Take back your backyard this summer with 10 deals on insect-smashing weapons

Boing Boing, don’t do this. Who is responsible for arranging the “store” promoted content? I posted about this last year in 2020 but here we are again.

Promoting quack products harms everyone.

First off, “bug zappers” do not kill mosquitoes, who are not attracted to UV light in the least. They do kill moths, beetles and other beneficial insects, contributing to needless deaths of pollinators and beneficial insects.

Secondly, ultrasonic gadgets and mosquito bracelets have been thoroughly debunked. Go check out Wirecutter’s articles if you don’t believe me.

Mosquitoes are a serious health concern. Promoting quack products is a serious abandonment of principals. Boing Boing should know better. Please remove this product lineup from your site.
