Well, like it or not, the dense humanity is there & will be there for a long, long time. So how does your little propaganda spiel help?

But the per-unit price would like drop once production got going and a small solar panel/battery seems likely to be enough to provide it with power. Of course, then you would have the problem of people stealing the solar panel/battery unit . . . But for zapping mosquitoes/gnats on your porch/patio, it appears as if it would work just fine. Hey! Maybe they could sell them for commercial use, then use the income to install them for anti-malaria use. E.g., the Newman's Own Profit Model. :) -- Richard Aiken "Never insult anyone by accident."
