TikToker Mosquito Repellant Hack: Bubble Machines!

Do bubbles keep the mosquitoes away?

TikToker @sarahforwarkholden has shared a simple way to repel mosquitoes, using a bubble machine. (Of course, placement is everything. You don't want soap all over you or the food on your grill!)

The theory is that mosquitoes are naturally repelled by the soap bubbles, but according to Snopes, that theory is unproven. And most likely started by a soap company.

Still, it's more fun than citronella torches and candles (and there's science that says those aren't that good at repelling mosquitoes either).
