Monster Sauce and director Frank Carroll expose the chaos of DIY pest control
Envirapest has launched a new campaign via Monster Sauce, highlighting the everyday reality that DIY pest control rarely goes to plan.
The campaign follows a series of domestic scenarios where well-meaning residents attempt to tackle different household pests – ants, rats, and termites – with misplaced confidence and half-arsed execution.
Steve Back of Monster Sauce, said: “The fun of this project was sitting close to real life. Everyone’s tried to fix something they had no business fixing. These characters just end up where most of us do.”
Directed by Frank Carroll, the campaign is already gaining traction online and has seen a sharp increase in engagement.
Carroll said: “These scripts ticked all the boxes for me. I loved working with Monster Sauce to create absurd, meticulously composed micro-worlds where the logic is broken… but kinda makes sense.”
The campaign will roll out across digital and social channels throughout WA.
