I looked into this last summer. The EPA, FDA, and patent numbers
were all fake. The stuff is overpriced and no research or testing has been
done. I ran a small experiment (35 colonies) and gave up because the
results were poor and I could'nt waste time on somthing that was'nt working.
I think Dr. Calderones work with Thymol is more promising.
