Not for the faint of heart...

...because this infomercial is absolutely horrific.



AIEEEEEEEEEE!
Rats, and roaches, and mice, oh my!

When I watched this infomercial on TV a few moments ago, I was bringing food to my lips. Literally. And I had to stop because this commercial came on.

Did they REALLY find it necessary to show us hoardes of pests and RATS? A HUGE SWARM OF RATS? Followed by the words "...around your kids, pets, and FOOD?"

Thank you, makers of Riddex plus, for killing my appetite. (While you're at it, why don't you give me a paper cut and pour lemon juice on it?)

I think this infomercial is a little too effective. Instead of wanting to buy their product, I want to run shrieking from my dorm room and keep going until I can't run any more.

Did anyone notice how this whole infomercial keeps talking about exterminating bugs and getting rid of the bugs and not having to use the bug men?

Now, did anyone notice how they never specifically say that the Riddex Plus will get rid of rats and mice?

Yeah, me too.

  1. I tried one of these items. within 30 days i was ready to admit myself to a mental institution. i would sit outside and cry because i didnt want to go in my house. I thought it was because of the 8 inch scorpion i found in my bathroom and was badly unnerved by this. which is very unusual for me because i catch scorpions, poisioness spiders, tarantulas, sidewinder rattlesnakes all the time.
    I called doctors, institutions and everyone i could think of. I already have mental illness, and i have been shocked with electricity very badly, i was scared for my mind.
    My mom prayed for me, and then i just knew it was that riddex box. I unplugged it and within 24 hours i was back to normal, for me at least. i have been trying ever since to get ahold of the company with no luck.
    If only i had checked the internet first.
    there are many places that say it doesnt seem to work on anything but ants.
    but i have only seen one post about it bothering a person. i am still trying to find out more. i am still trying to find out more. be careful of all those products that have no customer support.
