Mr. Lee...zard

Another mosquito deterrent is the common household lizard. So before you consider smacking the little fellow, think about how vital a role he plays. Just last night, Chuck and I saw about a two-inch lizard climbing its way along the wall that borders the stairs. As long as I don't step on one in the middle of the night, he's fine. He can stay.

Fighting Mosquitoes

Fighting malaria-carrying mosquitoes in India is quite interesting!

In my novel, Restored Hearts, Constance jokes that in India when a mosquito bites a person it flies away singing, "There's power in the blood!"

Here my husband uses a special electrically-charged wand to zap the mosquitoes.

This helpful plug-in deters mosquitoes during the night. Works great!

We like natural alternatives, so my husband and I take Garlitrin 4000 and Vitamin B1to repel mosquitoes.
