Stumbled on this tonight. http://www.costco.ca/Browse/Product.aspx?prodid=10300216&whse=BCCA&topnav=&cat=3309&b=1&lang=en-CA
We live in a wooded area with a lot of bugs, so I am actually thinking of ordering one. Plus the kids will get a kick out of it. If anyone want one that lives within pickup distance, let me know.

My father was an organic gardener, he regularly order praying mantis and ladybugs from seed companies.
We grew everything, all natural fertilizers and no pesticides

That sounds like a great alternative to pesticides. Just remind the kids that they do bite! (as determined from personal experience :o)

Looks like you'll be relatively bug free this summer!

Hmmm might have to pass this along to my g/f's dad, he has been looking for something to help control insects in his backyard but wants something that isn't going to make the grand kids or dogs sick.

I had one on my side mirror several years ago, he stayed there for a while.

You can always go to the pet store and get some geckos.

Unfortunately the link was to Costco Canada, and they are not available here in the US. So I did a quick search and found that you can get them even cheaper on amazon.
