The scientists behind the “Star Wars” missile defence program have created a badass new weapons system that can destroy millions of mosquitoes in mere minutes using lasers.
Just listen to this announcer. Have you ever heard someone so happy, nay, spiritually fulfilled over rodent control? We’re pretty sure he was paid to do this voice over for the Victor Multi-Kill Electronic Mouse Trap, a $US100 mini chamber that electrocutes 150 mice per set of batteries, but we’re also pretty sure that the announcer turned around with his paycheck from the spot and picked up a unit for himself. Maybe he was just sick and tired of eating his mice sandwiches cold, which is fair. [Victor]
Nothing puts a damper on summertime activities quite like an infestation of pests. The warm weather brings out all kinds of creepy-crawlies, and getting the upper hand on them is no easy task. There are plenty of traditional methods of handling the situation, but they all lack one key element–fun. Indeed, a twisted type of pleasure can be derived from exterminating these pests if you have the right tools. So arm yourself with the following gadgets and enjoy some sick summertime fun.

Then it would have a weapon. That’s why you have to get serious with an electric roach motel to fry the little buggers.
Japanese entertainment rag BARKS is floating the idea that the Wii puts out a sound frequency that “calls out” to and attracts the dirty little creepy-crawlers—gokiburi, one of my favourite Japanese words, even though I hate roaches. It’s probably bunk and (BARK admits it might be), but have any of you noticed your pad’s become a roach motel despite maintaining the same standard of (un)cleanliness?

Flyswatters have a simple function, to kill flies. But what if you are crazy have an inherent respect for all living things? That’s when you need designer Erik Bagger’s flyswatter. Comprised of 50 polyester fibers, it’s meant to stun both flies and neighbors alike, both confused by why you are battling insect infestations with kinky sex toys, again.
