Saw this last week .... don't care for roaches. Nice theme, but I couldn't hang around. LOL.

Not sure I understand what the roaches are for. I do like the theme of the site, but in business, if it's not selling, it's not something that's needed. I couldn't click the roaches so they just seemed to be a distraction more than anything.

I like the style of the site though - nice approach.

Me either. Might be something to see them on a restaurant's website.

Guys you obviously do not understand the concept of being fully dedicated to your marketing idea!!

Hellooo! The business has a motel-like theme, a common place to see/meet a roach or two. They just thought - heck, why not give them the full experience...

While a bit disgusting for sure, I thought it was actually an original presentation, and I loved the "room service" button (live support). Btw, you can turn those roaches off with a switch next to this button.

I thought it was a nice site, and I understood the concept of the roaches running etc, but it would have been nice to have turned the cursor into a box of Arm & Hammer and let me smash them on the screen or something.

Oh, and I've never been to a motel with a roach - ever - but I understand the story or meaning behind it. Just personally didn't appeal to me.

Oh right!! I just got that! Not bad. And it actually makes sense as well.

I wasn't too impressed with it to be honest. I've seen better. Can't think of any at the moment, but if I remember, I will surely post.
The best thing about it is the phrase: This site is a drag.

Didn't care for the ericj.se site. Didn't really seem to be interactive other than scrolling.

"only bugs are the roaches" - I like the spin on that - didn't even notice it.
