Mosquitoes – love them or loathe them, wait a minute here. Unless you are part of an extremely niche scientific community who loves spending time with mosquitoes because of your research work, I don’t think anyone else would love them. In fact, we are armed to the teeth with plenty of anti-mosquito remedies to date, but none of them seem to be a permanent solution to the mosquito question. These tiny bloodsuckers have the awesome ability of sneaking into your home unnoticed, only to keep you awake all through the night with their incessant buzzing, while taking sips of your vitamin-nourished blood before sneaking away to return another night. I was given the InaTrap device to review, and since I live in a tropical country where it is perpetually summer all year round in humid conditions, it is the ideal tool to duke it out against those pesky mosquitoes.

The big question is, does it work or not? Do I have a Dungeons & Dragons-style of 16’ mosquito cone of silence when the InaTrap device is turned on? Well, before I answer that question, here is a little bit of background information on the kind of technology that you will be getting in exchange for $89.90. For instance, it is definitely a looker, where it resembles more of a high tech lamp than a mosquito trap, and nice to know it does not harm you, your pets, plants, and basically remains as quiet as a church mouse even when it is turned on.

Basically, when the InaTrap mosquito trap is turned on, it will get about trying to entice mosquitoes to enter through the opening right under the pseudo-shade, where the whirring fan will suck them into the compartment which is located at the base, and those pesky bloodsuckers won’t be flying out to bother you any more after that. What is the deal with the InaTrap that makes it more enticing than your blood? Well, the UV light will turn on to attract mosquitoes while emitting extremely low levels of carbon dioxide to be the bait. Of course, the manual says that this works best when you are not in the room, so you would do well to turn this on in your home whenever you are not around, and hopefully, by the time you return, you would find your fair share of mosquitoes inside.

The spinning fan should make short work of the mosquito that goes through it, where you then pull open the tray at the bottom and dispose of the bodies. I personally have captured more than just mosquitoes with the InaTrap, although moths are not predisposed to it, there were other tiny winged insects that were sucked to their doom.

So far, the InaTrap, while it managed to trap its fair share of mosquitoes, still did not make my apartment mosquito free even though I have made sure that there are no possible breeding grounds for them. Perhaps it is time to start checkout out that wardrobe of mine that is filled to the brim with old clothes, I am quite sure that a fair number of them literal suckers are waiting, biding their time to fly out while avoiding the fate of their brethren. Bear in mind that you will need to replace the CCFL lighting approximately once every couple of years in order to keep it running at maximum efficiency.

Alarms and alerts have become a necessity in our ever changing lives. House alarms, car alarms, key finder alerts, “hey you left the refrigerator” reminders, “someone let the cat out” alert. Face it, alarms and alerts provide peace of mind and protect us and our loved ones. Wireless Sensor Tags developed by Cao Gadgets LLC, would like to help in this process.

Wireless Sensor Tags are tiny, battery powered devices that detect changes in temperature, location or angle. Connect the Tag Manager to power and your router and it will locate up to 255 sensors within 200 feet. Then the fun begins.  Download the app for your smart device (iOS or Android) and  you will receive continuous updates – via email, tweet or smart device – of temperature changes or movement in the sensors. Also, they detect changes in angle. All of this enables you to monitor just about anything from anywhere in the world! Temperature of the refrigerator, whether the garage door is up or down, whether the dog is in or out. Name it! Another perk is the lost item finder. Activate the feature on the app and the sensor will beep constantly until moved. So attach one to your keys…or your mind before you lose it! And you  set the  frequency or type of alert you receive. So you can always know if your front door is open but don’t have to get notices worry if the cat sneaks out.

Personally this is one of the coolest things I have reviewed in recent memory. The uses are really limitless. And for the minor investment – just $69 for the Ethernet Tag Manager and $15 per Wireless Sensor  it is somewhat of a no brainer to protect your valuables.  Fortunately or unfortunately the demand has outpaced supply. But production is in full swing and you an expect September ship dates. So think about what is important in your life. And consider the benefits of always knowing what happens when you are away.
