Flip side

[Ron Gatrelle]

    As I said in my last post, I think it is too late once the mega
industrial lights have gone up. However, urban black light bug killers get
everything -- not just the mosquitoes and roaches. I still hate the sound of
insects frying in a black light bug zapper. There is still a lot of
"environment" in many urban areas. In these areas the corner street lights,
white porch lights, decorative dive way lights have no real impact on
nocturnal insect life. But the zappers are, in my opinion, a real problem.
In an abstract way, they don't just "attract" insects they indiscriminately
"hunt" them all to kill them all.
