Hi everyone, I’ve been seeing ads for ultrasonic pest repellers and I’m tempted to try them out. Does anyone have experience with these devices? Do they really work?
Hey techgeekTom! From what I’ve read, there’s mixed evidence about their effectiveness. Some people swear by them, while others haven’t seen any results. It might also depend on the type of pests you’re dealing with.
I’m with you, nature_nancy. I think most of these gadgets are just gimmicks. There’s no replacement for proper pest control and keeping your house clean.
Actually skepticSam, some ultrasonic devices have been scientifically proven to repel certain pests. It’s all about the frequency. If you get the right device for the particular pest, it can work wonders.
I tried one, and I haven’t seen any mice since then. Not sure if it’s related, but it’s been peaceful.
They might work for some, but pests can get used to the noise over time. It’s not a permanent fix.
I agree with you. The effectiveness may diminish with time. Also, different pests react differently to ultrasonic waves.
I live in a tropical area, and it seems like ultrasonic repellents don’t do a thing against mosquitoes. Has anyone else had this issue?
Well, there’s no solid scientific evidence that proves ultrasonic repellents are consistently effective. It seems to be a hit or miss.
Agreed. It’s about finding what works best for your situation. I think combining methods is the best approach.
