Hi all,

Its that time of year where mozzies and bbq's don't mix...

I've searched the archives of this (and other) newsgroups and there
seems
to
be a fair number of differing opinions about the various methods of
repelling/killing mosquitos...

SNIP

Pretty much all the comments you have made about certain repellers is the
same thing I have heard, but I go for citronella candles.
It's bad here on the mid-north coast. Ocean one side, lake the other, and
many areas of bush with water (now after the rain) laying in it.

And/or any other suggestions...

There is a newish type of bug killer that was apparently invented
somewhere
around here locally. I am no way affiliated by the way.
Anyway the way it works is you have the typical blue coloured light (maybe
even fluorescent?) that bugs are attracted to. Below it, there is a tray
which you put water in, and i think detergent.
This machine creates a breeze by way of propeller or similar.
The whole idea, is the bug is attracted to the light, get caught in the
breeze, and blown downward into the water. The detergent making them sink.
A guy at work was talking about them a while back, that's all I know, so
sorry I am not to clear on it.
I guess if you are thinking of a zapper, then they work by means of
attracting by light, so this should do similar.
The word Bug eater comes to mind, but I am not totally sure. I will have a
look around and see if I can find an add for one.....

Ok, I was a little wrong. A quick check of the local phone book for
"Insect
Control Equipment" found the number which I THINK is the one, it's not a
bug
eater
No website, just a phone number.



I found it - www.mozzie.com.au - It is called a bug eater.

Ciao,
Dave.
