Anyone ever hung Bounce dryer sheets in your cabin for mosquitos? The guys I'm going with to a fly-in claim that it works but I'm still going to take a mosquito coil with me. I think one of the guy's wife read it in some stupid womens magazine.

Never heard about it for mosquitoes, but they work for keeping mice out of your boat. When you store your boat for winter, just put Bounce sheets around the inside of the boat and down in your bilge area. People swear by them for mice.
I've heard that they work well, but don't have any personal experience with them. I am going to try it out.

I heard they help keep stupid people out of your boat too. Im buying some because they dont come any dumber than the guys I fish with.

We have used them for years when storing farm equipment away for the winter. One sheet in each piece of equipment works well and have not had any mouse problems since. Plus the cabs smell a lot better come spring.
Don't know why but it sure seems to work. I think mosquitos could be a stretch though.

I have a friend that swears by Bounce when he's out golfing. He rubs his arms and legs with them and never gets a bite. They do appear to work!!
