Verminators

[Deleted]

I haven't seen this one before. It ran last night on Discovery Channel after the new episode of "Dirty Jobs." WOW! The disgust factor is right up there with some of the filth on "How Clean is Your House?"! Cockroaches! Rats! Shudder!
Did anyone else catch it?

Blech. No! You couldn't pay me enough. I live in NY, I could just go outside on a steamy July evening and film my own show. shudder

I feel your pain, Clementine74: I have a repertoire of lively tales from a place I lived in college that was literally crawling with roaches (it wasn't very funny at the time.)
Verminators is filmed in Los Angeles. When I saw the previews for it on Discovery, I was hoping it might be about the Vexcon exterminators in New Orleans, who've been featured on Dirty Jobs. Ya gotta love goth exterminators! The Isotech folks featured on Verminators also seem passionate about their job, though. One thing I'm not at all comfortable with is the use of glue traps: they seem VERY inhumane! If you're going to kill the poor things, do it as quickly/painlessly as possible!
I won't go into too many gory details (although that really is a big part of the appeal, isn't it?) but I was simply gobsmacked by the roaches running through the baby's crib in the infested apartment.
