Hey everyone!
I discovered mice nesting in my garage and decided to try ​ultrasonic pest repellers as a pet-safe alternative to traps. I purchased two top-rated devices. After weeks of humming noises, the mice seemed unbothered—until I repositioned the devices near their entry points. Activity dropped within 10 days, but I’m still unsure if it was the repellers or seasonal changes. ​Have these gadgets worked for you, or are they just placebo tech? Share your wins, fails, and tips!

Questions for Discussion:

  1. Which ​specific pests (mice, spiders, roaches, etc.) did ultrasonic repellers work—or fail—for?
  2. How long did it take to see results? Did pests return after unplugging?
  3. What ​brands/models do you swear by (or regret buying)?
  4. Are they safe for ​pets like dogs, cats, or birds?
  5. Would you recommend them for ​severe infestations, or only minor issues?
