Do Electronic Pest Repellers Work?

- Опубликовано: 11 ноя 2016
- After finding that mice don't mind ultrasonic pest repellers, I decided to test the volume of emissions from several of these devices.
"Electronic kitties" or pest repellers come in many makes and models. As you'll see in my decibel tests, not all emit any sound in terms of volume.

HIGHEST VOLUME dB EMISSION PEST REPELLER I TESTED:
Svinz Smart Ultrasonic Pest Repeller (corded): amzn.to/2i07cxS
"Electronic kitties" or pest repellers come in many makes and models. As you'll see in my decibel tests, not all emit any sound waves.
The units I tested are now hard to find, as it's been a while, but these are close matches:
➠ Pest X now looks like this: amzn.to/2KeBrkh
➠ Mehome Repeller is like this one: amzn.to/34uEHyM
➠ Best seller on Amazon is this one: amzn.to/2Kmrmlc
Amcrest Trail Cam I use in this video: amzn.to/31IwOBN

Seems like those ultrasonic devices are just providing the mice with some soothing techno music while they dine.
Fyi

Maybe mice funny when some say work for bedbugs. Top entomologist said they dont have ears. Humans gotta lovem
Exterminator said he found one packed with roaches not bugs for sure
🤣🤣🤣🤣
If you pay me what you paid for those bogus electronic sound shooters I'll stand there and yell in a designated location for a little while.
😂😂
I loved this comment!
After I read this, i pictured Peter doing just that. Only because i know Stewie wouldn't do that.
It will probably work because just reading your post is a deterrent.
😂😂
Mouse: "That really hurts my ears"!
See's almond butter....
Mouse: WORTH IT!
Agree, the lure of food is worth putting up with the annoyance of the ultrasonic device. I would guess that if there's no food... then the mice will go somewhere else.
Literally what happens.
This is why it is important not to leave food out in addition to the electronic traps.

I’ve watched maybe 20-30 videos reviewing these things & sir yours is the best. You were cut & dry to the point. Also, you obviously weren’t trying to sell a product. I’m beginning to hate YT because you never know who is trying to promote their product & who is doing genuine scientific research. For that, thank you!
I know what you mean, man: so many videos are just people hyping free or paid-for products they've never really used. Hard to sort through that stuff. Anyway, big thanks
For the decibel reader, you might want to remove the foam screen cap. Thats there to prevent wind screen noise, but as you are indoors, would be entirely unnecessary, and at the range of sound you are recording, that foam screen cap may very well perform as an acoustic absorber. Also dB's are a non linear scale, 20 dB's is an extraordinary amount of energy, even an increase of 1 dB in the upper level is quite a significant and almost unsafe amount of energy.
Also another thing is that High frequency noises are **extremely** directional. If your sensor is place even a little off access, you will get a significant decrease in decibel reading, this is part of the secret of how directional mics work to begin with.... which is another reason why emitters are ineffective.
This speaks volumes that rodents will straight up eat within a choir of them.
Good on you for exposing the fallacious industry of these sonic emitters.
this wasn't what I was looking for actually but I have to give you props for being well equipped and professionally made a video with the pest control.
+Ernesto Carranza ... thanks!
+Ernesto Carranza ... excellent!
Thank you for providing us with your priceless public service. I was tempted to buy one of these things, and you've saved me some money.

It makes me so angry that these things are still being sold and they don’t work. Where are the consumer protection agencies banning these devices and suing for false clams.
No kidding. Such a scam
See my post above
Actually, the Federal Trade Commission did send out warnings to over 60 manufacturers in 2001, and even sued one for ignoring their warning. The problem is that these do work, in theory. I mean, wouldn't you avoid irritating noise? The problem is that the pests soon become acclimated and they lose their effectiveness. And future generations are not affected at all due to Natural Selection. But that's just like any pesticide. So the FTC can't ban them outright, and only tell them not to make outrageous claims. www.nachi.org/ultrasonic-pest-repellers.htm
They are the ones inventing them and their Board of directors owns a company that makes them. Insider trading
This is America the most corrupt Western country. It is land of the corporations not the land of the free or the brave anymore.
