"Company Offers $2,500 to Infest Homes with Cockroaches"

A pest control company in North Carolina is offering $2,500 to homeowners who are willing to allow technicians to release approximately 100 cockroaches into their homes for a 30-day study on pest control techniques. Participants must reside in their homes during this period and cannot use other pest control methods. The company assures that traditional treatment options will be used if the new technique fails. Interested homeowners have until December 31 to apply, and the selected household will be contacted in early 2024.
