Product Information

You can’t worry about a child or pet getting into bait or dealing with cleaning the traps after use.

These stakes are waterproof and installing them is as simple as digging an eight-inch hole in the ground, insert the device leaving two to four inches above the ground and turning them on.

It’s possible you might notice a short term, temporary effect - seeing less rodents around, but these methods will not permanently eliminate mice from your home or business premises. Checking both the interior and exterior of your home for potential entry points and then sealing them to block easy access to mice is the first step. Over the course of his decades-long career, Bob Vila has helped millions of people build, renovate, repair, and live better each day—a tradition that continues today with expert yet accessible home advice.

Red is also the only mode that is audible to a human, and Neatmaster suggests this mode be used only when no humans are in the home. If you are not in favor of trapping or killing the rodents in your home, other options are just as effective at keeping them away.The sound may also prevent them from communicating, since scientists believe that mice communicate at a frequency that is also higher than human hearing. It’s important that we suggest only the best ultrasonic pest repellers, so we put a lot of effort into assembling this list. However, your family’s pet will likely not pay much attention to the high-frequency sound, and it won’t cause them any harm.

While they may be effective in a wide-open basement, understand that walls and ceilings can limit this range.There are five bags sold in each pack and they can be spread out throughout the infested area or all over the house. They said this repeller is a great product, doing its job, chasing uninvited pests away effectively. Storing all groceries in air-tight containers is also helpful, in case these creatures have a more firm footing than you believed.

You will need to leave them out in the sun to charge for the first 24 hours before using and you should start to see results in two to four weeks. Another said that his girlfriend is experiencing headaches in a room where he installed multiple repellers.The sounds from the repellents might fail to pass through furniture and walls, thus limiting their range. The Bob Vila team distills need-to-know information into project tutorials, maintenance guides, tool 101s, and more. Since it’s non-toxic, you can use them around pets and children without worrying about harming them. As with all plug-in repeller products, users should take care to install them in open areas of the room not obstructed by furniture or other objects, as this can block the ultrasonic waves from reaching their maximum range and effectiveness. Using an ultrasonic mouse repeller is an uncomplicated, hygienic method of sending them scurrying out of doors to find a new home that isn’t constantly ringing with noise.
