Currently, I Am the Mosquito Magnet…

I’m sure you folks in the Adirondacks will understand what I mean… I don’t know what it is about me– maybe because my body temperature is slightly higher than normal– but bugs LOVE me. I cannot go into my backyard or on any camping trip or hiking excursion without first slathering myself with bug spray. I am a little concerned about the chemicals in the bug spray… I have no idea what effect they have on me… but if I go in the woods without any protection, I am assaulted by black flies and mosquitoes. We traveled to Nichol’s Pond to see the old Oneida Indian settlement there, and I hadn’t brought any bug spray with me. As soon as we stepped out of the field and into the swampy woods, I was attacked.
The same thing for my backyard (it’s forested and there’s a stream and a swamp next door). I have to be careful, because there’s West Nile virus here in New York… the hives and itching are bad enough from the blasted insects, last thing I need is to get sick, GRRR.
So I watched this video about something called
The Mosquito Magnet with great interest. It’s not bug spray– you don’t spread any chemicals on your body or clothing– it’s a gasoline-powered device that draws mosquitoes to the machine, where they are killed. Watch the end, when the guy shows how many mosquitoes he zapped after a month. Whoa.
There are more testimonials and more information about The Mosquito Magnet at the
mosquito magnet review website. Some folks bring the machine along when they go camping, too. Nice! Since it’s gas-powered, you don’t need electricity (and electrical extension cords) to run it. There’s a solar-powered device, too. Pretty neat! Check it out– it may just save your summer!
