It will chase ants away when you lay a sheet near them.
 
It also repels mice.
 
It take the odor out of books and photo albums that don't get used often.
 
Repels mosquitoes.  Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when outdoors during mosquito season.
 
Dissolve soap scum from shower doors. 
 
Prevent thread from tangling ... Run a threaded needle through a sheet of Bounce before beginning to sew.
 
Clean baked-on foods from a cooking pan ... Put a sheet in a pan, fill with water and let sit overnight.  Although I have found that putting water in pan and heating it back up will do the same thing without letting it sit overnight.

Posted by Pam..a few more added tips with Bounce:
The US Postal service sent out a message to all letter carriers to put  a

    Sheet of Bounce in their uniform pockets to keep yellow-jackets away.
   
    Use them all the time when playing Baseball and soccer. I use it when 
I am working outside.  It  really works.  The yellow jackets  just veer Around  you.
   
   1. All this time you've just been putting Bounce in the dryer! It  will chase

    Ants away when you lay a sheet near them.  It also repels mice.
   
   2. Spread sheets around foundation areas, or in trailers, or cars that are
Sitting and it keeps mice from entering your vehicle.
   
   3. It takes the odor out of books and photo albums that don't get opened 
Too often.
   
   4. It repels mosquitoes. Tie a sheet of Bounce through a belt loop when 
Outdoors during mosquito season.
   
   5. Eliminate static electricity from your television (or computer) screen.
   
   6. Since Bounce is designed to help eliminate static cling, wipe your tele-
Vision screen with a used sheet of Bounce to keep  dust from resettling.
   
   7. Dissolve soap scum from shower doors. Clean with a sheet of Bounce.
   
   8. To freshen the air in your home - Place an individual sheet of Bounce in
a drawer or hang in the closet.
   
   9. Put Bounce sheet in vacuum  cleaner.
   
  10. Prevent thread from tangling. Run a threaded needle through a sheet of 
Bounce before beginning to sew.


  11. Prevent musty suitcases. Place an individual  sheet of Bounce inside 
Empty luggage before storing.
   
  12. To freshen the air in your car - Place a sheet of Bounce under the front seat.
   
  13. Clean baked-on foods from a cooking pan.  Put a sheet in a pan, fill with

  Water, let sit overnight, and sponge clean.  The anti-static agent apparently Weakens the bond between the food and the pan.
   
  14. Eliminate odors in wastebaskets. Place a sheet of Bounce at the bottom 
Of the wastebasket.
   
  15. Collect cat hair. Rubbing the area with a sheet of Bounce will 
Magnetically attract all the loose hairs.
   

  16. Eliminate static electricity from Venetian blinds. Wipe the blinds with a Sheet of Bounce to prevent dust from resettling.
  
 17. Wipe up sawdust from drilling or sand papering. A used sheet of Bounce 
Will collect sawdust like a tack cloth.
   
  18. Eliminate odors in dirty laundry. Place a individual sheet of Bounce at the 
Bottom of a laundry bag or hamper.
   
  19. Deodorize shoes or sneakers. Place a sheet of Bounce in your shoes or 
 Sneakers overnight
   
  20. Golfers put a Bounce sheet in their back pocket to keep the bees away.
   
  21. Put a Bounce sheet in your sleeping bag and tent before folding and 
Storing them. It will keep them smelling fresh.

And my own tip: Attach a bounce dryer sheet to  all filters for your Central heating/cooling vents to keep your home smelling fresh..it all so attracts the dust in the vents and prevents it from blowing thru the house..great when switching from cooling to heating.
