Households across the United States are eligible, according to the application at ThePestInformer.com. Up to seven homes will be selected for the 30-day cockroach eradication study, which the company says will be safe for family members and pets.
Get paid to live with cockroaches
The aim of the study is to determine how effective a new extermination treatment is. At the end of the 30-day period, if the new treatment did not work, the cockroach infection will be eliminated using traditional methods at no cost to the household, according to The Pest Informer. Applicants must be 21 years of age or older and have their own home (or have written approval from the owner). If selected, households will not be allowed to use other extermination services during the study. WRAL News contacted The Pest Informer to learn more 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.
