Who knew that something that gives you fresh breath can also keep away pesky mosquitoes? Instead of an insect repellant that could contain the toxic chemical DEET, try using mouthwash instead. Pour a little mouthwash into a spray bottle, and mist away when you're outdoors. Spraying mouthwash on your skin and anywhere else you suspect mosquitoes may lurk will keep them away -- the alcohol content dries out the mosquitoes, and the eucalyptus oil inside mouthwash is a natural deterrent.
