I had a fair amount of interest in the pepper based repellent products I
posted about yesterday. There is a Web site listed in the article -
www.medd4.com. It looks like this group owns the patent to the bonding
process and is trying to market it. There is information on the site about
the process and the research that was done. If someone is interested in
repelling a certain type of pest they might be able to find out some
information to see if capsaicin will affect whatever it is they are trying
to get rid of. Then they might try some type of pepper extract spray. In
fact I just had a thought. My father lives in Tucson, AZ and has real big
problems with pack rats. Nothing he has tried, and he has tried just about
everything, will stop them from nesting in cars and chewing up the wiring.
Maybe hot pepper spray will work! Where do I get some Backdraft? And I have
Maple Gall mites in my maples, maybe, just maybe.....
