Ultrasonic Pest Control - Worth It Or Waste Of Money? Monday, August 10th, 10:30 PM
Ask The Pros: Does Ultrasonic Pest Control Really Work?

Martinez, United States - August 10, 2020 / Horne's Pest Control /

Pests are unsightly, dirty, and can be harmful to your health. And when they invade your home or business, you may try anything to get them out. A quick online search for DIY pest control will give you a variety of options and one of them is ultrasonic pest repellant devices. These devices supposedly work by emitting a high frequency that humans cannot hear, but drive bugs and rodents crazy, forcing them to leave your home. Sounds legit right? Well unfortunately, that's not the way it works. The team at Horne's Pest Control wants to warn consumers about the ineffectiveness of these devices and encourage homeowners to look into other pest control options.

Rodent Control that's better than ultrasonic repellant

A study done by the United States Department of Agriculture and the National Wildlife Research Center over two decades ago actually debunked these devices, yet they still can be found in a large variety of stores and websites. Another study was published in 2015 by the University of Arizona, that again concluded these devices do not work. And finally, the Federal Trade Commission, the government agency in charge of consumer protection, began warning against these devices as early as 2001.

But, Why Are They So Popular?

Although research concludes that these devices do not work, some report that they may have some effectiveness for the first few days. However, pests quickly become accustomed to the sound and will come right back. Another reason for their popularity may be their price. And while ultrasonic pest repellers can be ordered online for less than $20, their price corresponds with their effectiveness, which is next to nothing.
