Your Daily WTF: Pest Control
Posted by Ross Rosenberg
Congratulations to this Detroit-based pest control company for discovering what many have suspected for years, namely that nothing says “Allow me into your house to exterminate vermin.” like dressing up as a woman and singing a reworded version of “Banana Boat Song”, off-key, in front of a green screen while ironing. One must assume that the money is pouring in.

I chatted with Mr Harris after watching the ad. I guess the money is pouring in as he said the business turned around 100% after the ad. Maybe me calling from the UK helped get the Arbitron numbers.
Keeping with the pest theme, nothing sez pest removal like midget portrayals of Star Trek
