Does anyone have any experience with those new mosquito
traps that use propane tanks?
Prices seem to range from $1200 to $200.

Why would you want to bother with such expensive and energy-intensive stuff, when you'd just need to apply a little patchouli, instead?

Those green spirals that you light and let smoke are pretty nifty.. only like.. $10 for a can.

That's what they have on the box here in Oz. Just be sure you never tread one on by accident - the metal stand goes right through your foot.

Other than that, they work damn well.
