G. “1. HOW DOES IT WORK? Pest-A-Cator is NOT an ultrasonic product. It works with the electrical wiring in your home. The electrical wiring inside your home already has an existing field surrounding it. Pest-A-Cator, when plugged in, pulses this field. It doesn’t really add to or take away from the field, just pulses it. Rats, mice, and cockroaches like to live and nest inside the walls. They feel this and don’t like it and it drives them out. This means that if there is an infestation of rats, mice or roaches, the consumer WILL see more during the first four weeks or so, because it is driving them out of the walls. We recommend using traps, glue boards, etc. the first few weeks to help clean up the initial problem. . . .

6. WHAT IS IT GUARANTEED TO WORK ON? Rats, Mice and Cockroaches ONLY! Consumer testimonials state that it works on ants, spiders, crickets, etc., but we do NOT guarantee it to work on these pests. . . .

8. WILL I EVER SEE A PEST AFTER PLUGGING IN THE PEST-A-CATOR? Consumers may still see an occasional rat, mouse or cockroach that has wandered in, but they will not stay and take up residency in the home after a Pest-A-Cator is plugged in. If they can, they will leave the same way they came in.”(www.global-instruments.com/faq.html) (6/5/02) [Exhibit E]

**Dear Global Instruments,** Well, the results are great, and I'm glad to say the PEST-A-CATOR is everything you said it was. I have two dogs, and I was having a terrible flea problem. I used flea collars, sprays, powders, and bombs, but nothing worked. I was about to give up when I saw your ad. I ordered a PEST-A-CATOR and within a week, the fleas were gone. I haven't seen a flea since. I'm very happy with your product and I would recommend it to anyone. Thank you for making such a great product.

Does this story sound familiar? Believe it or not, there are hundreds more like it and now there's a happy ending just waiting for you!

**Introducing:** # PEST-A-CATOR® Imagine fingernails on the blackboard 24 hours a day! Well, that kind of irritation is the theory behind the PEST-A-CATOR pest control device from Global Instruments. This is not one of those "sonic" noise machines. They only work in one room at a time! Pest-A-Cator uses the house's existing wiring to turn the whole place into one huge pest-irritating machine which forces pests (mice, rats, roaches) to leave the premises.

Pest-A-Cator is the alternative to these harmful or hazardous chemicals, pesticides and insecticides which can harm children, family pets, the environment and more. And what about the exterminator company that visits every month? Do you know exactly what that chemical is they're spraying around the house and what's it doing to your family?

---

**What's your goal when choosing between electronic pest control products?** Your optimum goal for an electronic pest control device is to eliminate the problem. Pest control problems are eliminated when the solution strikes at the nesting areas, which are in the walls, cabinets and under the sinks.

Pest-A-Cator was designed to send a pulsating signal throughout the wiring of the home annoying insects, and rodents, driving them from behind the walls, out of cabinets and from under sinks where they hide and nest.

You may be enticed to purchase one of the lower priced traditional ultrasonic products. These devices manage a variety of products? room at a time and the sound wave bounces off hard surfaces (see comparison below). The areas must be obstruction free to be completely effective. What does this mean? It means that the product will be the most effective when there isn't any furniture or anything else that will deter the signal. It also means that if you have a problem in hidden spaces, ultrasonic sound waves will not reach these infested areas at all.

This is where your happy ending starts! A single Pest-A-Cator will aid in ridding most standard 2,000 sq. ft. areas of mice, rats and roaches, all with 24 weeks and all without the aid of chemicals and the need for costly exterminators. The unit sends a pulsating signal throughout the wiring of the home annoying insects, and rodents, driving them from behind the walls, out of cabinets and from under sinks where they hide and nest.

Just plug the Pest-A-Cator into any 110V outlet and let it work-24 hours a day, 365 days a year. The cost is less than a 4-watt night light and it won't affect computers, T.V.'s or other appliances. It is recommended that multiple units be used in multiple story structures and areas that are larger than the specified Pest-A-Cator unit.

A single *Pest-A-Cator* unit will aid in ridding most standard 2,000 square foot areas of mice, rats and roaches within 2-4 weeks. The unique activity sends a pulsating signal throughout the wiring of homes, businesses and other structures. This silent pulse annoys insects and rodents, driving them out from behind walls, floors and ceilings where they hide and nest.

