Woman catches 4 million skeeters
By QMI Agency

A Taiwanese woman just might be the world's top exterminator after catching three-and-a-half pounds worth of mosquitoes in a month.

The Telegraph reports that Huang Yuyen from the Yunlin county in southern Taiwan easily beat out 72 other contestants in a contest organized by an insect trap-making company to see who could capture the most mosquitoes. The second-place winner's haul was less than half of what Huang had.

Imbictus International, the company behind the contest, is requesting that Huang's efforts be recognized by Guinness World Records.
