Together with the first rays of the spring sun, brightly colored butterflies, ants, flies, beetles come to life and crawl out of their winter shelters. And it pleases everyone. Spring has come! But as soon as this living creature begins to fly and breed in your apartment, it no longer causes delight and tenderness. And besides the spring “guests”, such “neighbors” as spiders, sometimes cockroaches, bedbugs, and mice live beside us all year round. Our time, energy, and money are constantly spent on fighting them.
What prevents us from rodents and insects
- Many experience panic at the sight of a mouse or a spider (it’s not for nothing that they even came up with a special term: “arachnophobia” - fear of spiders).
- It’s unpleasant to realize that this is an apple or a pie before you have already eaten.
- Mosquitoes and bedbugs bite painfully, which prevents full work and rest.
- Rats, mice carry viruses of dangerous diseases that can be infected by home owners.
Pest Management Methods
Various deodorants for the destruction of insects do not help very effectively and do not last long, and the damage to the health of the owner from them is not much less than insects. Powders, gels poured out at baseboards, crayons from moths and cockroaches are not so harmful to humans, but they also act in a small area. And over time, the addictive effect will allow uninvited guests not to react to the “treat” prepared for them.
To fight mice and rats, they use poison, from which they die, leaving corpses with a specific smell. Mousetraps catch only those who are caught in them. Then they need to be cleaned of prey. It turns out that pests multiply much faster than a person fights them. What to do: reconcile and continue this work of Sisyphus?
Ultrasonic repeller
A relatively new tool is an ultrasonic repeller. Its use makes it possible, without running around the room with a fly swatter or a broom, to get rid of annoying roommates. Using ultrasonic signals, the device creates an uncomfortable sound background for insects. Unable to withstand these terrible (in their understanding) sounds, they leave your room.
And go to another. There, too, you need to install your repeller. And if there are not one or two rooms, then the fight against insects and rodents will be expensive financially. In addition, according to consumer reviews, the device prevents not only mice from living, but also the owners. This very ultrasound is not very pleasant for them either. Reviews of cats and dogs could not be found.
Electronic scare
Save money, nerves and health will help electronic repeller - a new word in a quiet war with insects.
Now there are several brands of electronic repellers on sale. One of them is Riddex Pest Repeller ("Pest Repeller"), patented in the USA. It operates on an area of 70 m 2 . Some sources talk about effective work on an area of up to 220 m 2 . But it’s better to get one more for such a room. That is, one device will be enough for an apartment or an ordinary house.
How Pest Repeller Works
Customer reviews indicate that using the device is extremely simple.
Plug the Pest Repeller plug into one of the sockets (voltage 220V), preferably in the center of the house or apartment. See that the indicator light of the device blinks (first green, then red) and go about your business.
The repeller uses the entire electrical network of the building, which for the time will become one large electromagnetic device. Using a digital pulse technology, a microprocessor will change the electromagnetic field created by electric wires. Rodents and cockroaches under his influence begin to experience fear. It makes pests leave your apartment.
Before buying the device, remember if you have guinea pigs, hamsters or other small pets living with you. After all, "Pest Repeller" is a repeller that acts on all rodents indiscriminately. In this case, you need to choose: pets and cockroaches - or neither one nor the other.

Customer reviews
They are not very many, because this is a relatively new device.

Otherwise, you risk getting a fake. Perhaps negative reviews about the Pest Repeller device are associated with this - criticism that it does not work at all.

They report that the mice disappear after several days of work.
