If you’ve got mice or rats in your house, get them out fast. These critters can multiply quickly and do a lot of damage. They don’t just eat your food, these pests eat through electrical wires and destroy your walls too.

 

After you rid your house of the rodents, you’ll want to ensure they don’t come back. Here’s the secret behind effective mouse repellent: sounds waves.

 

Sound waves? Yep, you read right. Sound waves can be used to repel rodents. This post will explain how.

 

Ultrasonic Devices Work on Rodents, But Not on Pets

 

There are ultrasonic devices on the mouse repellent market that work effectively. These are the ones backed by the decades of laboratory research and successful field testing.

 

They use high frequency sound waves humans can’t hear, but drive rodents crazy. The best ones use 80 oscillations per second, which sounds like a jackhammer in the rodent’s ears. And even though it’s excruciating for the rodent (making it an excellent form of rat control), it in no way affects dogs, cats, birds or fish. So the pets you have won’t be driven mad.

 

However, if you have hamsters or guinea pigs, simply keep them out of the room. If you put them in a different room, they’ll be safe from the sound waves because these sound waves don’t travel between walls.

 

 

Get the Most out of your Ultrasonic Rodent Control

 

Some people complain these devices don’t work. Either they don’t have a good one (see above for what makes them effective) or they aren’t using it correctly.

 

The sound waves are absorbed by soft surfaces. If you put your ultrasonic device behind a couch or curtain, it won’t be as effective. Also, since the sound waves don’t go through walls, you’ll want to install them in multiple rooms. This will ensure the rodents don’t just take refuge in a different area of your house.

 

Like any mouse repellent, ultrasonic devices should be used as a part of a larger rodent control effort. This means you need to pack your arsenal with various mouse control methods from good sanitation, such as frequent wiping down of counters, to proper exclusion methods, such as sealing any holes in your house. You’ll enjoy a greater success in your rodent control efforts if you combine multiple ones.  

 

Why an Ultrasonic Device?

 

Not only do they work well, ultrasonic mouse repellents are also humane. Unlike traps and poisons, rodents are left unharmed. These unwanted visitors are simply conditioned to stay away from your home because of the annoying sound waves they hear.

 

In addition to being humane, they are also easy to use. You just place them and that’s it. No traps to set and check. No poison to sprinkle around. It’s simple.

 

And when you compare it to other methods, ultrasonic devices are cheap. One unit can last up to 7 years or more.
