Every church has 'em ... they await the altar call and then make a mad dash for the foyer, restroom area or other gathering place ... Apostolic teens who would rather loiter than get prayed thru!!!
Now ... every pastor has the solution. It's called the Mosquito Teen Repellent.
Read the following article from NPR.org to learn more ....

Teens Turn 'Repeller' into Adult-Proof Ringtone
May 26, 2006 · The war between teens and authority figures has a new, or old ... front: ears.
British shopkeepers tired of teenage loiterers have turned to the Mosquito teen repellent, which emits a high-pitch frequency that most teenagers can hear ... but not most adults.
But now teens have struck back against the Mosquito: They are using the same sound to communicate without adults' knowledge.
At issue is a text-message ringtone that emits the same pitch as the Mosquito. Using it, students can learn about a new message while they're in class ...where they're not supposed to be using their cellphones. Most of their teachers can't hear the alert.
Inventor Howard Stapleton, creator of the Mosquito teen repellent, says only a few people over age 30 can hear the Mosquito's sound. He and his 16-year-old daughter Isabel talk to Melissa Block about the sound, which has been dubbed "Teen Buzz."

If you can't hear it, Bro. Epley, you're getting there!!!!!!!!!!

Imagine the possibilities .. just install these bad boys in trouble spots .... Imagine the revival among our youth if they had to stay in the sanctuary.
Or they can continue to text message their friends while you're preaching.
P.S.
I can hear the ringtone ... apparently only the young bucks would be able to hear the real repellent.!!!!!!!!
