Using a bottle of hydrogen peroxide, which costs $1.97, he sprayed it on the designated spot.
“This will keep them from reproducing, keep them out of your home, keep them away from your pets and keep them out of areas you don’t want them in,” he said in his video.
‘It does not damage the grass and it is also safe around your pets.’
Griffith received no negative comments on his March 21 video, and according to Mosquito JoeHydrogen peroxide can help keep mosquitoes at bay and kill any eggs the pests have laid.

Griffith showed another tip on how to get rid of fleas, ticks and mosquitoes with a bottle of hydrogen peroxide in a TikTok video he posted on March 21.
According to Griffith, all you need to get rid of those pesky bugs is hot honey and baking soda, which you can buy at Walmart or on Amazon.
The TikToker placed an ounce of honey and a teaspoon of baking soda in a small bowl on a wooden surface.
He mixed the two ingredients together and placed the bowl in another spot outside. “I guarantee it will get rid of all the flies,” Griffith said.
Several TikTokers commented on the coffee trick, with one person writing that it “smells amazing” while camping.

Several TikTok users who commented on Griffith’s coffee advice asked him another question about the trick, and one person said the roasted coffee “smells amazing.”
Other commenters have asked about the hot honey and baking soda trick and about the hot honey ingredient, but one user wrote that it’s “way too expensive to use it for that purpose.”
Griffith, who almost never responds to comments, responded to a post written by a TikToker on April 10.
‘The hot honey also catches bees? Because I don’t want to mess with the bees, but there are way too many wasps around,” the commenter asked.
Griffith wrote that the ingredient does not kill the bees and that he purposely uses hot honey so that the insects are not harmed.
