Mosquitoes beware! by D. Jacobson
We had a similar "bug zapper" years ago. The old one quit working after many summers of use so when we found this one, thought we would give it a try. We hadn't been able to find one in the stores. It hangs out by the shed and snaps and crackles every night of the summer months. We actually have to close our bedroom window because it works so hard. We live in North Dakota and our main objective is to get rid of those pesky and virus-carrying mosquitoes. Of course it can't get them all, but the mosquito population has been reduced significantly. One problem is getting the "fried" bugs cleaned off the unit so it works with 100% proficiency. You can't bang it or shake it so we use a low pressure air hose to gently blow the bugs out - which is kind of a pain. The birds gather around the ground under the zapper and have a feast of barbequed bugs every morning! Overall it does what it's supposed to do so both the birds and the humans are happy.
