All the boaters I know leave some sheets on board the boat to keep the wasps from moving in. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/9569#post-240812 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 09:24:00 +0000 sloopy1975 240812@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Some of those I had heard before and some of them are new, so thanks for the info :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/9569#post-240789 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 09:00:13 +0000 KarenCentennial 240789@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>kapitikats - if you have some bay leaves in your cabinets just put one where the ants are and they will leave - when we moved into our house we had ants thruout and put a bay leaf in each room - it really does work. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/9569#post-240783 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 08:50:12 +0000 krazikat 240783@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I am going to print this list and tape it inside the hall closet door. I use bounce sheets for all kinds of things but for cleaning the blinds, what a timesaver! Lots of other great ideas too, I always pack a sheet in with summer/winter clothes when I'm putting them away. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/9569#post-240606 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 03:37:00 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 240606@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I wonder if they would work on the Asian Paper wasp, we're barely into spring and these darned wasps are already here. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/9569#post-240600 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 01:57:46 +0000 KapitiKats in NZ 240600@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I need some - my pantry got invaded by ants the other day :( </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/9569#post-240599 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 01:50:05 +0000 AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew 240599@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Cool tips, but I can tell you that it didn't work for me with the mosquitoes outside....they still attacked me in mass! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/9569#post-240592 Mon, 15 Sep 2008 00:08:12 +0000 Buttercup 240592@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Wow,it repels yellow jackets? That's great because I'm allergic to them and therefore terrified of them. Good to know. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/9569#post-240583 Sun, 14 Sep 2008 22:14:22 +0000 Moonshadow_NZ 240583@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Wonder if you can use them to plug the bath. See Urgent help needed-don't laugh thread. Please feel free to giggle. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/9569#post-240570 Sun, 14 Sep 2008 21:48:02 +0000 CheetahBoysmommy 240570@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>We put a sheet into our driving helmets before we put them away. It eliminates the nasty sweat odors from the fabric helmet lining. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/9569#post-240561 Sun, 14 Sep 2008 21:25:48 +0000 artistabobbi TX 1/17 240561@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thanks for the great tip petpn<br /> I knew it repelled misquitoes, but not the rest. WOW! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/9569#post-240558 Sun, 14 Sep 2008 21:13:50 +0000 petpntr 240558@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>These are really a neat ideas. Please pay particular attention to #15. </p> <p>The US Postal service sent out a message to all letter carriers to put a sheet of Bounce in their uniform pockets to keep yellow-jackets away. </p> <p>Use them all the time when playing baseball and soccer. I use it when I am working outside. It really works The yellow jackets just veer around you. </p> <p>1. All this time you've just been putting Bounce in the dryer! It will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them. It also repels mice.</p> <p>2. Put Bounce around foundation areas, or in trailers, or cars that are parked for a time. Will keep mice from getting in.</p> <p>3. It takes the odor out of books and photo albums that don't get opened too often.</p> <p>4. It repels mosquitoes! Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season.</p> <p>5. Eliminate static electricity from your television (or computer) screen.</p> <p>6. Since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your television screen with a used sheet of Bounce to keep dust from resettling.</p> <p>7. Dissolve soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a sheet of Bounce.</p> <p>8. To freshen the air in your home - Place an individual sheet of Bounce in a drawer or hang in the closet.</p> <p>9. Put Bounce sheet in vacuum cleaner.</p> <p>10. Prevent thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle through a sheet of Bounce before beginning to sew.</p> <p>11. Prevent musty suitcases. Place an individual sheet of bounce inside empty luggage before storing.</p> <p>12. To freshen the air in your car - Place a sheet of Bounce under the front seat.</p> <p>13. Clean baked-on foods from a cooking pan. Put a sheet in a pan, fill with water, let sit overnight, and sponge clean. The anti-static agent apparently weakens the bond between the food and the pan.</p> <p>14. Eliminate odors in wastebaskets. Place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom of the wastebasket.</p> <p>15. Collect cat hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will<br /> magnetically attract all the loose hairs.</p> <p>16. Eliminate static electricity from Venetian blinds. Wipe the blinds with a sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling.</p> <p>17. Wipe up sawdust from drilling or sand papering. A used sheet of Bounce will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.</p> <p>18. Eliminate odors in dirty laundry. Place an individual sheet of Bounce at the bottom of a laundry bag or hamper. </p> <p>19. Deodorize shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet of Bounce in your shoes or sneakers overnight.</p> <p>20. Golfers put a Bounce sheet! In their back pocket to keep the bees away.</p> <p>21. Put a Bounce sheet in your sleeping bag and tent before folding and storing them. It will keep them smelling fresh.</p> <p>22. Quick, BOUNCE this along within the next 5 minutes! Nothing will happen if you don't, but your friends will be glad to hear these hints! </p>
