I’m an internet mom – you can grate a household product you already have in your home to protect from mosquitos

"I'll give you a hint - it's not cheese. It's soap."

She said that mosquitoes "love her" so she needed to prepare before having dinner outside around the fire.

"This is something I've been doing for years," Babs said.

She said she takes a bar of soap, Irish Spring in her case, and grates a barrier around where she and her guests will be sitting.

Babs fans were raving over the post with nearly 200,000 likes, but other commenters were pretty apprehensive.

"Really?! This works? very cool," one person commented.

Another person said, "Oh thanks for this, I'm allergic to mosquitoes and they love me."

"It can't just be soap, it has to be Irish Spring!!! This works though and on mice too!" a user commented.

Other people claimed they tried Bab's hack, but it didn't work out so well.

"Does not work..." one person said.

Another person commented: "It didn't work so well. I DO wash with Irish Spring soap on the day/night I'm going to be outside, that works fantastic."

"Also works for keeping away dirty people who don't want to shower," someone else said.
