A Raleigh exterminator will pay a family $ 2,000 for the opportunity to release 100 cockroaches into their home.
Homes in the United States are eligible, according to the application at ThePestInformer.com. Up to seven homes will be selected for the 30-day cockroach removal study, which the company said will be safe for family members and pets.
Pay to live with cockroaches
The aim of the study is to determine the effectiveness of a new extermination treatment.
At the end of the 30-day period, if the new treatment did not work, cockroach infestation will be eliminated by traditional methods at no cost to the home, according to The Pest Informer.
Applicants must be 21 years of age or older and own their home (or have the written approval of the homeowner).
If selected, households will not be able to use other exterminator services during the study.
WRAL News has contacted The Pest Informer for more information about the study.
According to the company’s website, The Pest Informer was founded in 1994 with the goal of keeping pest control safe for humans and animals.
