Effectively Eliminate Mosquitoes in Your Yard with New "Skeeter Defeater™" Mosquito Defense Unit

Outdoor Solutions, Inc. has announced availability of its Skeeter Defeater™ Mosquito Defense Unit, a revolutionary that effectively eliminates mosquitoes in your yard. Covering areas of up to 300-square feet, the Skeeter Defeater Dispenser is portable, making it ideal for use in multiple environments. Skeeter Defeater products employ a patent-pending technology that automatically sprays pyrethrin, a botanical insecticide, at dusk and dawn every day when mosquitoes are most active.



Irving, TX (PRWEB) June 26, 2008 -- Outdoor Solutions, Inc has announced availability of its Skeeter Defeater™ Mosquito Defense Unit, a revolutionary mosquito killer that effectively helps eliminate mosquitoes in your yard. Covering areas of up to 300-square feet, the Skeeter Defeater Dispenser is portable, making it ideal for use in multiple environments.

Skeeter Defeater products employ a patent-pending technology that automatically sprays pyrethrin, a botanical insecticide, at dusk and dawn every day when mosquitoes are most active. Unlike repellents, this insecticide kills mosquitoes on contact. At a retail price of $69.95 for the Dispenser and $12.95 for the Cylinder Refill Unit (CRU), the Skeeter Defeater products are priced up to $100's less than competing mosquito elimination solutions.

"We designed the Skeeter Defeater™ line to be the most consumer-friendly, automatic mosquito elimination product on the market," said Marketing Director Brett Duncan. "What really sets it apart is its DUSK/DAWN® sensor, allowing you to simply set it up, turn it on and let it go to work, killing mosquitoes on contact."

"Another great advantage of the Skeeter Defeater™ Dispenser is that it's portable, meaning it can be taken from the backyard to the campsite and installed in seconds," Duncan added. "Other mosquito products and misting options, often costing thousands of dollars, can't make that claim."

Setting up and maintaining Skeeter Defeater products is a no-hassle process. For a much better price than many solutions, Skeeter Defeater products will automatically help reduce the mosquito population in any outdoor environment. The self-contained aspects of the unit allow users to take the Skeeter Defeater Dispenser with them, wherever they go. Replacing cylinders and batteries takes less than a minute and requires little technical expertise.

The Skeeter Defeater Mosquito Defense Unit is available now online at http://www.skeeterdefeater.com/ and at selected retailers including participating PetSmart stores and Ace Hardware, True Value, Orgill and Handy Hardware dealers. Check the website for an up-to-date list of dealers.

For more information about Skeeter Defeater™ products, contact Outdoor Solutions, Inc., 2500 Carl Road, Irving, TX 75062 or call 888-895-BUZZ (888-895-2899). Or visit the company's website at: http://www.skeeterdefeater.com/.

"Evil Cell Phone" Video Gains Cult Status, Illustrates America's Backlash Against Cell Phone Industry

No-Evil.net's "Microwave vs. Cell Phone" video attracts over 4 million viewers angry about cell phone bills.



Miami, FL - Popcorn-popping cell phones aren't the only viral cell phone videos sweeping the Internet. A new viral cell phone video - "Microwave vs. Cell Phone" - illustrating the "evil" nature of cell phones is mesmerizing the Internet and unleashing consumer rage against their cell phone carriers like never before. In the widely seen 56-second video, created by http://www.no-evil.net/, a cell phone placed into a microwave unexpectedly unleashes a terrifying monster a la "Alien." Audiences are clearly sympathetic: The clip was the most-viewed video on MySpace for the week of June 2, 2008.

Since the "Microwave vs. Cell Phone" video was posted on May 31, 2008, more than four million people have viewed it on YouTube, MySpace and Break, among other sites. The video's surprise ending - clearly a metaphor for the intense ambivalence people feel toward their cell companies - has evoked so much emotion that a staggering 14,000 viewers to date have posted heated comments about it.

The video is the work of Net10, the fastest growing new cell phone company in the US. Net10, whose brand slogan is "No Bills, No Contracts, No Evil," is hardly surprised by the cult status the video has achieved -- or by the strong negative emotions people continue to harbor toward its competitors.

"There are so many ways that post-paid cell phone providers carry out negative practices," said Derek Hewitt, Sr. V.P., marketing for Tracfone Wireless. "Hidden charges, over billing, long-term contracts and exorbitant fees for early cancellation are a few of the ways post-paid cell phone providers take advantage of their customers."

Judging by the response generated from the "Microwave vs. Cell Phone" video, American consumers agree.

The Net10-created Web site http://www.no-evil.net/ is a compendium of sins perpetuated by large cell phone providers against their customers. Visitors to the Web site can find, among other things, a detailed list of the many ways that these companies are ripping off their customers. There is even a place on the Web site for victims of cell phone service abuse to air their horror stories. And for those who just can't wait for their cell phone contract to end, the Web site will even find someone to buy out your contract for you.

By contrast, NET10 is founded on honesty and simplicity. The nationwide service provides calls at 10 cents per minute, 15 cents for overseas calls to over 60 destinations, and 5 cents for text messages. There are no bills, contracts, overages, hidden daily or monthly fees or any of the surprise other charges that enrage customers of traditional cell phone companies. Net10 is available in over 50,000 stores nationwide, including Walmart, Target, Circuit City, Kmart and Family Dollar.
