The vampire slayer

Have you ever noticed that mosquitoes and vampires have very similar characteristics? They both live on blood. They both avoid the sun, only coming out at night. They never seem to die. They love water. They always hang out in groups. They both watch you in your sleep. They are both annoying as hell. They both glisten in the sun.... wait, I think I am starting to describe twilight.

I took this Mosquito Magnet from my parents house.



I was a bit skeptical at first. I had tried a few things that were hopeless at fighting off the vampires. This thing is awesome. It runs on propane, electricity and attractant. It uses electricity to run a fan. The propane burns as hot air, water vapor and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide, heat and attractant attract the mosquitoes. A propane tank lasts one month. There is always a pack of mosquitoes hanging around the device. They get close to the attractant where they get sucked up into a net. The heat dries them out and kills them. This is one weeks killings. I can finally go out and not get eaten alive. Still a lot more to go. I might have to start calling my new machine "Blade" and give it flat-top. I would rather refer to the machine as "Blade" than "Buffy".
