Would you release 100 cockroaches in your home for $2K?

I think it goes without saying that nobody wants to share their home with a cockroach . . . let alone 100 of them . . . but could you handle it if you were getting PAID?

I already know what my answer would be . . . NEVER.

So here’s the scoop.  A company in North Carolina has an *exciting* offer:  If you allow them to come into your home . . . and release 100 cockroaches . . . they’ll give you a check for a whopping $2,000.

The company is called The Pest Informer, and they’re trying to test out “a specific pest control technique” and see how effective it is.  And they need volunteers.

My answer is still NO.

But if you’re still interested . . . Five to seven homeowners will be selected . . . and in addition to the infestation, you’ll also have to consent to filming and monitoring in your home.  You know, so they can track all the roaches.

The experiment lasts about 30 days . . . and The Pest Informer PROMISES that you’ll be rid of the roaches by the end.  If their new technique doesn’t work, then they’ll use “traditional cockroach treatment options at no cost to you.”

They didn’t describe the new technique, but they say it’s family and pet safe.

If you’re up for it, you can apply here.  Let me know if you do!