I was thinking of trying one. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.
Thanks for checking it out
Thank You, Great buyer beware video! Really appreciate your time as well the effort!
You betcha!
Hey Amigo thanks for the effort you put into this. Most of what I read says that these ultrasonic devices don't provide much assistance in repelling mice for various reasons--placement, gradual acclimation to the sound produced, etc. I wonder though how accurately a standard db meter can detect volume( or more correctly sound pressure level-SPL). Decibel meters seem to be aimed at measuring the SPL of frequencies that humans can hear (20hz to 20,000 hz) to aid in the prevention damage to human hearing in noisy environments. Measuring the sound pressure level of frequencies beyond that range( so called ultrasonic) probably requires a different instrument. Perhaps the one repellent device that seemed to be "working" was emitting a frequency that the meter could detect. No criticism intended here just some fun musing. The bottom line is the little buggers are winning.
Yeah, I think you're right about the frequencies but the dang things sure don't keep the mice away
They work best if you wind up and throw it at them and are lucky enough to hit them.
gotta have good aim! so true :)
Now that was funny you saved me money thank you sir.
Yep!
Charles Jurden it may not be a valid test. Please read my post.
Looks like I'm buying more poke balls but no one likes ratatata
Edit: or whatever the rat pokemon name is
I’ve never used one for mice, but I had a really REALLY REALLY bad cockroach infection that came from a neighboring apartment. I paid $10 on Amazon fairly positive it was a scam, I couldn’t use a spray for atleast 2 days and Amazon would deliver the device next day and the spray the day after.
I received it and plugged it in at the worst point of infection where they make the most contact with me.
Their numbers were greatly reduced and they didn’t come too close to me. I had to use it at the highest setting which was audible to me and annoying af to my dog but it worked.
Finally the spray arrived and I was able to keep them at bay out if my apartment until an exterminator took care of the whole building.
A powerful story! Thanks for sharing it
metaspencer, thanks for doing this video. It helped to make up my mind as I was considering getting an electronic repeller but now I will look at other alternatives.
+Stalemate One very good! I've found that removing all nesting options does wonders
Thank you for taking the time to check these out and the trail cam footage.
You bet
Excellent video! I've been thinking about getting one but was concerned that it might affect my cat. Now I see that it doesn't affect anything at all. Thank you.
Dont waste ure money
Maybe your cat should do his/her fu*#ing job
do you measured it with the dB(A) setting? this is calibrated to the human hearing capabilities...
You can 'expect' the pest repellerto work well if it has the ability to change the frequency of sounds that it emits. This is because mice and rodents are not used to changing frequencies, and therefore might get irritated due to it. The high frequency sounddoes not work if it encounters a solid obstacle in its way...
As others have said the dB output is not cumulative. This means the "dead" repellers may actually be emitting sound; only below the ambient level (which seems not very much). Either way, I am convinced of the ineffectiveness of these devices. Pictures don't lie.
Well said man. Thanks for taking the time to comment
Thank you. You saved me some money. I can't believe companies are allowed to sell the public such junk!
+Patty Stine-Billingslea ... seriously!
@@metaspencer yes.. I was thinking of getting them. Guess good old roach bait is the way to go or a exterminator.
If the public wasn't so stupid, then psychics and mediums would go out of business. People are known to spend money on stuff that doesn't work, just because they are told it will.
@@michaelhernandez3220 yep
Patty. Don't base your decisions on the say so of some random 'muppet' on the internet(!) Most of these people are posting for self gratification - & revenue - & know little or nothing about what they comment on. Yes. By all means be cautious - but always cross reference & check the info given with other sources.
Thanks for the tests,I wish I woulda watched more of these videos before I bought a few packs out these repellers that were supposedly the best kind to get but I haven't seen much affect on my spider mites/other bugs around my plants
Sorry to hear -- but you're not alone. It's just so easy to think they'll work. Anyway, you'll make progress against those mice
thanks for the info very descriptive
The honesty of your testing and comment is so refreshing in a world of hype.
