Thanks for your comments. You know there are ads these days for a bug
repelant that uses sound waves to catch bugs. The makers have letters from
customers claiming how great it is.
On the news shows it was revealed that the product does not work. However,
the media tonnage by the makers will reach more people than the message the
product does not work.So it really does not matter if the product works.
People will buy the product. When the University of Iowa investigated the
product they could find no scientific basis for the product.
I guess the old swat and slap method used since man crawled still works.
So what's the point.Caveat emptor
