I think you can buy it at places that sell pools. Like real pools. isn't that what they put in pool filters? I think Borax works too, I keep meaning to look it up for you, but i got distracted watching glee.   |

Some local health food stores have it too AND I actually saw it at Lowes the other day. Not sure if the Lowe's kind is as good, though. -------------------- ~*Karen*~

planting marigolds around your yard as a way to keep mosquitoes away is an interesting idea... I wonder if it would actually work? I might have to convince my mother to let me plant marigolds everywhere this year. I actually just heard that planting marigolds around your garden can keep the bugs and bunnies out of there too. -------------------- Sara ~ Wife to Scott, Mommy to Andrew 6-12-05, Alison 2-20-07, and our angel in heaven 4-20-06

Last year in our community garden the bunnies ate the marigolds. |

Lol! Maybe it doesn't work on your hardy South Dakota Bunnies. But then it probably wouldn't work on our Minnesota Bunnies either... the lady I heard about it from lives somewhere in the east I think. -------------------- Sara ~ Wife to Scott, Mommy to Andrew 6-12-05, Alison 2-20-07, and our angel in heaven 4-20-06

Wait... you mean the skunks LIKE marigolds, as in if I plant them, skunks will come to my yard? I'm definitely re-thinking the marigold idea. -------------------- Sara ~ Wife to Scott, Mommy to Andrew 6-12-05, Alison 2-20-07, and our angel in heaven 4-20-06

Try vinegar. I recall that is supposed to repel them and they probably have that in Russia!

BTW, we use marigolds around tomato plants around here - they keep tomato worms away.
