Rayn - All Natural Anti-Pest Forcefield
A natural alternative to pest prevention that keeps insects out and good vibes in.

Project Description
Rayn provides a safe, all-natural, effective, and ethical alternative to pest-control. Our forcefields are made with attar essential oils, natural pest repellents that have been shown to be up to 99% effective in repelling pests like roaches and ants. Often, modern insecticides use chemicals that have proven carcinogenic effects, not to mention their strong unpleasant smell and fatal effects on animals. Rayn forcefields ensure that no pests will ever enter the area you place them in - simply replace the diffuser pads, place, and control your space.
The global pest control industry is $20.6 billion dollars - we believe, starting with urban apartments, Rayn can become a singificant player in the market. To acheive this, we want to create the best product possible: funding will primarily go into research and manufacturing, allowing us to test the efficacy of our products on a wider scale. While we have had many anecdotal successes, we want to be able to quantify the merits of Rayn. Each "forcefield" is currently constructed by hand, with our 3D models printed in the Columbia Makerspace. Our team consists of Samia Menon (CEO), an undergraduate at Columbia University studying Computer Science and Anthropology, and Julia Cobb (CMO), a recent graduate from Columbia University with a B.A. in Philosophy.
Thank you so much for learning a little more about Rayn! We are confident that our forcefields have the power to revolutionize apartment living and bring a feeling of luxury into pest-control. We are extremely grateful for every dollar of investment, and we cannot wait to bring this pest-protector to people everywhere.

The Campaign FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions:
- Does Rayn have any other uses?
- Yes! Early users have used it for anything from keeping a shared shower fresh to making their desk smell like lavender.
- Is the smell strong?
- No - the smell is subtle to humans, but is a negative signal to the nervous system of pests like ants and roaches.
- How long does it last?
- We recommend changing the diffuser pads once every two weeks for maximum efficacy, but we have had reports of one pad lasting for months.
- Is it as effective as Raid?
- Rayn works differently than Raid. Raid uses a strong concentration of chemicals aimed at exterminating pests. Rayn, however, is very effective in repelling pests from a certain space.
