Ultrasonic Pest Control Devices Are Helpful To Many Homeowners

By Jeannie Chapman





Essentially all homeowners have discovered insects or rodents in their dwelling at some point in time. For this reason, pest-control services are in constant demand. Many companies provide devices to clients that were developed to protect residential homes from attacks of this kind. Such products are associated with varying levels of effectiveness, but ultrasonic pest control is one technique that has gained the attention of many homeowners over the past few years.



Many people have found such devices advantageous when used on a regular basis. However, traditional measures work more effectively, according to certain consumers. In order to ensure one chooses the best method or device for his or her needs, it is a good idea for property owners to try different products and equipment.



Learning more about devices and products of this kind and how they work is always a wise course of action. It is also good idea to read online reviews about different products and pest-control methods. This will help consumers to select the best repellent for their needs.



The theory behind ultrasonic technology for controlling pests focuses on repelling such vermin by generating sound waves that irritate rodents and insects. The human ear cannot hear at this range, and therefore the sounds do not disturb those who live in the dwelling. Numerous individuals find this highly beneficial.



Even though insects and rodents cannot be killed through the use of ultrasonic devices, the latter eventually lead to the elimination of such pests. This is due to the fact that when they come within 15 feet of the sound, such vermin quickly retreat. This is because they find the transmitting sound waves highly irritating when the device is in use.



In some instances, rodents and insects that are stubborn will try to find an area in the home where the device's effects are somewhat blocked, such as behind appliances or furniture. Eventually, however, they are reached with the sound waves and thus motivated to exit the premises. If one's problem is with rats or mice, ultrasonic repellers should be positioned close to walls. This is due to the fact that rodents like to run parallel to the home's walls. If insects are the problem, the device should be placed where that particular species has a tendency to form colonies.



Ultrasonic sounds typically measure over twenty kilohertz on the radio frequency scale. Unfortunately, this frequency can also be heard by certain dog breeds. This means that if one has a dog as a pet, this device is not a good choice. Birds and cats, however, do not usually hear at this frequency. For this reason, such devices are appropriate for dwellings where cats are birds reside.



Certain devices are available that emit extremely potent sound waves that can kill or damage insects or mice and rats. However, this high of a frequency can also result in neurological disturbances in people. This theory has not been scientifically proven yet, but it is still a good idea for consumers to avoid placing such devices in residential homes.



The pest-control devices mentioned above can be placed in virtually any dwelling. They can be bought in traditional stores or online. However, certain property owners prefer to have experts install units of this type. This choice is up to the homeowner, but those who are not sure about how to install ultrasonic pest control equipment properly should seek professional guidance.
