He’s humble and says that he can’t sing some of his songs anymore.

Watched an episode of White Lotus last night against my better judgement. Sydney Sweeney and Alexandra Daddario's husband are both so annoying.

I like those, and we were gonna try a date night. She wasn't feeling good enough though, so I went looking for a bug zapper, and a milkshake 😆. Got my milkshake, but dang, Lowe's, Walmart, and tractor supply didn't have the zapper I wanted in store.

It was a very sad attempt at humor. I looked forward to it.

While bug zappers do kill insects, they are generally ineffective at controlling mosquito populations. They primarily attract and kill harmless insects, including beneficial pollinators, rather than specifically targeting mosquitoes.

Here's a more detailed breakdown:
How they work: Bug zappers use UV light to attract insects, which are then electrocuted by a charged metal grid.

Why they are ineffective against mosquitoes:
  • Mosquitoes are not primarily attracted to UV light:
    They are more drawn to carbon dioxide and body odor, which are not emitted by bug zappers.

  • They kill a wide range of insects:
    Bug zappers indiscriminately kill various insects, including beneficial pollinators, which can disrupt the ecosystem.

  • Limited effectiveness:
    Studies have shown that bug zappers only kill a small percentage of insects, and even fewer are mosquitoes.

  • May even increase mosquito populations:
    By killing beneficial insects that prey on mosquitoes, bug zappers could inadvertently lead to a higher mosquito population.
More effective alternatives for mosquito control:

  • Mosquito traps: These traps are designed to specifically attract and capture mosquitoes.

  • Repellents: DEET and picaridin are effective repellents that can deter mosquito bites.

  • Eliminating breeding grounds: Getting rid of standing water, where mosquitoes lay their eggs, is a crucial step in controlling their population.
Dont be fooled like Rusty dey dont work on skeeters
