With summer coming up, the change in weather will definitely make it more conducive for them pesky mosquitoes to breed, and these bloodsuckers aren’t exactly welcome no matter which part of the world you’re living at. The Mosquito Trap helps you get rid of this pest by the dozens as long as they keep on flying inside without a clue.

No propane, pesticides, or nocturnal lures to keep buying! Just plug this unit in and a built-in sensor automatically turns it on at dusk, when mosquitoes are most active. Blue LED light, CO2, and a heater attract these pests, and biting flies, into an easy-to-clean, mesh trap drawer. Manual switch allows daytime operation. UL listed. 10″ high x 12″ wide; can be raised 5″ or 17″ off the ground with included mounting stands. Effective up to 1/2 acre. 30 ft. cord included

The Mosquito Trap retails for $99.99 each.

We’ve seen all sorts of bikinis in stores before, but don’t be surprised when you come across the Binkini in the near future! This innovative piece of clothing is but a bra for your butt. Yes, you no longer have to settle for expensive plastic surgery procedures to get that rear end of yours lifted up - instead, slip on the Binkini and see an instant difference when you take a look at the mirror. The patented Binkini retails for $30 and has a series of straps that you wear around the waist and under your bum cheeks to shape, tone, lift and support your derriere for an instant and significant effect. Males can settle for the more expensive $40 Maniki. Not entirely hi-tech, but it does get the job done without much hassle.

Planex has a brand new network attached storage device known as the MZK-NAS02SG1T. Having one of these makes it easy to sway even the most staunch supporter of original software, music and movies. After all, with 1TB of storage space, it makes the $524 price point extremely appealing considering you will be able to take advantage of its DigiJuke browser that can be used for searching and tagging BitTorrent and YouTube content which you want downloaded. Not only that, downloaded content can be chosen to be encoded in the relevant format for the PSP, iPod, Wii, or even regular TV for in-home or on-the-go viewing. Heck, this Planex NAS can also stream audio and video to iTunes laptops or desktops, DLNA TV, Xbox 360, or other compatible device at home. Are you raring to own one already?