Thanks! Hang in
I was told by a restaurant owner that the ultra sonic rat and roach killers do not work, back in 1985, after seeing a cockroach run across one of the devices. Total FAIL!!! Then 2 years ago I heard about using 432htz to calm down the brain and produce sleep. I was using my phone to send the sound to my stereo, which made it much louder, so 432htz worked, when amplified and then I tried the rat killers, and in 20 minutes the rat sounds stopped, and did not return. So the idea works, but you have to modify the system so it is very loud, at least for rats and mice ect... Brother James OSB OFS OSC
Interesting!!
You don't subtract the ambient level from the reading to determine the decibel level. As long as the noise source is above the ambient level that is the true decibel reading. If it is below the ambient level, you cannot measure it.
Thank you for video. It is good that you use a sound meter to evaluate DB level of each device. As far as I know, a quite room is appr 20 DBs. Conversation is 45 DBs. Busy traffic noise is 70 DBs. So anything below 70 will be ok for humans.
However, since rats can normally hear ultrasound in its lifetime, so an additional amount of ultrasound produced from small device would be neglected.
Anyhow I have been using this device for 2 weeks, I observed the different. It works under my carport.
By the way, in your tests those with no signal or 5 DB should be broken circuit board.
They recommend one for each room. Bedroom #1, Bedroom Closet #1, Bedroom #2, Bedroom closet #2, Bedroom #3, Bedroom Closet #3, Bathroom #1, Bathroom #2, Powder Room, Living Room, Dining Room, Den, Kitchen, Crawlspace, Attic, and One for EACH Hallway, Stairway #1, Stairway #2, Stairway #3, Tool Shed, Garage, Front Porch, Back Yard Porch, Sun Porch, Front Yard, Back Yard, Side Yard #1, and Side Yard #2.

hilarious. you've got it figured out
I’m just going to burn the house down 🤷🏽♂️
This also depends on the detector response range. If the detector itself does not respond to that frequency, it may showing a fault result
Decibel meters are not meant to "hear" the frequencies involved.....this test does NOTHING.
@@jasonbrindamour903 Well the dB part perhaps, but it still showed that a mouse will eat happily around a chorus of emitters, which is the real take away here
This doesn't change the conclusion, but the sound meter almost certainly has limited bandwith, so it wouldn't pick up much (if anything) at those frequencies. I'd guess the one it does give a reading for emitts EM noise. Look at the data sheet for it, it should have a frequency range specified. Outside that it likely drops off steeply.
Would the decibel reader pick up the low electrical charge from the one you plug in? Maybe you think it's ultrasonic but in reality it's just the electrical buzz it's picking up instead.
those companies should be sued for scamming us
Scaling?
@@ianlee4850 scamming
There are being sued..I orderd the Bell& Howell ones and received a letter to partake in lawsuit against them...they don't work..look into it
Thanks for your efforts. I was always convinced that these gadgets were too good to be true and probably total BS. good to see a logical analysis with dB tester.
yeah, these mainly seem to light up their LED lights
Thanks a ton for testing and posting. You have saved a bunch of us money!
Oh you betcha! Take care
Hey, I rolled you over from 1.7k to 1.8k! Great video. I always wondered if they worked. I'm glad I didn't seriously push to purchase them for the self-storage center I worked for. It would have been a waste if money.
Thanks for checking out the video!
I adopted a stray cat... I don't have any mice anymore....
meekyungdre
You mean the cat adopted you 😀
Pete Kenny lmao y'all are crazy
Yes, but now you have a cat. Cats are the major killers of songbirds.
@@pc3983 This. All the animals of my life came to me. (Apparently they are really good at recognizing a sucker. Must be some sort of animal survival instinct.)
YEAH, I THOUGHT OF THAT TOO, BUT IM OLD AND I DONT FEEL LIKE I WANT ANY RESPONSIBILITY WITH A PET AT MY AGE. SO I GUESS I LL HAVE TO THINK OF SOMETHING ELSE. WOULDNT IT BE GOOD IF THERE WAS SOME KIND OF MECHANICAL DEVICE THAT WAS MADE BY SOMEONE THAT WORKED ON BATTERIES AND WHEN THIS DEVICE DETECTED A MOUSE IT WOULD GO AFTER IT AND KILL IT. THE SPEED OF THE DEVICE WOULD HAVE TO BE LIKE LIGHTNING. MAYBE SOME TYPE OF AUTOMATIC SLING SHOT THING WHEN ANY MOVEMENT WAS NEAR IT, IT WOULD GO OFF.
