Simpsons nib the bug

Stumbled on this article while scanning the web for a wristband mosquito repellent. HOMeR is a home-made solution to repelling mosquitoes. I have heard about the anti-mosquito property of lemongrass but so far, it hasn't been too successful for me. Perhaps because I'm not using them right. I tried soaking the grass stems in water and heating them as though the saps would diffuse into the supporting water body and evaporate. Duh!

But for me, my first objective is to use and effective method to eradicate them, not just ward them off. And so far, my electric lamp zapper seems to work pretty well. Oh, and by the way, I'm looking to purchase ovi-traps. Anyone knows where I can get one?