Just plug the *Pest-A-Cator* into any 110 outlet and let it go to work. One unit is all that is required for an average home up to 2,000 square feet. Additional units are needed for excess of 2,000 square feet or multiple story structures. The unique activity will not affect computers, telephones or other home appliances.

*Safe for all pets except hamsters, gerbils and other rodent pets.

* Chemical Free! * Safe for Pets * Protects up to 2,000 square feet * User Friendly * Clean and Maintenance Free * Reduces monthly pest control visits. * Tested by the U.S. Navy and in public housing facilities. * U.L. Listed Safe

COMPARE

The Pest-A-Cator works behind walls, floors and ceilings where pests hide and nest. Only one unit is needed per 2,000 square feet.

1. Ultrasonic products manage one room at a time. 2. Rooms must be obstruction free.

3. Ultrasonics will not penetrate walls, floors, ceilings or furniture or go around corners.

The Pest-A-Cator sends a pulsating signal through your entire home causing pests to leave the premises within 2 - 4 weeks.

Ultrasonic products have a sound wave that only annoys pests and drives them into hiding still within your house. More of an "out of sight, out of mind" mentality.

The Pest-A-Cator is cost effective. A 1,500 square foot, 8 room house will cost a consumer the price of one unit.

Ultrasonic products in a 1,500 square foot house with 8 rooms would cost a consumer approximately $200.00 (average $25.00 per unit).

**Pest-A-Cator Plus - The best of both worlds!**

Pest-A-Cator Plus products are the best of both worlds! Why? Because it has two technologies integrated into one product that's effective in repelling pests from the entire home. Pulse or electro-magnetic technology works through the household wiring to upset nesting sites of mice, rats and roaches within walls, ceilings and floors. Ultrasonic technology controls a variety of pests (rodents, insects, spiders, bats, etc.) in open areas that have a high rate of visual activity. Although the product won't harm standard household pets, it's strongly recommended not to be used around rodent and spider pets.

Pest-A-Cator Plus and Pest-A-Cator Tool Plus products are great to use in homes, office buildings, schools, restaurants, hospitals, etc.

Exhibit E

http://www.global-instruments.com/faq.html 6/5/2002

Global Instruments : FAQ Page 2 of 6

**1. HOW DOES IT WORK?**

Pest-A-Cator is NOT an ultrasonic product. It works with the electrical wiring in your home. The electrical wiring inside your home already has an existing field surrounding it. Pest-A-Cator, when plugged in, pulses this field. It doesn't really add to or take away from the field, just pulses it. Rats, mice, and cockroaches like to live and nest inside the walls. They feel this and don't like it and it drives them out. This means that if there is an infestation of rats, mice or roaches, the consumer WILL see more during the first four weeks or so, because it is driving them out of the walls. We recommend using traps, glue boards, etc. the first few weeks to help clean up the initial problem.

**2. WHERE SHOULD I PLUG IT IN?**

We recommend plugging the unit into an outlet in a central location for a single level home of 2000 square feet or less (1000 square feet for Pest-A-Cator Too). If the home is single level and over 2000 square feet we recommend plugging a unit in at both ends of the home. For a multiple level home, please see Question #3. Since the unit is not an ultrasonic, it doesn't make any difference if the unit is plugged in behind furniture or curtains, etc. The unit only works where there is electrical wiring. For example, on a main floor of an average home, there is electrical wiring traveling throughout the walls of that level. The Pest-A-Cator would work fine. But, in an attic, or basement level, where the wiring may be concentrated in one area, say on the south end, and little or no wiring is on the north end, Pest-A-Cator would not be as effective on that level. Also, if a house is vacant or not always in use, the unit will not be as effective because the use of electrical appliances, lights, etc. is what creates the field that the unit works with. If no electricity is being used, the unit has nothing to work with.