I was sick and tired of the traps and decided to get a real cat for my mother and let me tell you he definitely did the job!😀👍🏾. Unfortunately after over 5 years we had to give him up but he's at a good home. Live cats are much much more efficient. Thank you for your video because I was thinking about getting one of these ultrasonic sensors for my place but i think ill just invest in getting a cat 😆👍🏾. God Bless you and your family!.🙂🙏🏾❤🕊
I love your cat story! Makes perfect sense. Take care
Thanks! I save myself ,$35 99,on the purchase,back to the old convention way. The merchant must hate you,but we love you for your honesty thanks again.
You'll win out over those mice ... it just takes determination
dB is a logarithmic scale, so in order to subtract the ambient noise you would first have to convert into sound power, then subtract and then convert it back to dB. But for the dB's you measured the end result should be almost identical to the original measurement (every 6dB the power drops by a factor 1/2, so for a 30dB difference means a factor 1/64 difference which translates to only a 0.1 dB reduction so negligible).
+K van der Veen .... interesting!
Awesome. you saved me money and from feeling like a sucker.
I have some experience with the sound level meters and I think they are poor at higher frequencies. That image of the mouse with repellents is hilarious though.
zodiacfml how do we know they were plugged in?
A lot of the mics on these dB measuring gadgets only go up to 8khz, which is definitely not supersonic.
@@natural-born_pilot ....what reason would he have to not have them plugged???o.o
Thanks for this. Quite useful. I'll watch a few more like this before making a decision.
you'll find some sales hype out there, I think ... good luck!
I have some pretty big sound emitters to keep critters from under my deck. There’s a motion sensor and it screams a high pitched eagle sound that my dogs alerted too for the first few days they set it off. I haven’t had any skunks or raccoons under there in a year, could be coincidence, but anecdotally they seem to work.
Wow, sounds like quite a setup!
Thanks, Spencer. You Rock for such a crazy thorough comparison! Have you had any luck with devices to repel mosquitos?
Check my other video on the bug repellers ... link here in comments at top
I enjoyed this video especially the hidden camera with the peanut butter set up is it possible you could do the same test using the fresh cab stuff..... would love a visual if they'll even go near the area even for food
Hey, thanks for the nice comment! Yeah, I had fun setting up the hidden camera. I'll have to plan out a second test. Great idea.
Thank you for doing this video. My question is this, did you try it only one at a time? I know from producing music that when you have two soundwaves that are the same, they can actually cancel each other out. I am wondering if that is a possibilty. I have a rodent running around my walls, so I am looking for a solution. Did you find one yet?
I started out with one ... and it wasn't working. So I tried a few more. I suppose the cancellation is possible; you never know
@@metaspencer it'd better will footage that u try it one by one..since what we can see in here u only show the result with two devices operational at the same times.
Can I ask if your meter is omni directional. It seems as if you were getting a better signal when it was pointed at the device.
I think unidirectional ... not 100% sure though
The problem is that decibels don't measure frequency. Decibels are used to measure volume. FREQUENCY measure the number of times a sound wave passes a fixed point. Sound comes in waves and the number of times each second a new wave passes a point is the FREQUENCY of the sound.
+academicjock ... either way the mice love them
hmm ... your video showed that mice ignore the electronic devices. What do you mean, "either way the mice love them"? What do the mice love if they are not affected by the electronic devices?
I was just saying that the devices clearly don't deter mice. The fact that they emit either no or very low volume emissions could be part of that
academicjock because I don't understand what you're saying I'm going to take it as disrespect, watch your mouth and help me with the sale
But still decibels or frequency is failed to keep those mice away...
Nice and informative, and although I believe the units have little effect, the test method used is not really done properly.
1- First of all, the frequency range of the SPL is selected to reflect our hearing range, so the meter might not be within range of the devices, and one should ascertain that it can actually measure in the appropriate range, Sub-sonic or ultrasonic. The unit shown is many for human range.
