FLEXPAYS.
FLEXPAYS. I HAVE A PRESSURE WASHER
AT HOME AND I LOVE THAT
DARN THING.
DARN THING. THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT
SEEING THAT CRUD ERASE.
ISN'T IT TRUE, LOU?
LOU IS MAKING THE SAME
FACE.
FACE.
FACE. COME IN, LOU.
THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT
WASHING THAT CRUD.
>> Guest: I LOVE IT.
I FEEL LIKE I'M ACTUALLY
DOING SOMETHING.
DOING SOMETHING. >> Host: THERE'S SUCH
SATISFACTION.
SATISFACTION. WE'VE GOT A PRESSURE
WASHER ON SALE FOR YOU.
LOU WILL TALK ABOUT THE
NEXT TWO ITEMS WITH
THIS.
THIS.
THIS. THIS IS A BIG DEAL.
WHEN DID WE LAUNCH THE
BELL AND HOWELL?
>> Guest: 10 YEARS AGO
PROBABLY.
PROBABLY.
PROBABLY. >> Host: I USE THIS AT
HOME.
HOME.
HOME. IT
HOME. IT HAS SOLVED SO MANY
PROBLEMS.
PROBLEMS.
PROBLEMS. I PLUG THEM IN AND DON'T
THINK ABOUT IT ANYMORE.
WE HAD RATS IN THE
WALLS, TOTALLY GROSS,
AND WE KEPT HAVING ANT
PROBLEMS IN OUR KITCHEN
AND WE WOULD TRY ALL
THESE POISONS.
THESE POISONS. I DIDN'T LIKE IT FOR MY
SON AND DEFINITELY
DIDN'T LIKE IT FOR MY
DOG.
DOG.
DOG. >>
DOG. >> Guest: THAT'S WHY
MOST PEOPLE GET THESE.
NUMBER ONE, YOU DON'T
WANT POISON AROUND THE
KIDS AND THE PETS AND
NUMBER TWO, YOU DON'T
WANT TO HAVE TO DEAL
WITH THE TRAPS BECAUSE
THERE'S A BODY LEFT AND
SOMEBODY HAS TO DEAL
WITH THAT.
WITH THAT. THE BELL AND HOWELL PEST
REPELLER ARE THE HUMANE
WAY TO GET RID OF THE
PESTS, RATS, MICE,
ROACHES, SPIDERS, ALL
THOSE.
THOSE.
THOSE. >>
THOSE. >> Host: WHICH IS
CRAZY.
CRAZY.
CRAZY. HOW DO YOU TRAP A
SPIDER?
SPIDER?
SPIDER? >> Guest: YOU CAN'T.
THAT'S THE THING.
THIS IS A 10-PACK.
IT'S THE LARGEST SET
WE'VE OFFERED IT.
HAS A LITTLE BIT OF
EVERYTHING IN HERE.
YOU'RE GETTING THREE OF
THE STANDARD ONES.
YOU'RE GETTING TWO WITH
THE EXTRA OUTLET.
YOU'RE GETTING ONE WITH
THE NIGHTLIGHT -- OH,
ACTUALLY THE ONE DOWN
HERE HAS THE NIGHTLIGHT
AND ONE THAT HAS THE
NIGHTLIGHT AND THE PLUGS
AND THEN YOU GET THREE
OF THE MICROS AND ONE OF
THOSE ALSO HATS A
NIGHTLIGHT BUILT INTO IT
AS WELL.
AS WELL.
AS WELL. >> Host: THEY ALL DO
THE SAME JOB.
>> Guest: REGARDLESS OF
SIZE THEY DO THE SAME
THING.
THING.
THING. THEY MAKE THE PESTS WANT
TO LEAVE YOUR HOUSE BY
USING ULTRASONIC SOUND
WAVES WHICH MEANS WE
CAN'T HEAR IT.
>> Host: NOR CAN YOUR
PETS.
PETS.
PETS. >>
PETS. >> Guest: BUT THE RATS
AND ROACHES AND ANTS AND
SPIDERS DO HEAR IT.
THE BEST ANALOGY I CAN
DRAW IS IF YOU EVER WALK
INTO YOUR HOUSE AND SET
OFF YOUR BURGLAR ALARM
AND STAND THERE AT THE
KEYPAD AND CAN'T
REMEMBER YOUR CODE.
YOU GET TO A POINT
YOU'RE LIKE I GOT TO GET
OUT OF HERE.
THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS.
THAT SOUND BECOMES
OVERBEARING AND THEY
HAVE TO LEAVE THE AREA.
WATCH THIS ANIMATION.
THERE'S ONE OF OUR
FRIENDS SITTING ON THE
COUNTERTOP THERE.
