Many Individuals Find Ultrasonic Pest Control Devices Beneficial

By Jeannie Chapman


In today's modern society, pest-control businesses are booming. This is because virtually all property owners have experienced insect infestations at one time or another. Many companies provide devices to homeowners that are designed to eliminate such pests from the person's dwelling. The effectiveness of such products vary, depending on what type of method is being used. However, over the past few years, ultrasonic pest control devices have experienced a significant increase in popularity.

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.

Understanding more about such products and how they work is helpful. Reading reviews online about various insect control methods and products is a wise course of action. In this way, one can choose the best repellent for his or her 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.

Although the sounds from ultrasonic devices do not kill the aforementioned pests, they do ultimately result in their elimination. This is because when certain insects or rodents come within fifteen feet of the sound, they quickly do an about-face. This is due to the irritation they experience when the device is transmitting sound waves.

In some cases, pests that are particularly stubborn will try to hide behind appliances, furniture, or other areas that the sound waves will have difficulty penetrating. However, nothing will stop the frequencies from eventually reaching the pests and motivating them to exit the premises. If rodents are the problem, the repellers should be positioned where the walls touch the floors. This is because mice and rats like to run along the side of a dwelling's walls. The best position for such equipment when it is being used to eliminate insects will depend on where the latter typically coagulate.

Ultrasonic sounds usually exceed twenty kilohertz on the radio frequency scale. It is an unfortunate fact, however, that certain breeds of dogs can also hear such sounds. For this reason, devices of this type should not be used if one has a pet dog. Fortunately, birds and cats do not hear sounds at this high of a frequency, meaning such devices can be used in dwellings where cats or 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 aforementioned pest control devices can be installed in essentially any home. They can be purchased online or in traditional stores. Some homeowners, however, prefer to have professionals install such units. This is largely a matter of personal preference, but anyone who is unsure about how to appropriately install ultrasonic pest control devices should seek the advice of a professional.
