What are the Trekbbs ads trying to sell to you?

Ugly trench coats despite me already having a non-ugly one, neon orange mittens with strings hanging off them, a jacket with a hood that goes over the entire head??, and enormous pants.
 
This one is pretty close, I don't work anymore (reimagined or actual), but I already auto-renew by AARP subscription.

No, thank you. I'd rather not get a virus. Won't even tell me what I'm downloading.
 
A Pet Supplies Plus ad, 2 Too Much Dust in your house ads
Is it this one? My ad misspelled the word Too.

Stop your mice from squeaking with a very small can of WD-40? My farmer trick to eliminate mice is something called cats.

Looks like they're giving the can to the mouse? Maybe the theory is that you give them the can, and the mice are so thankful for the thoughtful gift that they leave your house as a show of gratitude?
 
I think it involves air conditioning. But what's interesting about the ad is that it features a family with three kids. And I saw one with four yesterday.

It used to be that if you saw an ad with a family that had over two kids, it was probably for a minivan.

Maybe the ad companies have noticed our low fertility rate and decided to encourage us to be more prolific.
 
Ugly Christmas sweaters.

My house has a cast iron pipe in the crawl space that goes from the bathroom to the septic tank that is less than 2 meters in length. It wouldn't cost anywhere near $6,633 to replace or clear.

I don't want a CPAP.

I'll save the click, the answer is cats. I have a feral cat population, outside, on the property, of at least 30. There are no mice, rats or gophers on my acreage.