COUNTERTOP THERE. THE MINUTE THE PEST
REPELLERS GET PLUGGED
IN, THEY START EMITTING
THE SOUND WAVES.
THE SOUND BOUNCES OFF
ANY SOLID THING IN THE
ROOM, EVEN THE
FURNITURE, WHICH IS WHY
YOU DON'T WANT TO PUT IT
BEHIND THE FURNITURE.
THEY CAN'T TRAVEL
BETWEEN ROOMS, SO YOU
WANT TO HAVE THE TOTAL
COVERAGE.
COVERAGE.
COVERAGE. THAT'S THE BEAUTIFUL
THING ABOUT THE 10-PACK.
YOU'VE GOT PLENTY TO DO
ALL THAT.
ALL THAT.
ALL THAT. >> Host: YOU ALWAYS
WANT TO GET OUR 10-
PACKS.
PACKS.
PACKS. THIS IS NORMALLY 59.95.
AFTER THE SALE PRICE IS
OVER, WE CARRY THESE
YEAR-ROUND.
YEAR-ROUND. UNLESS THEY'RE SOLD OUT,
WE ALWAYS HAVE THEM IN
STOCK.
STOCK.
STOCK. RIGHT NOW YOU'RE $20
OFF.
OFF.
OFF. SO
OFF. SO IF YOU WANT TO ADD A
BUNCH MORE BECAUSE YOU
LOVE YOURS, THIS IS THE
PACK YOU WANT TO GO FOR.
I DO LIKE THE ONES WITH
THE OUTLET ON THE SIDE
BECAUSE YOU DON'T LOSE
AN OUTLET WHEN YOU HAVE
THAT IN THIS VARIETY
PACK.
PACK.
PACK. >>
PACK. >> Guest: YOU PICK UP
THE NIGHTLIGHT IN A LOT
OF THEM AS WELL.
THE NIGHTLIGHT THAT'S ON
THESE IS SELF-REGULATING
MEANING WHEN IT GETS
DARK, IT TURNS ON.
WHEN IT GETS LIGHT, THEY
TURN OFF.
TURN OFF.
TURN OFF. SO IT DOES IT
AUTOMATICALLY, SO AGAIN
NOTHING YOU HAVE TO DO.
THAT MIGHT BE MY
FAVORITE THING ABOUT
THESE PEST REPELLERS IS
THEY ARE TOTALLY SELF-
SUFFICIENT, NOTHING TO
DO OR NOTHING TO CLEAN.
IF YOU ARE ONE OF THE
PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT
STILL DOES THIS.
YOU GET A PEST PROBLEM.
YOU RUN TO THE STORE AND
BUY SOME ANT STUFF.
YOU GOT AN ANT STUFF.
THE PROBLEM WITH ALL
THIS STUFF IS IT'S A
NEVER ENDING CYCLE.
WHEN THIS WEARS OFF, THE
PESTS COME BACK.
YOU'LL USE MORE.
EVENTUALLY YOU'LL RUN
OUT AND HAVE TO BUY
MORE.
MORE.
MORE. THE
MORE. THE BIGGER PROBLEM IS
THAT THIS IS JUST FOR
ANTS.
ANTS.
ANTS. IF
ANTS. IF YOU GOT A ROACH
PROBLEM, GUESS WHAT?
NOW YOU GOT TO GO OUT
AND BUY MORE STUFF.
NOW YOU'RE GOING TO
SPEND EVEN MORE MONEY ON
ROACH STUFF.
ROACH STUFF. IF I TURN THIS CAN
AROUND HERE, YOU'LL SEE
WARNINGS, WARNINGS.
WARNINGS, WARNINGS. THIS IS BAD, HAZARDOUS,
FULL OF POISONS AND WHEN
IT RUNS OUT, YOU GOT TO
BUY MORE.
BUY MORE.
BUY MORE. THEY'LL COME BACK.
YOU'VE ALREADY GOT A
PROBLEM BY THE TIME YOU
GET TO THIS.
THIS IS THE WORST HERE.
THIS IS YOUR RAT AND
MOUSE POISONS, TRAPS AND
ALL THE DIFFERENT
THINGS.
THINGS.
THINGS. THIS STUFF IS NOT JUST
BAD FOR THE RATS AND
MICE.
MICE.
MICE. ITS
MICE. ITS BAD FOR YOUR CATS
AND KIDS.
AND KIDS.
AND KIDS. >> Host: IT LOOKS JUST
LIKE CANDY.
LIKE CANDY. >> Guest: IT LOOKS JUST
LIKE MY DOG'S FAVORITE
CHEW TOYS, SO I DON'T
WANT THAT AROUND.
WE WERE TALKING ABOUT
EARLIER WHEN A PEST DIES
FROM THIS, IT'S
HORRIBLE.
