Find Out Which Electric Pest Control Products Work And What Doesn’t
There are many electric pest control products on the market today. Some of these work really well while others do not. Many fail to live up to their advertised expectations making them disappointing.
Ultrasonic repellers tend to not work as well as you would hope. These are small units that are plugged into an outlet that send out sound frequencies to attempt to repel pests. One big problem with these is that pests, even when kept away, will just go behind a wall and avoid that room. It doesn’t actually take care of any pest problems in the house but just moves them around.
So which of these electronic pest products work?
Motion activated sprinklers work very well. These are sprinklers that are attached to a hose run on a small battery that only turns on when something trips the sensor. If an animal comes near the sprinkler, it will turn on and spray water. What’s nice about this is that it either gets the animal wet or makes enough noise to scare them. This is a good type of yard product because it will work on a wide variety of animals. If looking for a product that works on many different animals, sprinklers work better than the noise repellents devices.
Electric rodent traps work well. Traditional traps and sticky glue traps will work against rodents but they also high a high failure rate. Rodent traps work because they will literally trap and kill the pest quickly as opposed to over minutes making them more humane. These work much better than the popular ultrasonic devices that don’t work quite as well as one would expect. It’s not that the non-electric traps do not work, but the electric models work better.
One thing to avoid if possible is pest control products that require a power cord. Battery operated devices work much better as they can be put anywhere.
