I've been tolerant and polite so far, but we are being *spammed*. In Canada we have laws against false advertising and making unsubstantiated or outright false claims as these guys are. BEE-L accepts single one time postings of reasonable and honest (non-commercial) requests for buyers and sellers of relevant items -- posted occasionally -- with considerable restraint by the list members. The postings about this device does not qualify under several of those criteria. Beware. If you know anything about formic or bees, you can see there are misrepresentations in the ads being posted on BEE-L. The price? Well I can tell you where to buy pads for application in effective, approved methods that are recommended by well known and respected Canadian researchers for about $0.03 each. Frankly, if I see another SPAM here about that thing, I'm going to forward it directly to Consumer & Corporate Affairs, the department that deals with such. <flame thrower off> Regards Allen W.