HORRIBLE.
HORRIBLE. IT'S VERY CRUEL, TAKES A
COUPLE DAYS TO DO AND
WHEN IT DOES, THEY DON'T
COME OUT IN THE MIDDLE
OF YOUR LIVING ROOM
FLOOR.
FLOOR.
FLOOR. >>
FLOOR. >> Host: THEY'RE IN
YOUR WALLS.
YOUR WALLS. >> Guest: THE SMELL IS
HORRIBLE.
HORRIBLE.
HORRIBLE. THE BELL AND HOWELL PEST
REPELLERS TAKE CARE OF
RATS AND MICE, ANTS,
ROACHES AND SPIDERS AND
BE THERE IS NOTHING YOU
CAN DO FOR SPIDERS
EXCEPT MAYBE A ROLLED UP
NEWSPAPER OR YOU CAN --
>> Host: SCREAM LIKE A
GIRL AND RUN.
>> Guest: OUR PEST
REPELLERS WILL TAKE CARE
OF ALL THOSE.
PEOPLE ASK ME WHY DO YOU
ONLY SAY THE FIVE
THINGS?
THINGS?
THINGS? >> Host: EXPLAIN THOSE
ARE SCIENTIFICALLY
ARE SCIENTIFICALLY PROVEN.
PROVEN.
PROVEN. THAT'S NOT LOU SAYING
OH, JUST PICK FIVE
LITTLE PESTS YOU DON'T
LIKE.
LIKE.
LIKE. >>
LIKE. >> Guest: NO.
I DON'T DO THAT.
THIS IS SPECIFICALLY
THIRD-PARTY LABORATORY
THIRD-PARTY LABORATORY TESTED.
TESTED.
TESTED. IT'S CRAZY EXPENSIVE FOR
THESE TESTS, NUMBER ONE,
SO THEY SAID LET'S DO
THE FIVE THINGS MOST
PEOPLE WILL HAVE
PROBLEMS WITH.
PROBLEMS WITH. THAT'S WHY WE WENT WITH
THESE.
THESE.
THESE. >>
THESE. >> Host: RIGHT.
>> Guest: I HAVE A NEW
ROACH STORY.
ROACH STORY. >> Host: THEN I WILL
TELL YOU MY RAT STORY.
>> Guest: ABOUT THREE
WEEKS AGO, FOUR WEEKS
AGO NOW MAYBE WE HAD
SOME COMPANY STAY AT MY
HOUSE IN THE GUEST
BEDROOM.
BEDROOM.
BEDROOM. WE DON'T GO IN THERE
WHEN THEY'RE IN THERE.
THEY LEAVE.
THEY LEAVE. I GO IN THERE ONE DAY
AND START HEARING A
NOISE FROM THE BATHROOM
SINK.
SINK.
SINK. I
SINK. I WALK OVER AND LOOK IN
THE SINK.
THE SINK.
THE SINK. I DON'T SEE ANYTHING.
I'M LIKE THAT WAS WEIRD.
THEN I HEAR THE NOISE
AGAIN.
AGAIN.
AGAIN. I'M LOOKING FURTHER.
IN DO YOU KNOW WHERE THE
RUNOFF IS AT THE TOP OF
IF THE SINK, NOT THE
DRAIN, BUT THE RUNOFF ON
THE SIDE SO IT WON'T
OVERFLOW.
OVERFLOW.
OVERFLOW. I LOOK IN THE LITTLE
HOLE AND I SEE A LITTLE
ANTENNA COME OUT OF THAT
HOLE.
HOLE.
HOLE. OH,
HOLE. OH, YEAH.
OH, YEAH.
OH, YEAH. THERE WAS LIKE THREE I
COULD SEE INSIDE,
ROACHES.
ROACHES.
ROACHES. I'M THINKING TO MYSELF
WHY ISN'T MY PEST
REPELLER WORKING?
REPELLER WORKING? I LOOK AT THE WALL.
SOMEONE HAD UNPLUGGED IT
PROBABLY TO PLUG IN
THEIR CURLING IRON.
IT WAS SITTING THERE ON
THE COUNTERTOP.
THE COUNTERTOP. I TOOK A WINE CORK,
WEIRD WE HAD A WINE CORK
SITTING AROUND.
SITTING AROUND. I DON'T KNOW WHY.
I STUCK IT IN THERE AND
I PUT THE PEST REPELLER
IN.
IN.
IN. THREE
IN. THREE DAYS LATER I WENT
BACK, CHECKED, TOOK THE
CORK OUT, GONE.
IT WAS SO WEIRD BECAUSE
FIRST OF ALL, THEY HAVE
TO HAVE POWER TO WORK.
JUST PLUG THEM IN.
