A report claimed a Raleigh-based exterminator will pay a family $2,000 for the chance to release 100 cockroaches in their home.

WRAL News worked to confirm this information, including calling a phone number provided, reaching out via email and ringing the bell at the address listed, but was unable to contact the company to verify this offer.

ThePestInformer.com is taking applications for up to seven homes to participate in a 30-day cockroach elimination study, which the company said will be safe for family members and pets.

The purpose 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 didn't work, the cockroach infestation will be eliminated using traditional methods at no cost to the household, according to The Pest Informer.

Applicants must be 21 or older and own their home (or have written approval from the owner).

If selected, households will not be permitted to use other exterminator services during the study.

According to the company website, The Pest Informer was founded in 1994 with a goal of keeping pest control safe for humans and animals.
