Rid o Ray insect killer tested at Battle Creek fire site
The Rid o Ray device hangs on a tripod near Battle Creek fire facilities in North Idaho. Forest Service testers led by Tony Jinotti say the black light trap draws bugs and a spark kills them, potentially covering up to one acre if adopted. He notes plans to buy more if successful. Farmers meanwhile report a 12 percent price increase over the past two decades, while overall farm prices have often declined or stayed the same.
