I can prove what I say, whereas you can't prove that animal
territorial urine is useless to new mice/rats in the area...I say it is,
and
your smarter than all the animals in the world I guess heh.......sure you
are....
Universities are bound by the Grants they are given by "Approved
Organizations" and are not at liberty of revealing anything not sanctioned
by the $$$ the keeps them going......
There is oodles of non University approved sites, that may be about
10x more powerful as to what the quack department at the University has to
disclose.....
A scientific approach to this is rarely proof in the pudding as math
is not an exact science....chemistry changes in time...

Maybe you like the word Urine.....it seems that I don't I know what
micturation is....since I started Medical **** in 1969....and was blasting
the hell out of cl***** of graduate interns even in 1976.....
