Mosquito catching over Wi-Fi: The story is a little bit more excited than the reality behind it. The leading manufacturing of automated mosquito-catching devices plans to build a smart network that communicates with 802.11b with a central server that can report changing wind conditions, hardware failures, and conditions unfavorable to mosquito sucking. It's a vacuum cleaner that omits odors attractive to mosquitos. A note of sanity is cast in the last paragraphs of the story against the $15 million funding the company developing the technology received: better to kill mosquitoes before they breed!
I'm from Maine where any form of mosquito control is better than nothing. Yes, the oil does work if you have a pond or a lake, but in places covered by wetlands, the oil cannot disperse and is far less effective. The "mosquito magnets" are very popular.
