Post Useful Home Remedy That Works Well

To repel ticks, fleas, mosquitoes, horse flies, black flies, bot flies and many other creepy crawlies. Keep a bottle of the 'Original Listerine' in the house in case you should run out of what ever you would normally use.
I used it on my dogs and horses and most times it worked better than any of the other repellents, and it also was an excellent horse liniment as well. A well respected old horse Doctor taught me about this home remedy back in the early sixties and it works great.

Application: After bathing and drying, Apply Listerine on a hand towel, and rub it into their coats, under belly and legs. Be careful around the eyes.
