091409castro-mosquito.jpgWe're not able to vouch for the efficiency of this imported pest control gadget, but it supposedly uses "electronic vaporization to diffuse "Nomat," a chemical vapor that kills mosquitoes in the room and repels them outside". The whole process is odorless and safe to both humans and pets, possibly a savior for those of us who sleep with the windows open during these warmer summer nights...

The Castro Mosquito Vaporizer at $85 features:


  • Size: 10.8x9.8x9.8cm / cord length 70cm
  • Operating temperature: 0-50 degrees farenheit
  • Electronic operation with auto-off (8 hours) and LED indicator
  • Colors: Pink, Green, White, Black
  • Power: 100V, 50/60Hz AC
  • Comes with three 60-day Nomat bottles
  • Manual: Japanese

We're still trying to discover what "nomat" exactly is, but there are reports of some people feeling "raspy throats" upon its use here, so take heed if you've got a sensitive system.
