RALEIGH, N.C. — A Raleigh, North Carolina-based exterminator is searching for families to receive $2,000 each if they are willing to welcome 100 special guests into their homes.
In a bid to test a “specific pest control technique,” The Pest Informer is looking for five to seven homeowners to participate in a small study to help the company “gauge how effective” their new treatment is, WDRB reported.
Per The Pest Informer, a traditional eradication method will be deployed at no cost to the household should the experimental treatment fail to eliminate the doomed houseguests within the 30-day period.
According to the application, available on ThePestInformer.com, households across the United States are eligible to participate, and as many as seven homes will be selected for the 30-day cockroach elimination trial, WRAL-TV reported.
Applicants must be U.S. residents; 21 or older; own their own home, or have written approval from the owner; provide permission to film the process; and agree to not use any other exterminator services throughout the 30-day test, WDRB reported.
The experimental treatment is billed by The Pest Informer as safe for both families and pets.
