz of flat beer? is this correct??? So If I wanted to double it I could do 64oz of flat beer, six cups of espons salts, and 32oz of mint-correct? Thank you so much for helping us out. I pray that this works.

Yes Brad you got the recipe righ. , The hardest part is dissolving the Epsom salt. Use a wire wisk. I would start with a single recipe 1st. It goes a long way and if you end up not using the double batch this summer, it loses its efficacy next year after sitting around. It gets kind of sticky and hard to apply.
