Looks like a cheap kid-sized tennis racket, but brother, this ain't for the kids. It's actually a fine way for adults to work on their upper-body strength and kill bugs at the same time. 18" long, with a 6" wide paddle lined with metal grid. A coil in the handle sends high voltage through the paddle when a button is pushed, hit a bug with it and the bug will bug you no more. But despite the manufacturer's claims that it's safe for people, Scott reports that flesh-paddle contact delivers a nasty shock, nasty enough to say "Keep this away from kids!" We've seen these in other catalogs for about twice the price, so buy it from us. Just be careful with it. 2 AA batteries, not included.

Grow a beautiful garden full of plants that love your soil! It's easy if you know your soil's pH, and we have a gauge to help you! Stick the probe into moist soil for the pH to register in a separate 4" x 2" x 1" gauge box on the end of a 26 ft. cord. That let's you keep the probe in the garden while reading the gauge at your doorstep! A needle indicates the pH on a scale of 3.5-9, and you get a list of which plants like which pH levels.

So much friendlier than a Venus flytrap, the TickleMe Plant responds by folding its leaves when you tickle it, opening them when you stop. Semi-guaranteed to cheer up cranky shut-ins. You get a mini-pot, (10-20) seeds, and a peat pellet. Sprouts in a couple of days. (Tickle yourself in the meantime.)

Death on a stick. And this latest mosquito zapper is solar powered, so you save yourself from the bugs while you're saving the planet. The dark-green plastic unit, ideal for a yard where power is a problem, measures 7" x 4" x 5-1/2" not counting the 14" plastic stake you stick it on. A blue LED bulb attracts the critters and an electrical wire you-should-pardon-the-expression-kills them. Only a small spark, but it's got enough juice to get the job done. Also includes a tabletop stand and a folding wire hanger as alternatives to the removable stake.

All butterflies are solar, we suppose, but this one needs more concentrated power than the cocoon kind. We'll pick either a monarch or yellow swallowtail for you. Spookily real-looking and flying to a fare-thee-well on a delicate 10" inch wire that's mounted on the offset cam of a small DC motor with a butterfly-shaped solar panel. Snug the device, on a 13" dark-green plastic support column with its easy-to-insert stake, close to a plant in the garden or a flowerpot, and it will blend right in. The butterfly won't get tired and won't leave until you move it. Add a "AA" battery for cloudy days or a housebound or night-flying butterfly. So much easier than trying to train nature.

CJ calls it very clever, and we agree. The Soda Bottle Wasp Trap" from Gadjit® Outdoors has a sleeve that fits into any size pop bottle, plus a 3-3/8" dia x 1-1/2" tall top that screws onto bottles-onto a 1" OD neck, the standard soda bottle opening-and invites stinging pests inside for a drink. Permanently. Use regular, non-diet pop-wasps, hornets and yellow-jackets are notoriously indifferent about their weight. Includes a few wasp-themed stickers to decorate the bottle. Please note: this trap will not attach properly to the new Coca-Cola low-profile bottles.

These polyester fabric, super-stretch bright-green gloves will fit even big mitts. They're 12" long overall, with a extra-stretchy 5-1/2" long wrist section to go over your cuffs. Ambidextrous design means that you'll have (24) rights or lefts if you only need to keep one hand clean, or (12) pair if you throw yourself into your work with both hands. Nice as liners or as light-duty work gloves and cheap enough to toss.

The "Sunforce® Solar Vent 1000" is a low-power, solar-driven exhaust fan, ideal for places where wiring is a problem. Reversible, but not super gutsy, it's meant to move air slowly in or out over a long period of time. Exterior is 8-1/2" dia with a 4-1/4" dia solar cell. Interior section is 4-1/4" dia plus a 3/4" plastic gasket. The mounting unit itself is 3-3/8" thick overall and is made to mount through a 4-1/4" dia hole in a thin surface: glass, polycarbonate, plywood, metal. We're thinking campers, greenhouses, sheds, doghouses, robot suits and the like. Will also run on the replaceable internal NiMH battery.

Automatic plant watering is now a snap and a bargain. Just screw one of these dark-green plastic water spikes onto one of your cast-off 1- or 2-liter soda-pop bottles that you've filled with water, adjust the flow-control device that's built into the screw cap, and stick the spike a couple of inches into the dirt around the potted plant. Maintains consistent moisture without over- or under-watering. Can also be used with liquid plant food! Our each is a pack of (6) water spikes.
