Re: Fabric Softener Sheets Repel Gnats

I had someone tell me they will keep rodents out of your engine compartment. The little brats used them for nesting material. I guess they wanted to repel gnats too.

The host at one of the campgrounds at Courtright told me he'd had marmots chewing on his engine parts while there and that dryer sheets kept them out of his engine block.

I used a cheap brand and the rodent used it as nesting material. The study was done with "Bounce" so maybe I'll try that. Or the varmits in my area like the smell of that stuff.

Another case of animals being smarter than humans.
They know better than to willingly breathe the foul perfumes emanating from those sheets.
