Extreme Pest Control!
:: A lean, mean extreme bug killing machine!

Easily the best non-propane unit on the market, the Mosquito Mega-Catch is virtually maintenance free: just plug it in and turn it on. The trap uses a strip of octenol (to generate a scent that resembles breath), a UV bulb, and flashing LEDs (oscillating frequencies determined to coincide with spectral sensitivities of many mosquitoes).

When mosquitoes get close to the trap, the patented airflow system that disperses the attractant sucks the insects inside, where they are collected in a mesh catch bag or a liquid catch pan that is easy and safe to empty.
Note From Technophile: In a USDA suburban test, the Mega-Catch trap captured up to 1,200 mosquitoes in a single night and diminished mosquito populations over an entire acre! The question is, will it trap ghosts? (Looks kinda like a Proton Pack from Ghostbusters.):: Source: [Hammacher Schlemmer, VIA OHGIZMO and uncrate ]

I love the idea! Its extreme, awesome and brilliant. Mosquitoes and other flying bugs are such pests and I am tired of rubbing anti-iching creams on me and my kids. I think every household should get one of these gadgets! Make it more public people. Use tools like MyPRGenie (http://www.myprgenie.com/technology/) to market the product and build PR. I think its a mind blowing idea and so useful :)
