Re the Skeeter Magnet... does anyone else find it odd that a couple of years after this machine was patented, West Nile Virus became a big issue?

Metch... they WORK! My cousin lives beside a brook that empties into the salt water marshes of the Petitcodiac River. There's a large pond upstream of the culvert under the road, adjacent to his property. I have been there before the "magnet". UN-F***ING-REAL. These buggers are about a half inch long and they can fly in a twenty MPH wind. Eat you alive! Magnet>>> BBQ and sit out all day and not a skeeter around. However, he IS beside the marshes, so, after dark, if there is no wind... well, he's screwed. But there is usually a breeze and it's tolerable.