2- Most SPL meters have a range from 20Hz to 20kHz, and have weightings, i.e. roll-off filters that limit the bandwidth, known as A-B-or C weighted readings.
3- The sound emitted by each device should all be measured at the same distance. At the distance shown, there is a massive difference even at a half-inch, likely around 10-20 dB each time you even marginally move the microphone. Think of how headphones change in sound pressure when you even move them a fraction from your ears.
4- room noise is never deducted from the reading, The device outputs the reading you see. Room noise is irrelevant to the sound pressure level of the device you are measuring, except if the output is below residual room noise.
So to be honest, this test really didn't evaluate functionality, other than establish that either the mouse was deaf, or no longer cared and was really hungry. The mouse learned that the sound was just annoying, and not a threat. Sorry but you can't always believe what you see on the internet.
The old sound engineer....
1. Keith Vanderkley has rightly pointed out. I am adding few lines on redundancy of Sound Level Meter (SLM) test conducted. The pest repellers generate ultrasonic range of frequencies (usually, 20 kHz-158 kHz - audible by pests), which is higher than human hearing range (20 Hz to 20 kHz). Moreover, the SLM used looks like an ordinary one, which may not responsive for frequencies more than 8 kHz or 16 kHz. Metaspencer may check the specs of SLM and verify its actual range of frequency response. Interestingly, a pest repeller must be faulty if someone can detect any sound (either by physical hearing or with an ordinary SLM), as that repeller is not supposed to generate any frequency below 20 kHz. In that case, the device will be harmful for human being, since prolonged exposure to a noise within audible frequency will create annoyance, distraction and other physio-psychological disorders.
2. Effectiveness of any repeller can be assessed by practical application. Of course, any influencing factors (as also mentioned by Keith Vanderkley) must be excluded, which a bias the effect.
Great useful video, thanks a lot.. Wish I found your video before I bought the repellent.
well, better late than never
Its shocking to me that Walmart, Home depot and many other reputable stores still sell that nonsense. I have used them several times. They absolutely DO NOT WORK!! ITS A TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY!!
Leviatan Levi
May I know what brands you purchased? I was gonna buy from those two stores.
@Bud Black Do not buy any of them. They DO NOT WORK! you will be wasting your money
They said guarantee money back and u get to keep it if the device doesn't work as it suppose to do!! So no waste of money just time lol
No one is giving you your money back. Good luck getting your money back.
Bruh mines work they stopped scratchin in walls since i put mine up
The mice and bugs become desensitized to the sound. It's like when you hear a knocking in your car's engine at first you constantly hear it then after a few days it magical goes away. But it really didn't its just your brain tuning out the noise.
I have a better method. When I hear a rod knock in my truck, I just turn up the stereo with Kid Rock. No more rod knock.
Boom boom!
my bunny hopped out of my room when you tested the first repeller...i guess theres that.....
bunny! that's awesome
Well done my man!
5:35 best is Svinz with 20-40dB emission volume. Low cost ones were very little volume
@1:58-2:00 Looks like you have 2 spiders as well. 1 immobile to the left & 1 moving to the right. Watch closely for the change on the one to the right. (The one on the left is visible, but doesn't move.)
+RackAttackGamer ... good eyes!
It's kind of like my wife's nagging. I got used to it over time.
LMAOOOOOOOOO
Hahahaha
Okay, I laughed at that way more than I should have😂
😆😆😆😆
That’s pretty much what happens.
to test simply install a spectrum analizer app to your gadgets, it shows the frequency and the intinsity, sonic output of the device
Thank you so much for this video,I have 4 pest reject and the mice still come in my home!
Yep, it's a familiar story! I hope you solve the problem soon
I hope so too,I've change the way I store food and clean away all foods before bed so hopefully they leave soon
Well, even if the sound was annoying it was still worth enduring it for a free meal.
They Should Be Class Action Sued..
Damn Thieves..
So glad I watched your video, thank you for your research.
You betcha !
