My mother wanted to give me a 2x2x1 foot bug zapper. I live in a small townhouse, only a few feet of outdoor space. What we do have is taken up with native plants trying alto attract bees and insects due to the shocking drop in them. We also live in a climate that does not have mosquitoes or annoying bugs really. In the 8 years I've lived here we have had one fly come into our home, we've never complained about bugs once, and we've constantly talked about how little space we have.

I returned it.

I am ashamed to admit I spent way too long trying to figure out what a "foot bug" was.

... ... ... I'm tired. :'(

Haha I read it as "foot bug zapper", as in a bug zapper you attach to your foot...
