Probably Ineffective; Read what Snopes.com has to say about home remedies to
repel mosquitoes.  http://www.snopes.com/oldwives/skeeters.asp

Just thought I'd pass along a little info I learned today.  Bounce dryer
sheets have been shown to be effective against yellow jackets, ants,
rodents, and mosquitoes.  Supposedly if you put a dryer sheet in your belt
loop it will repel the mosquitoes.  I used deet, but its effectiveness was
very short lived, about 2 hours.  I ended up with a mild rash because I had
to use deet so often.  Happy hiking!
