The website is running; albeit minus the details on the sub-pages. It should be complete pretty soon.

I picked up a new proto today of the drop-mosquito. It's badass, I'll post pictures later.

Obviously didnt do enough testing as he now is changing his formula AGAIN. The customer service is crap too it takes forever to get a response. Yes hes a busy busy guy with limited staff and resources but cmon theres a limit. I'd be very cautious of the new products. I respect him and his business and would love to buy another insect board, but only if all this stuff gets resolved...
