Monster Sighting Image: Nacho

Jahsin, age 9, submitted this photo of a creature in his room. He was unsure if it was a ghost or a monster, so he ordered both Ghost Repellent and Monstercide.  Upon review of the facts, MACTO researchers believe this to be a Spooker ghost, easily repelled by MACTO Ghost Repellent. One spray a night should do the trick, Jahsin!

Spookers
Spookers are rather unfriendly ghosts. They don't cause any harm, but they love to scare people. Strange noises in your room, creepy feelings wave over you? Those are usually Spookers in action.

Attracted to: Easily scared people, children
Repelled by: Light, water, flower fragrances. Fresh flowers or just flower-scented air spray will make Spookers leave the room immediately.

Monster Sighting Image: Egg Bird

Jared, age 9, has reported a monster in his room that he has nicknamed Egg Bird. Upon review of the facts, MACTO researchers believe this to be a mutant form of a Peekerboo. Most Peekerboos have hands and two eyes, but the description Jared provided of this monster fits. Jared has requested a bottle of MACTO Monstercide and promises to keep the floor of his room clean and free from sugar to see that this creature never returns.

Peekerboos
Peekerboos like to hide behind things and look for other places to hide. They do not like to be out in the open, and consequently are rarely seen by humans. Peekerboos are not very smart, but they are highly adept at finding new and exciting places to hide, like under clothing left on the floor or in soda cans left in the room. Peekerboos are not all that tiny but they can squish themselves into strange places and seem small for hours at a time.

Attracted to: Small dark places, sugar.
Repelled by: Clean floors, light, no place to hide. Lavender is deadly, geranium repels them.

Monster Sighting Image: The Scary Thing

Nicole, 11, sent in this picture of the monster that was raiding her closet at night. She could never catch it with the light on, but once the light was off, it made lots of noise. She has ordered a bottle of MACTO Monstercide to hopefully  vanquish this monster.

Upon evaluation of the facts and imagery, it is our believe that this monster is of the Nobecutorus family, and is fully vanquish-able with MACTO Monstercide:

Nobecutorus
"Nobbies" like to leave doors open. They don't actually like to go through doorways, and once a Nobbie has found a place to live, they tend to stay there. Nobbies enjoy opening doors and nothing more.

Attracted to: Door knobs.
Repelled by: Nobbies hate light. Lights on in closets prevent them from doing anything at all. Lavender is deadly to Nobbies.

Summer monsters

The MACTO Research Institute has released new findings on summertime monsters.

It has been our experience that as of June 20, 2012, the following monster species have begun appearing en mass in the summer months - all have proven to be vanquished by MACTO Monstercide.

Pixiefargulatas
One of the smallest of all the home-dwelling monsters, Pixiefargs, as they are known, are harmless. Sometimes mistaken for gremlins, their mischievous ways cause much havoc in children's bedrooms. Pixiefargs like to steal socks and toys, but prefer socks. They usually only take one sock when a pair is present, the reason is a mystery to scientists worldwide.
Attracted to: White socks laying on the floor, toys laying on the floor.
Repelled by: Light and water. Lavender is deadly to them.
 

Nobecutorus
"Nobbies" like to leave doors open. They don't actually like to go through doorways, and once a Nobbie has found a place to live, they tend to stay there. Nobbies enjoy opening doors and nothing more.
Attracted to: Door knobs.
Repelled by: Nobbies hate light. Lights on in closets prevent them from doing anything at all. Lavender is deadly to Nobbies.  

Mognofaygulas
Nicknamed "Moggies," these creatures are similar to Pixiefargs in their love of sock-thievery. While Moggies prefer non-white socks, they generally will take any sock they can find on the floor. Moggies tend to dwell in closets because they love the smell of shoes. Moggies are harmless, and are rarely seen by humans.
Attracted to: Non-white socks laying on the floor.
Repelled by: Light and water. Lavender is deadly to them. 

Monsters gearing up for the summer

As April rolls to May this year, the MACTO scientists have begun researching what monsters are trending in the southern half of the US. Research findings to be released in mid-June, but please know we are actively studying trends and ensuring our formulas remain effective.

March is Monster Month! (so is October!)

Happy Monster Month, Monster Vanquishers!

Let us know what creatures you see while you're out slaying monsters!

Monstercide formula updated

As we open 2012, MACTO researchers have been hard at work reviewing monster sightings from 2011. We have determined a number of new monster species, all of which are completely vanquishable by MACTO Monstercide. However, the team has included some additional monster-fighting enzymes in our latest 2012 formula. Happy vanquishing!