**3. HOW MANY ARE NEEDED?**

One unit covers up to 2,000 square feet (1000 square feet for Pest-A-Cator Too) in an average home. If the home has multiple levels, we recommend one per level and to plug them in at opposite ends of the home in a staggered effect (i.e.: two levels - one plugged in on the first floor at the north end, second unit plugged in on the second floor at the south end. Or 3 levels - first on first floor north end, second on second floor at south end, third unit on third floor at north end). If too many units are plugged into a small area (i.e.: one level less than 2000 square feet) they can interfere with each other and not be as effective.

http://www.global-instruments.com/faq.html 6/5/2002

Global Instruments : FAQ Page 3 of 6

4. WILL IT HARM PETS?

We do not recommend using the unit if you have pets that are from the rodent family, such as hamsters, gerbils, rabbits etc. It will not effect birds, cats, dogs, and fish.

5. WILL IT CAUSE PROBLEMS WITH COMPUTERS OR OTHER ELECTRICAL APPLIANCES?

No.

6. WHAT IS IT GUARANTEED TO WORK ON?

Rats, Mice and Cockroaches ONLY! Consumer testimonials state that it works on ants, spiders, crickets, etc., but we do NOT guarantee it to work on these pests.

7. CAN I USE THE UNIT OUTSIDE?

No. The unit is not recommended for use outside such as on patios, courtyards, etc. Also, it wouldn't work in such an area because electrical wiring does not surround it and the unit was not designed for outdoor use.

8. WILL I EVER SEE A PEST AFTER PLUGGING IN THE PEST-A-CATOR?

Consumers may still see an occasional rat, mouse or cockroach that has wandered in, but they will not stay and take up residency in the home after a Pest-A-Cator is plugged in. If they can, they will leave the same way they came in.

9. WHAT IS THE LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THE UNIT AND HOW CAN I TELL IF IT IS NO LONGER WORKING?

The AVERAGE life of a unit is 3 to 5 years. If the red light is no longer flashing (either completely out or a steady light) the unit is not working. Check light first. If light is flashing, but the consumer is having problems with rats, mice or cockroaches, try checking the unit for a vibration or "pull" using a metal screwdriver. Hold the tip of the screwdriver against the unit while the unit is plugged in. The unit cycles "on" for four minutes and "off" for two minutes. If no vibration or "pull" is felt when first testing the unit, wait a couple of minutes and try again as it may be in the "off" cycle. If, after waiting a couple of minutes and testing again there is still no vibration or "pull" the unit is no longer functioning.

http://www.global-instruments.com/faq.html 6/5/2002

Global Instruments : FAQ Page 4 of 6

10. WHAT IS THE GUARANTEE AND WARRANTY ON PEST-A-CATOR?

There is a sixty-day money back guarantee and a one-year (from date of purchase) warranty on replacement of a defective unit.

11. SHOULD I LEAVE THE UNIT PLUGGED IN ALL THE TIME AND HOW MUCH ELECTRICITY DOES THE UNIT USE?

It is best to leave the unit plugged in at all times, but it will not hurt to unplug it for very short periods of time. The unit uses about the same amount of electricity as a night light.

12. WILL IT EFFECT A PACEMAKER?

Please use the same precautions that your doctor recommends you use with any other appliances. This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and, (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

13. WILL THE UNIT WORK FOR BATS OR SQUIRRELS IN THE ATTIC?

While we have not tested for these particular pests, we have had customers offer this idea which they claimed worked for them.

How to manage squirrels in attics:

Wind or drape an outdoor extention cord in "S" turns throughout the entire attic. The extention cord should be no further than 5' from the previous row(cord) as this will ensure that the signal is completely covering 100% of the attic floor. The cord needs to be plugged into a live 110V wall outlet. Then plug the Pest-A-Cator device into the end of the extention cord. If using Pest-A-Cator Plus product, make sure the outlet that the device is plugged into is obstructive free, meaning clear with no beam or boxes, etc. in front of the unit, to allow the ultrasonic signal to work effectively. Any questions or confusion, please contact our Customer Service people at 1-800-338-5028.

How to manage bats in attic:

Same as managing squirrels in attics, but being the bats roost in the peaks of the attics, the extention cord needs to be raised to the ceiling level by using standard cup hooks (purchased from hardware or grocery stores). Make sure the cup hooks are mounted within 2' of the highest point in the attic. Now string the extention cords through the cup hooks and plug in as noted in "Managing squirrels in attics". Any questions or confusion, please contact our Customer Service people at 1-800-338-5028.

