Here’s a Simple Hack to keep Pests away from your Porch or Patio

Spring is coming, and along with the sun comes the inevitable pests.  Well you don’t have to have your outdoor time ruined by pesky flies buzzing around you and your guests, and it doesn’t have to cost you an expensive visit from an exterminator, either.  This little-known bug hack could save you a lot of hassle, as well as hundreds of dollars every year.

Irish Spring is known for its classic “invigorating” scent, and there are plenty of success stories on the internet and social media from people using it to banish flies and even rodents around their home. You can get a mesh or nylon bag, place the bar of soap inside and hang it on your patio or porch. Most pests, including larger animals like rabbits and deer, hate the smell of strong soap, so this trick should keep your social gatherings and garden pest-free all summer.

Many people claim that it must be the original green bar. It’s worth a try to see if it works for you!
