Honey Trap

So this is dengue season. People are dropping like flies all around you. Posters line the streets reminding you constantly of the potential breeding zones. You ransack your home for any pools of stagnant water. From pots and pans, to flower pots and toilet brush holders. You've looked everywhere and found none. Hey, you should be credited for being a fastidious and meticulous house keeper.

Convinced that your home isn't a mosquito factory, what do you do about those multiplying outside your house? Giving themselves at bath by that stagnant pond or drain a few meters out? Or bed and breakfast in your neighbors' homes? Yes, you could close your windows, live in an air-conditioned cocoon and poison yourself with insecticide. Or you could buy yourself one of these.

The take-up rate for these insect lamps in Lion City are not as high as they should be. For a country at war with a deadly pest, this is a laughable oversight. Any flying insect attracted to that milky white fluorescence is immediately incinerated by a static coil. This is one silent and deadly honey trap.
