Ultrasonic Pest Control


by DoItYourself Staff

Ultrasonic pest control devices work by having high frequency waves emitted. These waves are composed of short wavelength sound waves. Although they can’t be heard by humans they can be heard by other small mammals and insects. An example is cockroaches and mosquitoes. They have antennae that allow them to pick up the sounds. There are many advantages of using ultrasonic pest control devices.

• They are relatively inexpensive and don’t have to be replaced often like pesticides.


• Ultrasonic pest control devices are also a much safer alternative to pesticides.


• Cordless so it doesn’t harm pets.


• Some come with an amazing 100,000 hours of use.


• Multi frequency devices offer more success.

Where to Place Ultrasonic Pest Control Devices

An important fact to note when choosing a place for your device is that ultrasonic high frequency waves stop when they hit any solid area. So you should ideally place the device near the area or tunnels they come in on. Also it is recommended that the device is not placed in the room where your pet resides. Ultrasonic pest control devices when properly used will help provide a safer way to get rid of pests.
