> "Luke, you bottle that, you're a millionaire." Or you get assassinated by Big Mosquito Repellent. I wouldn't mess with those people. Stick to inventing a cheap carbon-negative replacement for gasoline. Far fewer people angry at you upsetting the apple cart.

Fewer? Perhaps. But the depth of those pockets are 100× Big Mosquito Repellent. Put another way, we've been going to war over oil for years. One more body on that pile isn't difficult to imagine.

  I think the previous comment was being sarcastic. And sort of making a joke that whatever you go after, you're going to upset some big corp somewhere.

The little permetherin pads that OFF sells are the best things anywhere. I used to live in a suburb of New Orleans surrounded by swamps, and those things drive mosquitos away. Vastly better than mosquito coils and reusable... just dip them in more permetherin solution and they'll last for another 4 hours. Someone needs to come up with a system that involves a rechargable battery pack and a tiny heating element along with a little kit for redipping and storage. Sportsmen everywhere would love that product.
