An Indian product for a change.
Added 2019-03-31 14:23:58 +0000 UTCChina isn't the only gadget option on eBay. I don't think India has the benefit of China's ridiculously low shipping costs, but their base prices are so low that they can still sell some interesting products internationally.

This video is about plug in vapourising / vaporizing insect control units. Mainly aimed at mosquitos, but also probably suitable for nuisance bugs like midges and no-see-ums (which sound like the same thing).
The active agents are also suitable for moth control, which is interesting, because the dedicated moth control products in the UK often have an inflated value due to being associated with the fashion industry. Notably the overpriced moth protection cards which are basically a tiny portion of repellent soaked into cardboard. These units could offer a more functional and versatile treatment option.

I'm sure I've been put on plenty of lists since the dawn of the 'net.

2019-04-01 07:00:19 +0000 UTCIf that one does contain lemongrass oil it will attract honey bees. Seems like a strange choice.

2019-04-01 02:50:26 +0000 UTCI'm not sure why the power factor is skewed slightly. It might be a resistance fluctuation effect associated with the temperature ripple.

2019-03-31 21:20:35 +0000 UTCI wasn't ready for cockwombles! Brilliant. Fortunately insects aren't much of a problem here in the middle of England.

2019-03-31 20:25:45 +0000 UTCWhy is the power factor of all those devices smaller than 1, if these are purely resistive loads, even the one without any lights?

2019-03-31 18:37:04 +0000 UTCThe midges are often terrible here in Ireland also. Most mosquito repellents barely work with them either, which catches out visitors such as from the USA. If it's warm, dead calm and overcast outside (ideal conditions for midges), I've yet to find a repellent that completely keeps them off me other than a mosquito net.

2019-03-31 16:46:34 +0000 UTCRupees are usually written Rs. (with the dot) or ₹, often combined with multipliers like lakh and crore. 0.85 rupees would be just under 1p.
2019-03-31 15:50:14 +0000 UTCWe have the same problems with shipping in Canada but here it is suspected that it is the postal employees are pocketing stuff.
2019-03-31 15:13:26 +0000 UTCNo-see-ums are like American midges as far as I can work out, except they're way less psychotically determined than Scottish ones.
