She's just one women, doing this for free working 18 hours a day. A hero in my eyes.

How long before Corporate Canada gets ahold of this idea and charges through the nose for it? Hopefully she will patent her idea and chemical compound and be rewarded for her expertise.

Where is a link to contact this woman for traps?

How can someone get ahold of this person. I am not in her area but I would like to try her idea.

Why not a web address or where to contact ... would be nice to save some trees or does nut Canada care ?
