Pest repellers have been on sale now for around 10 years so they have been put to the test in many situations. No matter what the trained pest control servicing companies say pest repellers do appear to work on a range of pests and they are very popular with home owners as they give a fully non toxic pest control option.
There are two models of repellers on the market and I will talk about bout both then you can come to a decision which one, if any, you use. The first one is the Ultrasonic pest repeller which works by giving off a high frequency sound which is not perceptible to humans. This creates a abrasive environment for the pests to exist in and therefore they move on. It works on rodents and a lot of insects so be aware if you have pets such as hamsters it will affect them. The restrictions of these kind of pest repellers is that ultrasonic sound does not travel through object and this is a main drawback. Say for instance you have mice in your kitchen nesting under your units, the ultrasonic repeller will not penetrate into these places or in other situations such as in an attic the ultrasonic sound will be blocked from travelling by any object such as Christmas decorations you are storing up there.
The other variety is one that works on electromagnetic frequency. Simply put when you plug the unit in, it uses the wiring of your electric system in your whole house to generate an electromagnetic force which again creates a harsh environment for the pests to reside in. The benefits of this are the force field it builds up will voyage wherever you have electrical wiring. So even if the pests are harbouring inside the wall cavities they will be driven out similarly if they are in an attic and you have wiring in there then they will also feel the effect and leave. This is the foremost benefit of using an electromagnetic pest repeller over the ultrasonic pest repellers even though the ultrasonic ones are generally cost alot less.
Some repellers such as the Peststop 2000 have both functions so you get the full benefits of both types of repeller and these sort of units are proving popular.
When using pest repellers take into account that they will only create a unforgiving environment for the pests to dwell in. They will not stop pests from entering your premises so you still need to do your detective work and find the point of pest entry and block it up with either caulking sealant for insects of cement and wire wool for rodents. Once you have conducted this out then you should be able to easily maintain a pest free environment and therefore reduce the risk of disease
With Pest repellers becoming increasingly popular with people searching for a humane option which one is right for you?
