What inspired you to launch your own website?
I have developed Rataway for my air conditioning company. www.aircontrolcompany.com to stop Rats,mice,squirrels,raccoons, from chewing on the wiring & nesting. I have tested the product over 5 years.There are a of problems all over the world with chewing. I use the Rataway every day. I wanted a product the is safe for all pets,children,service personal etc.
When did you launch your first website, and what was it?
I put the web site up in late September 2007 http://www.Rataway.com is a non-poisonious spray to stop rats,mice,woodpeckers,raccoons,horses,squirrels, from chewing on cars,air conditioning equip, elect & cable lines,wiring in cars, motor homes, heavy equipment, boats,etc... Safe around children,pets,service personal
How did you decide on a name for your website?
I already was using the name Rataway as a product name. The name Rataway.com was available as a web site. I feel I was very lucky that the name was available. The name Rataway and the web site are the same name. Which will make the product and the web site easy to remember.
What makes it different from other, similar offerings?
Here are two answers to rats chewing wiring on cars. 1. Dust engine with critter powder & place moth balls in engine compartment. Here is what will happen you cannot get critter powder in all the small places and how long will the moth balls last. 2. If you spray Rataway on the engine you are putting the product on the very thing you are trying to protect "The wire, hoses & insulation" I developed it and have used it for 5 years protecting heating & air conditioning equipment. Rataway Will bind to the insulation, hoses, and wire. I have been the heating & air business 40 years and fighting the rat problem that long. www.aircontrolcompany.com before I put Rataway on the market we tested it on many rodents, and animals. It has worked well please go to www.Rataway.com I want to help all of you. Please understand the following statement. All of the following products are good except for one thing. On the way to the moth balls, critter power, glue traps, traps, zappers, poison etc... THE RAT STOPPED AND CHEWED THE WIRING and most of the time there are manny rats. I have seen everything I talked about in attics, furnace rooms etc and the chewing goes on and on and on. I will fight the rats & mice as long as I stay in business. I am not trying to brag up Rataway I just know it works. Rick
What is your eventual goal? (To sell it, keep it for income, secure a book or other mainstream media deal?)

How does your investment of time and money balance against your success?
Time will tell. The rat, mice,raccoon,dog, puppy, horse chewing problem will never go away. So, I know the product works, we just have to tell the successful story everyday. If you help someone solve a problem you have made a friend. If I am successful in helping people then Rataway is successful.
