Factoid of the day: Bug wars

TiaMaria sent me an email claiming listerine would stop mosquitoes.
Well, yes and no... according to Snopes:

spraying Listerine around your home or outdoor areas isn't an all-purpose mosquito preventive. It may kill some mosquitoes on which it is directly sprayed, but it won't serve to keep knocking mosquitoes dead for hours and hours afterwards.

on the other hand, if you want to get rid of the slugs in your garden the good news is that you can use cheap Budwiser, which works better than the expensive imported beers...

no report if Filipino slugs like Bud better than SanMig
