@@louCella-qh5fj , sorry to hear that... As you can see by the comments, it usually does. I once had someone say that and found out they didn't so something in the ingredients. They re did it and it worked great! Did you open the beer and let it sit out and get stale? I usually do that for a day. Was it alcoholic beer? Was the mouthwash mint? This recipe has been used probably by millions around the world. It originated with Paul Harvey I believe. Sorry it didn't work for you.

@@RibbitMaster64 sorry to hear that, did the Epson salt dissolve? I use a wisk and dissolve it in the beer before i add the mint. I've recently been doing that and it seems to mix better. I also find applying around 9 or 10 am when the mosquitoes aren't very active is best. You don't want to apply at dusk or when they are already on the move. Sorry to hear it didn't work for you!

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.
