Dust Buster Double Duty

Some RVers say that an item should serve two purposes if its going into the motorhome. I'm not sure we've done a good job at that! The handheld Dust Buster vacuum is one such item. When Rick said we needed a battery powered, rechargeable vacuum I wholeheartedly agreed, knowing that he likes to keep the floor dirt-free and he'd be using it often. But it also serves a second purpose! The Dust Buster also does double duty as a Bug Vac. It's very easy to vacuum those blood-thirsty mosquitoes that somehow follow us into the motorhome! The teeny-tiny midges (gnats) are attracted to the lights and can get through the window screens. These are also easily sucked up by the Bug Buster.

Have I mentioned that there are a bazillion mosquitoes in Montana and most of them like to hang out on our window screens while we are inside? Did you know that only the female mosquitoes bite you for your blood so they can nourish their eggs?

  1. Actually, yah, I'm aware of mosquitos... darn Capt. Cook!! Him and his rotten water barrels bringing mosquitos to Hawaii. And despite James Michener's novel of the same name... we all know who is responsible for flies being there, too.

    Which reminds me, I need to get a tube of off spf 15...

    I miss Great Falls, still. We lived in 932 E 12th SW I think. Been about 23 years or so. It was lovely, and our extended honeymoon, I think. I remember the huge rhubarb bushes and our landlady discussing that they don't mention how lovely Montana is in the summer to keep all those lowlanders out. :-)