THAT'S ALL WE HAVE TO
DO, PLUG THEM IN AND
DON'T UNPLUG THEM.
>> Host: THAT'S THE KEY
TO THE STORY, LEAVE IT
PLUGGED IN.
PLUGGED IN. THIS IS MY $400 RAT
STORY.
STORY.
STORY. IT'S HORRIBLE.
IT'S HORRIBLE. WE HAD RATS IN OUR WALL
AND THIS ONE DETERMINED
RAT DECIDED IT WAS GOING
TO CHEW THROUGH PART OF
MY COUNTER AND IT
STARTED CHEWING THE
PLASTIC UNDERNEATH MY
DISHWASHER, THE TUB
UNDERNEATH.
UNDERNEATH. SO WE'RE LIKE MAN, THE
DISHWASHER IS NOT
WORKING ANYMORE.
WORKING ANYMORE. WHAT HAPPENED?
WHAT HAPPENED? WE CALLED A REPAIRMAN.
HE PULLS THAT BABY OUT
AND HE SAID A RAT HAS
CHEWED THIS UP WHICH
MEANT WE HAD TO
COMPLETELY REPLACE THE
DISHWASHER.
DISHWASHER. IT HAD DESTROYED THE
BOTTOM OF THE DISH WASH
WE WASHER.
WE WASHER. SO OUR NEXT MOVE WAS WE
HAVE TO BUY ANOTHER ONE.
$400 LATER PLUG THE DARN
THINGS IN.
THINGS IN. I HAVE SEVERAL OTHER
STORIES.
STORIES.
STORIES. THE FUNNY PART IS I
FORGET I HAD A PROBLEM
BECAUSE THEY SILENTLY
WORK AND YOU DON'T
REMEMBER THAT YOU HAD
THE PROBLEM IN THE FIRST
PLACE AFTER A WHILE.
>> Guest: RIGHT, RIGHT.
>> Host: MINE ARE STILL
GOING STRONG.
GOING STRONG. >> Guest: PEOPLE SAY TO
ME -- PEOPLE SEE THESE
IN MY WALLS AND THINK I
HAVE A PEST PROBLEM.
LET ME ASK YOU A
PROBLEM.
PROBLEM.
PROBLEM. WHICH ONE SAYS PEST
PROBLEM?
PROBLEM?
PROBLEM? IS IT THIS GUY OR THIS
GUY?
GUY?
GUY? >>
GUY? >> Host: THAT KIND OF
LOOKS LIKE A SPEAKER.
>> Guest: IF YOU SEE
THIS AT SOMEBODY'S
HOUSE, THEY'RE BEING
PROACTIVE STOPPING THE
PROBLEM BEFORE IT
HAPPENS.
HAPPENS.
HAPPENS. YOU SEE THIS, IT'S
REACTIVE.
REACTIVE.
REACTIVE. IT'S PANIC TIME.

TO STAY THERE.
>> Guest: I KNOW THERE
ARE PEOPLE STILL
DOUBTING WHAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT AND I
DON'T BLAME YOU.
I'M GOING TO SHOW YOU A
TRICK.
TRICK.
TRICK. THIS IS AN ULTRASONIC
LEAK DETECTOR USED TO
FIND LEAKS IN
REFRIGERATION LINES OR
GAS LINES.
GAS LINES. LITTLE PINHOLE LEAKS

PRESSURE AND IT MAKES AN
ULTRASONIC SOUND.
ULTRASONIC SOUND. I'M GOING AROUND TO THE
FRONT OF THE TABLE WHERE

LISTENING. THERE'S A LITTLE RED
L.E.D.
L.E.D.
L.E.D. ON

ITSELF.
ITSELF.
ITSELF. EVERY TIME THAT LIGHTS
UP IT'S EMITTING AN
ULTRASONIC PULSE.
ULTRASONIC PULSE. IF I PUT THIS NEXT TO
IT, EVERY TIME YOU SEE
THE L.E.D.
THE L.E.D. THERE, YOU'LL SEE A RED
BOUNCE.
BOUNCE.
BOUNCE. THAT'S SAYING IT'S
EMITTING A SOUND WAVE.
>> Host: I USED TO COME
HOME LATE AT NIGHT
BECAUSE OF MY CRAZY
HOURS AND I WOULD HEAR
THE RATS IN THE WALLS.
I HAVEN'T HEARD IT FOR
YEARS.
YEARS.
YEARS. THE LITTLE ANTS AT MY
BACKDOOR HAVEN'T BEEN
THERE AND I HAD ANTS
OVER MY SINK THAT CAME
IN ANOTHER WINDOW.
THERE WAS EVERY YEAR
THAT TRADITIONAL TRAIL
OF ANTS.
OF ANTS.

IT COULDN'T BE SIMPLER.