If they are ultra sonic that would mean they are super high frequency right? Based on info for stereo systems.... low frequency is referred to as low on no directional, while high frequency is directional. So I wonder how effective ultra sonic emissions are if the are uni directional. Meaning if the sounds is dispersed almost straight out of the emitter, do they have to stand directly in the path to be deterred by it?
Why do I see different numbers than what you are saying? Is decibels what we need to measure for these, anyway?
How about for bugs, like spiders, roaches, ants, fly's and mosquitos? I took these to the Philippines. And using a 500 watt inverter for each. I placed 1 in each room and 2 in the kitchen. I didn't see roaches any longer. They were behind a baseboard in the kitchen. A mouse came to my home in a cargo box I had shipped from the U.S. I used a glue trap and that caught the mouse in one day! Mice in the Philippines look lots skinnier and different than U.S. mice. I held the glue trap up close to examine the mouse before trashing it. The eyes looked black and the surrounding part looked like it was dripping white. No kidding, looked like someone painted the eyes and the eyes were watery or melting. Very odd and gross to a certain extent. But no bugs once I turned the emitters on at night.
ericlogos was that supposed to be funny?
Now you have witnessed , how you murdered a animal in a very bad way

Been looking for this roach with my brother for like 45mins and we just thought to look up audio of roach repellent and in likw within 2 mins no joke it came out.
Ha!
Here’s another suggestion, that I believe works like a charm!!
Order (or go buy at walmart, academy sports, dicks outdoors or whatever sporting goods store, or online) some Red Fox Urine (others have used Grey Wolf Urine, and some Coyote Urine, just depends what is available, cheap, and ensure that you select one for a critter that isn’t likely to live in your area so you aren’t “luring” one to your home!!) and it repels critters that are its prey (costs from $10-$20 for several ounces in a bottle or spray bottle, aka plenty for your purposes), as soon as they (mice, rate, raccoons, small to mid sized critters) smell the larger predator urine (and typically it gets dark enough as most are naturally nocturnal that they can hall buns), they evacuate where ever (your home, grarage, horse stable, etc.) in order to get away from whatever predator they smelled that might be around hunting and trying to eat them!
We used this solution when a raccoon decided to tear open a section and then hide under our porch outside and to ensure that it didn’t go under and stay under our house. Once applied, as soon as it got dark, that thing (the raccoon) could be heard ripped its way out and then it hauled you know what!, and never came back!!
You have to apply the urine to somethiing or directly to your house at the 4 corners (we did all 4 corners and then middle on outside our house along with our porch, so in 6 spots, 9 total so perhaps a bit of overkill??..LoL!!) the urine smells awful, and of course it fades with time and so must be reapplied regularly to continue to work. Also, you have to wait for a dry (non-rainy, non-wet day as water washes the scent away if applied on the outside of your house or if whatever you spray it on gets wet) day.There are various “scent keys” you can hang up that shouldn’t get wet if you hang them up off the ground or obviously where water or rain or water run off can not reach them (or get creative like we did as decribed below). Then reapply, it one week later, so 1x a week for 1 month. Then every 2 weeks, and then once a month, and repeat.
We decided to spray some onto tennis balls that we had driven nails into and we tied fishing line around the nail, so we could then easily attach the fishing line at one end to something on the side of the house. That way, we sprayed the tennis balls, tossed them under the house, and later we could easily retrieve the tennis balls by pulling on the string, and reapplying the spray and tossing them back under the house. Obviously, using plastic gloves, and definitely standing up wind!!
Also, you can spray the red fox, grey wolf, (large predator) urine onto cotton balls, and place around your yard or inside your garage or roof (it will stink!!), various sporting good stores, or walmart or online, etc. also sell “lure” scent traps for hunters, which are key/pin things that basically are or have cotton or cloth strips in a P or T shape and you can hang them whereever with string, the whole point is that “prey” are repelled by the smell of a large (in its eyes) “predator” moving in, so it immediately moves “out” as it doesn’t wish to be eaten. So, there ya go!...
