I thought that was what the back seat was for.

But let's not get so cynical so fast, Jeff. We know mosquitoes are
attracted to water, right? And we know they are attracted to white;
that's why we're told to wear dark clothes. And soaps are scented. Might
there be something in the scent that additionally attracts them? And soap
does reduce surface tension, so if a mosquito lands, she probably stays
there.

I'd give it a try before rejecting it outright. Yeah, I'm gonna do that.
I'm going to ask my wife where she keeps the dishwashing detergent-.
