Bug Zappers.  Please folks, if you own one and live in a close
neighborhood, DON'T leave it on all night.  You may take great
comfort in your bed that the gadget is zapping the local bug
population, but there is nothing more annoying to a neighbor
who has to listen to the constant Snap, Crackle, and Pop
drifting through his bedroom window all night.  Please shut the
thing off when you retire.  Zapping all night is not going to
amount to a hill of beans as far as the local bug concentration
is concerned.  By all means use the zapper when you are outside
if it makes you feel better, but think about the neighbors when
you go in.  I have a neighbor who has two of those industrial
sized zappers.  They only left them on once.  Everyone in a
three house radius mentioned it the next day.  The guy did not
keep it on all night again, but then again he is very considerate.
