Some of my gadgets actually seem to work!

I have 2 sonic spider repellers. One which emits a sound that spiders dont like (allegedly), and another which, as well as emitting sound, sends something round the electric wiring which they also dont like (allegedly).
I was desperately frustrated at the amount of time I was spending clearing cobwebs when I bought them, and that problem has now gone -no cobwebs for months now, BUT -yesterday- a tiny blighter descended from the ceiling onto my keyboard. I wonder if spiders can evolve to become deaf and so- immune.

Another gadget which I am sure works is my Goodsphere(s) - but they are costly to keep supplied with plant essences. If I manage to give up smoking I wont need them. They definately are effective at taking fag smells out of the air.

My latest gadget is a QLink pendant - had it 2 days now - This one is the most 'doubtful' gadgets I have bought, but I got it for £16, so not an enormous loss if it turns out to be 'snake oil'. It could be a placebo effect but I did notice yeserday that I didn't need an afternoon nap, and no longer felt exhaused most of the time (which had been bothering me). I am even considering completing the decoration of my bedroom ceiling which has been half white and half cream for 6 months now. I will let you know whether this energy (or is it just optimism) is maintained.

Have you any gadgets that you can recommend - you know - the sort that you dont expect to work but do?
Two very environmentally friendly "gadgets" that work on pesky mosquitos: A bat house and a Purple Martin feeder. The bats do tend to buzz you like miniature stukas, but they are harmless and do eat lots of moskies. And the Martins eat about 2.5 times their own weight in moskies every day. Two gadgets that I have had for ever are the K-Tell patti stacker, which forms hamburger patties and can be used to store them in the freezer, and the Pocket Fisherman which is a really neat fold-up fishing rod, with little compartments for lures and stuff. Otherwise I don't go for gadgets.