Lastly, this isn’t a soultion for “inside” your home for obvious reasons. For the slow to comprehend, what I mean is that, because spraying animal urine in your house will make it stink to high heaven (even outside or under your house you’ll smell it to a point depending how thick your walls are or floor...aka mobile home verus a brick structure), and also, spraying animal urine inside your house isn’t exactly sanitary!...Trust me, the smell will drive you out before the grossness of it being unsanitary!!
This solution is safe for pets, although I’m not sure it they’ll be happy about it, but it definitely won’t harm them physically, because it is only smell/scent! And of course, other than the smell, and as long as you do not touch it, use plastic gloves and wash your hands immediately after applying it, etc.. it is safe for humans too!!
Let me know if you have as much success as we have had...(and what with, which type critter)...
Hopefully, this works for you too! Good Luck!
Wow! That’s quite a procedure... interesting!
Can I apply this pradator scent inside my two car garage? My two dogs live in the garage so will it drive them crazy? I'm having a mice problem because of the dog food. Can I get this scent on Ebay?
Video really did us all some justice and saved probably all of us money on those products and similar. i looked this up after seeing a mouse. Now i know i might as well get a pellet gun and stay up late in the kitchen, in the dark, with a bb gun and just wait for clear shot! Thanks for sharing !

Your video is the final nail in the coffin of my not buying any of these through Amazon today. Thanks!
Good choice! Don't be scammed
I'm not American so i don't know any of those, i had like one mouse in my home at least i only spotted them one at a time, i got 3 different traps but nothing, someone recommended a particular sonic repellent thing, so i got it the thing cost £25 on Amazon. It said in the instructions it can take upto six weeks for them to go as they are stubborn especially if they have babies. The first few weeks i spotted the mouse more at crazy times, the device was in my kitchen which is were they came in and i had a mouse bounding round my living room in broad daylight, i thought maybe its trying to get away from the sound, then i just stopped seeing it or seeing any signs from it, not seen or heard anything for a couple of months now.
Either way, it sounds like it worked out. Very good!
i recommend Shawn Woods' channel, where you can "digitally" shop for quite an array of mousetraps, both new and antique traps are tested by him every monday. the electronic lunchbox-looking one he did yesterday (~$100) would do you well, i think. or just go down and buy a 10-pack of good ol' snap traps.
the nights they didnt show they went to a buffet.
Thank you so much for making this video! You just saved me hundreds of dollars that would've been wasted.
Excellent!
That was my only hope to get rid of mice between first and second floor, as I don't have direct access to the space inside the ceiling. Now I don't know how to get rid of the suckers. They never show up in open space, I only hear their tiny steps between floors all the time.
+whez08 ... I guess you could put out live traps
Yeah i guessed , these devices are just good for the revenue generation for the manufacturers
You have to admit that the idea is a nice one.

+geoh7777 ... elegant and flawed
A rat in my house ate the whole poison cake and was still fine.
He should be allowed to stay then
Retro 🤣
I saw a deatmatch between a large rat and a snake today. The snake won, but died from blood loss a few minutes later
Wow. I'd love to see that on video
Great work, thanks!
Absolutely. Thanks for checking it out
I've worked Pest Control for 25 years. # 1 Find the door and close it.
What abt roaches in apt living??? Terminix comes once a week and nothing 🤦🏽♀️ any pointers on this?
@@journey9967
use roach killer in the tube. sure works. good for ants too.
@@journey9967 Bengal spray
@@jeffporter3667 I used to swear by Bengal, but it just slows them down now, doesn't keep killing.
Yes, I have a perfect and complete solution for you. It doesn’t work on mice unfortunately, but if your problem is roaches, it absolutely works on them. And if you have pets, it’s great because it doesn’t harm them. It’s called
Diatomaceous Earth.
It’s cheap, it’s amazing, and it works like a charm.
I moved into an apartment building once that turned out to be infested with roaches. Horrible. Asked the landlord to pay for spraying (even though I didn’t really want to, because I don’t think spraying hormone disrupters, etc, is good for us either, especially women). But I got it done anyway, and it did nothing.
Finally learned about diatomaceous earth. It’s so cheap, I gave a cup to all my neighbors.
No more roaches within 3-5 days.
Your device cant check over 12 kHz soynd frequency. On the other hand the ultrasonic repeller frequency is more than 20KHz .
