Could be clearer (had to enlarge it to notice the cockroach), message is quite irrelevant to me, cos I don't think that anybody plays tricks to fool pests, just spray them with some Super Ultra Raid or classically smash them with sandals :)

Unclear at many levels...idea could have been developed more strongly.
Also the image is very "Getty."

the cockroach should be placed somewhere else. but. the idea is quite funny, that someone would actually try to fool a pest by putting a different label.. hmm.

that someone would actually try to fool a pest by putting a different label.. is the most moronic thing I've ever heard in my short but not that short existence.

Unbelievable

This ad has won a gloden award. Many of you do not like this ad, but compared to the ads in the gulf region, this is really really good.

TBWA Creative team, Great Job you guys.

A Gloden Award? Never heard of that one before. Is that like what the Razzies are to the movie industry?