Global Instruments : FAQ Page 5 of 6 _____________________________________________________________________________________________

**1. DOES ULTRASOUND PENETRATE WALLS, FLOORS, CEILINGS OR OTHER OBJECTS?**

No. Frequencies in the "ultrasound" range do not have the energy required to penetrate solid objects.

**2. WILL THIS PRODUCT HARM OR INTERFERE WITH THE FUNCTION OF NORMAL HOUSEHOLD PRODUCTS I.E., TELEVISION, RADIOS, COMPUTERS, OR HOME SECURITY SYSTEMS?**

No.

**3. WILL THIS PRODUCT HARM MY PETS?**

Dogs, cats, reptiles, and birds should not be effected by this product. The product can have adverse effects on rodent and spider type pets, such as, but not limited to, hamsters, gerbils, ferrets, and guinea pigs. We recommend that this product not be placed in the same room with these or any pet that begins to show signs of irritation when in proximity to the unit.

**4. WILL THE PRODUCT HARM PEOPLE WHO ARE PREGNANT OR HAVE PACEMAKERS?**

No. Frequencies in the "ultrasound" range do not have the energy required to penetrate solid objects. This would include human tissue.

**5. WHAT DOES IT COST TO OPERATE?**

Approximately 1 cent per day, depending on your local power rates.

**6. ARE PEOPLE ABLE TO HEAR THE SOUND PUT OUT BY THIS PRODUCT?**

"Imagine fingernails scraping a blackboard 24 hours a day!"

PEST-A-CATOR® PEST-A-CATOR® TOO

Well, that kind of irritation is the theory behind the Pest-A-Cator pest control device from Global Instruments. This is not one of those 'sonic' noise machines. The Pest-A-Cator uses the wiring in your home to turn the whole place into one huge, pest irritating machine which forces them to leave the premises.

Pest-A-Cator is the alternative to harmful or hazardous chemicals, pesticides and insecticides which can harm children, family pets*, friends, the environment and more. A single Pest-A-Cator unit will aid in ridding most standard 2,000 square foot areas of mice, rats and roaches within 2-4 weeks. The unique activity sends a pulsating signal throughout the wiring of homes, businesses and other structures. This silent pulse annoys insects and rodents, driving them out from behind walls, floors and ceilings where they hide and nest.

Just plug the Pest-A-Cator into any 110 outlet and let it go to work. One unit is all that is required for an average home up to 2,000 square feet. Additional units are needed for excess of 2,000 square feet or multiple story structures. The unique activity will not effect computers, telephones or other home appliances.

*Safe for all pets except hamsters, gerbiles, rabbits, and other rodent type pets.

RIDDEX

INTRODUCING: RIDDEX® “The Environmental Alternative For Safer Pest Control”

Want to reduce the use of hazardous chemicals (insecticides and pesticides) in your everyday life, around children, and food products? A new revolutionary invention has produced an innovative breakthrough in rodent and pest control; its name is “RIDDEX.” A recent U.S. patent has been issued for this new principle that safely and uniquely uses the wiring in a home, restaurant, office, or any structure with electrical wiring within the walls. Just plug in the “RIDDEX” to a standard 110 or 220 volt outlet and this new technology starts working by altering the normal field around your wiring, creating an environment that aids in the control of mice, rats, and roaches in the walls and ceiling where your problem exists.

House wiring turns your home into a giant pest repeller!

Comments received during this period will become part of the public record. After thirty (30) days, the Commission will again review the agreement and the comments received and will decide whether it should withdraw from the agreement or make final the agreement's proposed order.

