Guest JarBear Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 I've used original Listerine and Dawn dish soap in the hose sprayer to clean and freshen the yard. Don't know if it will kill bacteria since I don't use a really strong mix but an added bonus is that the bugs don't seem to like it. Please don't ask me how much since I'm not a measurer, I just dump some in and start spraying. I used your idea Sunday. I used a Miracle Gro bottle with the hose attachment and sprayed the whole lawn and then concentrated on areas where there was diarrhea. I filled the bottle 3/4 full with listerine (the brown kind) and 3 squirts of Dawn. So far, the grass is still alive and ohhhhh does the back yard smell fresh and clean! Thank you! I'm glad it's working for you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brandimom Posted August 18, 2009 Share Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) Here is a tonic that I got out of Jerry Baker's book. 2 c. antiseptic mouthwash, 1 c. liquid dish soap, 4 tbsp. instant tea (dissolve first). Fill you sprayer, attach to hose and away you go. Edited August 18, 2009 by brandimom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
