Oh bugger!!

Bunch of mosquitos stuck in the shop driving me nuts. Usually use a livestock bug spray killer but the local farm was closed so I got a bug bomb from walmart. Apparently it's perfumed as the shop now smells like a womans bathroom!

Blegh

Had a bat scare the crap out of me when I was working late on the electric car the other night. That was a cool little bugger though. Got to see the collision avoidance system in action. Just wish it didn't demonstrate so close to my head! LOL

Took some pictures before encouraging it out of the shop.

I might not know much about fixing my truck but I do live in the jungle and know how to deter bugs.

Dryer sheets keep mosquitoes away.

They also hate Borax. Mix Borax and water together in a spray bottle and spray around the perimeter of your house or shop.

If you have old coconuts, you can burn them and smoke them away. If no coconuts then turn up the fuel on your truck and roll coal, that will chase them out.
