Clever product

Got a mosquito problem? Check out the SkeeterBag It's a nylon mesh bag that you slip over a window box-fan and it traps the mozzies and keeps them there until they dehydrate. Only $10 -- worth checking out if you have a problem.

From their website:
Testing for Skeeter Bag™ began in the summer of 2004 at a puppy breeding facility in Central Florida. The facility cares for over 100 adult dogs and as many as 30 puppies at a given moment. Their mosquito problem was out of control. On June 12, 2004 the first trap was set six feet above several dogs on the sleeping porch and by morning it had over 3,500 mosquitoes inside. As the mosquito season picked up as many as 38,000 mosquitoes were caught in a night (estimated by weight 1 gram » 1,000 dried mosquitoes). In reaction to these astronomical result the inventors, Sidney McCarty IV and Mark Eugene Valentine coined a phrase for Skeeter Bag™, “It’s like a black hole in a mosquitoes universe.” They also said jokingly, “Let’s face it man, you’re the bait, you and your beloved animals are at the center of their universe. Why not use that?”
