Not an Official Product Review. More Me Fangirling.

I don't know if anyone noticed, but I stopped doing product reviews years ago. A couple of things happened at about the same time. 1. I took a promotion at my day job that made me extra super busier. 2. The company that I worked through for the reviews went ... in the VERY wrong direction after being acquired a few times. It is a shell of what it used to be and doing reviews through them is basically stupid at this point.

All of that is to say, nobody paid for the words I'm about to type. I just feel the need to say them.

ALL HAIL ZEVO!

Yeah, so ... the mother effin' gnats in the house. They have been a constant source of irritation for over a year. I think they originally came in with a houseplant. The source was addressed, but for the love of gummy bears, I couldn't get rid of them completely. No matter what room I was in, there was one lonely gnat making sure I knew it was there. For a while, there was an explosion of them in our half bathroom, which I managed to tame by cleaning every millimeter of that space with bleach and fury. But the one in every room? I COULD NOT WIN.

Watching TV. Gnat.

Working at my desk. Gnat. Usually right in front of my face as I tried to maintain my composure during a video call.

The bathroom. A gnat blipping around between the mirror and the light fixture.

In bed. A lonely little gnat would bzzzzzzz close enough to my face to make me slap at the air like a fish out of water.

So I spent $20 on the stupid Zevo thing thinking it couldn't possibly make the situation worse and ZOMG IT WORKED.

It plugs in and lights up blue. Inside it's basically fly paper. The theory is that it will attract the mother effin' flying things and they'll get stuck. Cool theory, but I fully expected it to be exactly that and nothing more. A theory. BUT IT WORKED. In 12 hours, it had wooed 8 stupid gnats and their dead carcasses were glued to the inside of the trap.

Yes, that sounds gross, but it's less gross than them flying around. And while 8 doesn't sound like that many, I haven't seen one on the loose since.

Therefore, I am declaring victory. Thanks, Zevo!

[Hello Haha Narf]

I might need a few of these. Damn plants have little gnats living in their soil. GRRRR.
