Mosquito Repeller

I walked by a big bin of these at the OSH store yesterday evening, and Icouldn't resist the temptation to buy one ($6.97) just for itscollectible value. It's a Lentek 'Mosquito Contro' which is a bitbigger than a business card and about 3/8" (10mm) thick (not countingthe pocket clip), and uses two LR44 button cells for power. It has a "0I II" switch and a "HI LOW" adjustment pot for 'fine tuning'.I'm fully aware of this:What I'm wondering is why, after almost two years, they are stillselling these in the stores. With the packaging that misrepresents thatthese things actually work - says "repels mosquitos from your personalspace".I can take the key chain off and use it for whatever. But the unit,well, I guess I'll just tell people that this is just for grins.--@@F@r@o@m@@O@r@a@n@g@e@@C@o@u@n@t@y@,@@C@a@l@,@@w@h@e@r@e@@###Got a Question about ELECTRONICS?

My youngest son (who lives in AZ) just loves the Outer Banks, vacations there virtually every year.

When he shows for Christmas I'll ask about the flies.

This site indicates you might be right. There, also, were horses nearby, as I said. The confusing thing is that they were on the island as well.

I went in the warm weather, so he may not encounter them, depending on the time of year he goes. I know many people who love the Outer Banks. I just never got back during a different time of year to enjoy them.

I'd be curious to know what he says, though, Jim. Enjoy your Christmas with your son.
