There was a great deal of talk about that product at the AIS convention,
most of which was scoffing at it.

I was told by Jan Hudson (AIS Treasurer) that the formulation was no
different than when it was first introduced 40-50 years ago. He also
said that you can get the same formulation (or active ingredients I am
not sure which) much more cheaply in some of the dog and cat repellent products.
