Press Release Summary: To help consumers prevent bedbug infestations, Ohio-based JT
Eaton has introduced the first pest control product specifically developed for use
on luggage and other soft surfaces.

Press Release Body: TWINSBURG, Ohio - December 13, 2007 - While many travelers come
back from a vacation or business trip with more in their suitcase than they
intended, there's a chance that along with souvenirs and hotel pens, they might be
carrying back some surprise guests as well. According to pest control experts, one
of the most common sources of bedbug and other insect infestations is luggage that
has become a taxi for insects from hotel to home. To help consumers protect their
luggage, JT Eaton (www.JTEaton.com) has developed and introduced the first
consumer-use insecticide specifically developed for controlling infestation in
travel bags.

Rest EasyTM Bedbug and Insect Control for Luggage safely and effectively kills
bedbugs that can go undetected in suitcases and then spread to homes or other hotel
rooms. The product has been EPA registered so it can be used safely at home or on
vacation, and the easy-to-use spray also controls fleas, ticks, moths and lice, in
addition to spiders and cockroaches. In addition, Rest EasyTM is water-based, so it
will not leave an oily or sticky residue on fabrics.

"There has been a resurgence in the prevalence of bedbugs to nearly epidemic
proportions most likely due to increased travel," said Dale Baker, JT Eaton's vice
president of sales. "Unfortunately, once an infestation occurs in the home, multiple
treatments are necessary and can often be quite expensive."

According to Baker, the unique product was developed with the traveler in mind and
is ideal for both leisure and business travelers.

"While our other bedbug products Kills Bedbugs and Kills Bedbugs II have been
extremely successful in treating existing problems, Rest EasyTM is designed to kill
bedbugs in luggage, thereby preventing the cost and hassle of a full professional
treatment," Baker said.

To prevent luggage infestation, users simply apply Rest EasyTM to the inside and
outside surfaces of their bags, letting the spray dry thoroughly before packing. The
product can also be used in dormitories, while camping, on cruises and even at home
on mattresses, beds and baseboards to kill bedbugs, fleas, ticks, lice and spiders.
Rest EasyTM can also be sprayed in closets, clothes drawers and on infested articles
of clothing to control moths.

Sold at a suggested retail price of $14.99 per bottle, Rest EasyTM is now available
at ACE Hardware stores in all U.S. states except California and Florida. The
product should be offered in those states by January 2008 and JT Eaton expects to
expand the list of nationwide retailers carrying the product by the end of the year.
Consumers can also ask their local grocer, hardware store or pharmacy to carry Rest
EasyTM or contact JT Eaton direct for additional information on availability.

JT Eaton also produces Kills Bedbugs Insecticide, an oil-based pest control product
for both retail and professional use and Stick-Em Glue traps for rats and mice.
Other JT Eaton pest control products can be found at ACE Hardware, True Value and
Walgreens stores nationwide, in addition to Menards, Ralphs, FredMeyer and Do it
Best stores regionally.
