The Grail: An Electronic Pest Control Device
I’ll be up front about it: electronic pest control devices do not work as advertised. Any and all electronic pest control reviews I’ve read have come to the same conclusion. There are a myriad of reasons why this is true, but basically it comes down to the same thing, sound is not a weapon.
Pests are if anything adaptable. Those electronic pest control devices that advertise they use sound don’t take that into account. Pests can get used to sounds so they will come right back. Further, the electromagnetic versions operate on the same false premise. These vibrations sound or electric do not offer enough disruption to cause any real deterrence.
What Should You Do
If you want an electronic pest control device that works, get a bug zapper. These have been around for many years and are very effective against flying insects such as moths and mosquitoes. The creepy crawlies and the vermin are another story. No sound or electromagnetic wave will keep them from creeping into your house. Instead of using some electronic pest control device there are a few things you can do to keep unwanted pests at bay.
Keep your house clean and in good repair. This will make sure there is no easy way in and no readily available food source there for the pests. If the pests can't eat and drink, they are less likely to hang around. A little common sense goes a long way.
Also, make sure cracks and crevices are properly sealed off. A physical barrier is better than any barrier put out by an electronic pest control device. It always pays to have a good caulking gun handy when you need it.
If you need something organic consider traps and lures that use natural ingredients to combat pests. Sticky tape is a good deterrent to bugs. It traps them and they are easily disposed.
Instead of wasting your hard earned money on electronic pest control devices that don't work do you your homework. Make sure you know what you are dealing with and don’t be afraid to consult a professional. It is always best to be safe rather than sorry. If you have to shell out money do it with an eye toward effectiveness.