So you wrong .
You cant check ultrasonic with sound meter tester.
Good testing. Thanks.
Thanks
2:55 You cannot add decibels by simple arithmetic addition, because they are logarithms. If you have two sound sources, each producing, say, 50dB at a distance of 1 meter, turning them both on simultaneously will double the power, and the doubling of power in decibels is 3dB, so the resulting sound intensity is 53dB, not 100dB, which you would get by adding the numbers together.
Interesting! Thanks friend
One thing you should know.....1 noise making 60 db and add another device making 60db does not equal 120 db. It would be 60 db. So your first device was actually putting out the registered amount. The higher number only cancels the lower so if it were dead quiet the readings would still be the same. just sayin
Well I had a mouse coming into my kitchen. I did a lot of research online , and ultra sonic pest repellents do work. First the brand matters. Also did you read the instructions? Do not use with an extension cord. Must plug into wall.
I downloaded a app to my phone and it worked great til I could get a three pack at Walmart.
With mine it says when you plug it in a wall it has to be horizontal. In other words with the two prongs side by side instead of on top of each other. Then it has to be at least three feet off the floor. I had to use mutli outlets to hang to get this to work. So far the front one works. I'm still figuring out the back one. But I also use a good inside/outside pest spray.
Which brand do uou recommend?
Many thanks for your experiment, so many confusing misleading products.
aren't those decibel testers used for subsonic sounds? how is it going to test ultrasonic.
I installed an ultrasonic pest repellent in the kitchen and discovered the roaches actually congregated around the darn thing like it had candy on it. Weird. Save your money.
Crazy! I’m not surprised
That will make it easier to kill them.
Thank you 🤔 Straight to the point
Bought Bell and Howell 9 piece pest repeller and after about 20 minutes I had to remove them from outlets because I have ringing in my ears and I was hearing high squeal. Evidently this works had to send it back. Was feeding birds now have mice. Nice.
Bummer! I’ve also tried some I can hear. Pointless
metaspencer Can't never be simple. Got TOMCAT trap looks like sharks mouth little peanut butter on edge and snap. Dump and reload.
Several ultrasonic companies were ordered by courts to provide reimbursements/refunds to their customers for false advertisement. I don't trust them, but to each their own. Hope it works for you.
Because they are scams. I can 100% confidently say those devices are nothing more than snake oil.
I work in a lab where we test the quality of sound equipment for various applications. We received hundreds if not thousands of such devices, all under various names, brands and re-brands throughout the years. None of them even work close to being advertised from mosquito, flee, mice, cat, dog to any type of rodents. At best these devices only create a simple placebo for it's users sold by snake oil salesmen and manufacturers for some quick and easy buck.
This made me laugh 😂 it’s clearly his stomach is taking over his ears 😅😅
Dang it, I just purchased the ones u plug in the walls. Next step I'm going to spray everywhere
IF ITS A FLY SPRAY OR OTHER INSECT SPRAY THAT WOULD PROBABLY WORK BETTER. IF YOU SPRAYED DIRECTLY ON A MOUSE WITH INSECT SPRAY, IT WOULD KILL THE MOUSE. WILD MICE TO INVADE OUR HOMES ARE THE BIGGEST PESTS GOING.
Awww such cute little furballs. Those are deer mice. Such the cutest with those big eyes
Cute, but deer mice can carry the Hantavirus, so be careful.
Nothing a pellet gun couldn't fix
I worked in an industrial plant. There were no edibles in the plant. That place was so loud you had to wear double hearing protection. The concrete floor hummed from huge electric motors running 24/7. No kill traps were everywhere.
We had mice. Not alot. Over 36 years working there I seen mice twice.
They were there.
Best thing for mice is a hungry cat. Well fed cats wont kill mice.
Interesting story! Yeah, we have cats in our barn and they are destroyers. Thanks for the story
They might have gotten used to the noise
If it's just a matter of Decibel Levels, get yourself a Pantera CD (I recommend "Reinvention of Steel") put it in your Boom Box and play it all night. that should get rid of the mice...or you'll have a mice mosh pit
Mouse party!
Thank you 🙏
