Electromagnetic Cockroach Expeller Could Change Your Life -- Or Can It?

by Christine Whitney on June 9, 2008 at 09:02 AM


Oh please, let it work! We've stopped cooking at home due to this very problem. The exterminator came and went and the cockroaches remain. We don't even bother with the 'Raid' anymore.

But maybe there's hope? A $25 gadget that uses flashing lights, like our favorite Kanye song, promises to drive the home-wrecking bugs away for-ev-er. The Extra Electromagnetic Cockroach Expeller just plugs into regular outlets and scares roaches off, so you don't even have to deal with corpses. We want to believe in this, though the corporate Web site Gadget.brando.com.hk is less than reassuring:

"Headache with the Cockroach!? No Poisons, No Trap, No Dead Pest Cleanup...uses in Homes, Apartments, and Food service Outlets."


And aren't those roaches in the photo made out of plastic? [Source: Gadget.brando.hk, via Geeksugar]