This matter concerns practices related to the advertising, offering for sale, sale, and distribution of various electromagnetic, ultrasonic, and combination electromagnetic and ultrasonic pest control devices. The Commission's proposed complaint alleges that proposed respondents violated section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, 15 U.S.C. § 45, by making numerous representations about Global's pest control products for which they lacked a reasonable basis. Specifically, the complaint alleges that the following representations were unsubstantiated:

• Global's electromagnetic pest control products repel, drive away, or eliminate mice, rats, and cockroaches from homes and other buildings in two to four weeks and drive them away by sending a pulsating signal throughout or altering the field around the electrical wiring inside homes and other buildings; they act as an effective alternative to or eliminate the need for chemicals, pesticides, insecticides, exterminators, and pest control services; • Global's combination electromagnetic/ultrasonic pest control devices effectively repel, control or eliminate mice, rats, cockroaches, rodents, insects, spiders, silverfish, and bats from homes and other buildings and upset nesting sites of mice, rats, and cockroaches within walls, ceilings, and floors

\begin{center} Analysis \end{center}

by using the products’ pulse or electromagnetic technology through the household wiring; \begin{itemize} \item Global’s \textbf{ultrasonic} pest control devices effectively repel, drive away, or eliminate mice, rats, bats, crickets, spiders and other insects from homes and eliminate the need for toxic chemicals, poisons or traps; and \item Global’s pest control products are effective within a space of a given size (for example, 1000 sq. ft. or 2000 sq. ft.). \end{itemize}

The proposed consent order contains provisions designed to prevent proposed respondents from engaging in similar acts and practices in the future. Part I of the proposed order prohibits the following representations unless respondents possess competent and reliable scientific evidence that substantiates the representations:

\begin{itemize} \item that any pest control product repels, controls, or eliminates, temporarily or indefinitely, mice, rats, cockroaches, or any other insects or animal pests and that it does so in an area of a certain size; \item that any pest control product is an effective alternative to or eliminates the need for chemicals, pesticides, insecticides, exterminators, or any other pest control product or service; and \item that any pest control product will alter the electromagnetic field, send a pulsating signal, or otherwise work inside the walls or through the wiring of homes or other buildings in a manner that effectively repels, controls, drives away, or eliminates mice, rats, cockroaches, or any other insects or animal pests. \end{itemize}

Part II of the proposed order requires respondents to possess and rely upon competent and reliable evidence, which when appropriate must be competent and reliable scientific evidence, for claims about the benefit, performance, or efficacy of any product.

Part III of the proposed order requires the respondents to maintain certain records for five years after the last date of dissemination of any representation covered by the order. These

records include: (1) all advertisements and promotional materials containing the representation; (2) all materials relied upon in disseminating the representation; and (3) all evidence in respondents' possession or control that contradicts, qualifies, or calls into question the representation or the basis for it.

Part IV of the proposed order requires distribution of the order to current and future principals, officers, directors, and managers, and to current and future employees, agents, and representatives having responsibilities with respect to the subject matter of the order.

Part V of the proposed order requires that the Commission be notified of any change in the corporation that might affect compliance obligations under the order. Part VI of the proposed order requires that for a period of three years, respondent Charles Patterson will notify the Commission of the discontinuance of his current business or employment or of his affiliation with any new business or employment involving the marketing of any consumer product.

Part VII of the proposed order requires the respondents to file a compliance report with the Commission.

Part VIII of the proposed order states that, absent certain circumstances, the order will terminate twenty (20) years from the date it is issued.

The purpose of this analysis is to facilitate public comment on the proposed consent order. It is not intended to constitute an official interpretation of the agreement and proposed order or to modify their terms in any way.

This consent order, among other things, prohibits Respondent The Maine Health Alliance - a nonprofit corporation consisting of more than 325 physicians and 11 hospitals in northeastern Maine - and its Executive Director, Respondent William R. Diggins, from entering into or facilitating any agreement between or among any physicians (1) to negotiate with payors on any physician's behalf; (2) to deal, not to deal, or threaten not to deal with payors; (3) on what terms to deal with any payor; or (4) not to deal individually with any payor, or to deal with any payor only through the Alliance. The order also prohibits the respondents from facilitating exchanges of information among physicians concerning whether, or on what terms, to contract with a payor. In addition, the order prohibits the respondents from attempting to engage in - or from encouraging, pressuring, or attempting to induce any person to engage in any action prohibited by the order. The order also prohibits the respondents from participating in, or creating, future unlawful agreements for hospital services. In addition, the order requires the Alliance to notify the Commission at least 60 days prior to negotiating or entering into certain agreements with payors related to qualified risk sharing or clinically integrated joint arrangements- or discussing price or related terms among the participants of such arrangements - and, at any payor's request and without penalty, to terminate its current contracts with respect to providing physician services.
