How To Keep Mosquitoes Out Of Your Yard
I have had it with these motherf**king mosquitoes at these motherf**king outdoor dinner parties. To prevent the little blood suckers from ruining the your summer, drastic measures are necessary. Here are some of the most effective (or, at least, most satisfying) methods for your upcoming insect genocide.
Grow Your Own Little Hanging Garden Of Babylon
Just because you’re six stories up and the closest thing to a balcony you’ve got is the fire escape, doesn’t mean you can’t have yourself a kick-ass herb garden. The Volet Végétal concept could give even the densest city dwellers access to a little greenery.
Staggeringly Efficient Bathroom Fan Sucks Out Steam And Stink
The exhaust fan — that rattling, dusty vent hanging above the toilet — is the single most important gadget for the health of a bathroom. It eliminates the steam from a hot shower, helping battle the mould and mildew constantly threatening a bathroom’s finishes. The device also helps fix more immediate air quality issues — they’d never say it in front of a client, but in the salty slang of a plumbing supply house, pros refer to it as a fart fan.

Seems like every time the temperature in the San Francisco Bay Area dips enough to actually warrant building a fire, the Air District will declare a Spare the Air Day, making wood-burning illegal. This wall-mounted fireplace from Pureflame could be the answer — not only does it run on soot-free ethanol, I can hang it anywhere in my house.
