This skeevy Remote Control Cockroach raises only one question: why would anybody buy only one? Think about the worst-case scenario. Suppose we discreetly scare the bejeezus out of someone with this obedient little bug’s miniature remote control from around 20 to 25 feet away in direct sight of the roach. Although ...
“Summertime, and the livin' is easy…” - unless you live in a place with mosquitoes. By my humble estimation that happens to be EVERYWHERE (say it like Gary Oldman in The Professional. It’s fun and not at all distracting). Nature’s tiny vampires are just a part of the whole summer experience. They’re annoying and leave ...
Have your kids hit that adorable stage wherein every three words out of their precious paycheck-devouring mouths seem to be, "We want a puppy?" Well, don't be afraid to low-ball your counter-offers. Why sink hundreds of dollars or more into a four-legged friend when you could gift your spawn two six-legged ...
If flies have similar unwritten laws to the way human existence plays out, there's a tried-and-true old saw that warns, "You never hear the one that has your name on it." While we'll almost certainly never know whether a fly hears the air rushing past a swatter right before it disintegrates its central nervous ...
Welcome to the Golden Age of Pool Floats. This summer alone, we've paddled and idly drifted along atop a colossal sprinkled donut that would put Homer Simpson to his knees, a succulent pair of red lips, and quite possibly our favorite of all, a big grinning mound of tightly coiled poop. Now, thanks to the wonderful ...
The Game Over Bug Zapper turns any irritating winged pest's last living moments into an all-too-brief sobering realization that it deserves to be taunted by the very weapon that just sent its insides escaping to the outside. We've tried ascertaining whether insects can eventually contextualize human writing and ...
Bugs are everywhere, especially near nature you will find them lurking. Unfortunately, bug bites are common, especially mosquito bites when venturing outdoors to go hiking, biking, camping, walking on the beach or an in an open field. Getting bitten is no fun, but there is something that can be used to relieve the ...
If you don't like insects such as mosquitoes, gnats and other flying 'things', you are not alone. There is a huge industry dedicated to keeping bugs at bay from peoples' homes, work places, restaurants and any place where they congregate. That is why bug lights are so popular, compared to chemical sprays and sticky ...
As a general rule, human beings are all too often prone to dismissing from afar what can be inescapably fascinating up-close. Take your average insect, for example. We don't necessarily mean strictly the most exotic, vibrantly colored species, either. Seen with a naked eye from a typical vantage point, we don't ...
You may have seen a number of statues in your lifetime. From the Statue of Liberty to the Great Sphinx of Giza to the David Statue in Italy, statues represent not just people and animals, but historical events and the lives of those who do something truly great. Though the oldest statues created around 30,000 years ...
Having a bug in your home or outside is often bad news and sometimes you can find yourself battling with wasps for hours before you can go to bed. No fun. But on the plus side, this is about the closest you ever come to Hollywood-style-action in your kitchen. It requires quick reactions, creative thinking and ...
As technology improves so too does the arms race gather momentum and result in more and more powerful instruments of destruction. Fortunately, mosquitos are lagging behind when it comes to technological advancement which allows us to 'definitely win' the war against them. The Thermacell Repellant Camp Lantern is a ...
