My roommate mixes water bleach and irish spring bar soap
into a pressure sprayer and uses it everywhere around my pool. Also on plants saying it kills and repels mosquitoes. Says it reminds him of his high school pool house. What do you think? You think he's serious or nuts?

Does it work? I think you should find out before passing judgment.

Bleach alone will make the water an unfavorable place for mosquitos to raise their young. Any standing water should be emptied or treated. I don't think putting soap around a pool is a good idea if children or mentally impaired people are going to be running around. The soap and splashing water will make it slippery. But soap and water are often used to repel bugs from plants so I think he's serious. You may want to google what bleach does to plants, I've never tried that!
