Octanol is used in the bug zapper device, an electric shock (to the point sometimes of evaporating the insect to dust) solution to the insect infestation problem. If you can plug it in or have a unit that runs on batteries, this is a great bait and switch method that works incredibly well.

The octanol known as “mushroom alcohol” because it’s airborne attractant covers a wide area, rests inside the device and attract them in. They aren’t attracted to ultraviolet light, a misconception based on how some bug lights use black lights to illuminate the area for the user (safety) but keep it dark so it’s not zapping you in the eyes with bright light. Once they fly too close to the electric fence/rod/wire, the arch is grounded and they become dust- instant kill.

The bug zapper can handle a lot of simultaneous mosquito zaps in a given area. When the area becomes saturated with dead mosquito dust the mosquitoes are repelled temporarily by survival instinct (either by the smell/disruption in air space, or the sound and terrifying crackle of the bugs hitting it).

Outside the wind tends to blow the dust away, the carcus lands on the ground or in a tray inside the unit, and the unit is reset each time by the wind (blows away any repellent smells of dead mosquito).

Some of the different types of bug zappers on the market include:

Solar powered bug zappers have come out! It’s an amazing free energy driven device that you simply set up point the solar panel towards the light (best sun areas are best) and heat of the suns rays and it will charge itself every day. The unit can come on automatically by a sensor that detects night, or it can turn on when enough power has been accumulated to power the grid.

The solar cells are generally not powerful enough to convert enough of the suns energy into electricity on the fly to run this device in real time from electricity derived from the cells- but it doesn’t take long to charge the capacitor enough to utilize the device. A motion sensor can be equipped on the unit to turn on when bugs enter a certain perimeter, a sort of arming sensor that may turn on when bugs are detected and turn off when there is no movement.

Manual Electric Zappers and the Fun Electric Fly Swatter!

Everyone has heard of the electric bug zapper or has owned, used, and been marveled (or horrified) by the automated action of the unit. This unit can be plugged in or run on batteries and is very powerful.

The Electric Fly Swatter is a fun device often shaped like a tennis racket with the threads in the middle being an electrically charged grid that will fry a fly, mosquito, or any bug that doesn’t get lucky or isn’t small enough to fly right through the middle of one of the spaces when you swipe it.

This type of bug zapper is manual utilizing an on the fly (pardon the pun) electric charge that works much like a stun gun, applying pressure to the button on the handle you can “arm” the unit and any bug that touches the grid is instantly fried, zapped, and out for the count. Some bigger fly’s take more than a few zaps and the smell can be nauseating so make sure your outside when you fire that thing if possible or in a well ventilated area.

There are many great ways to protect yourself from the disease carrying varments. Some are more tolerable than others, but all the ones mentioned in this article are effective and have been proven to work well.

Bugs are an unwelcome annoyance to an outdoor picnic, camping trip, and even a fishing trip. Mosquitoes especially tend to bite and bite hard- hard enough to rip you away from your focus on the end of your fishing pole for a tug to the extent of dropping the pole.

The bite is just the annoying part- they actually steal your blood like a portable blood bank robber. Your body will easily replace the missing blood, but what is truly scary is that mosquitoes are the cockroaches of the air, moving disease from one person or animal to another because it’s always using a dirty needle.

Mosquitoes don’t become infected by the diseases they carry and this means they aren’t deterred by bad blood, nor are they picky about where they get it or aware that they are spreading disease- they just know they want blood and your emitting a gas in your breath and sweat called octanol that they can smell from (literally) a mile away.

Aquaponics is a new system that takes a unique approach to growing your flowers and vegetables. It is definitely organic and friendly to the environment. There are a number of ways you can approach the system, but working with a starter kit is the best way to make sure you get it right the first time. This article will help explore the concept of aquaponics and prepare you to embark on your first journey with this new system. A recent development, aquaponics is similar to hydroponic growing systems, but it relies on the natural harmony of fish and plants to ensure maximum growth for both. The fish excrete waste into the water in the form of nitrogen. In high quantities, this can be fatal to the fish. A filter is usually required to eliminate the waste or the fish will die. This is usually handled through water changes and by adding chemicals to your tank. A good filter will help. But when you use an aquaponics system, that plants will absorb the nitrogen and grow into healthy pla
