Do Pest Plug In's Work for you?

[ Edited ]

Is there a bug and rodent  ultra sonic type repellent plug in that really works??

 

I have tried a couple of these before and they didnt work.

 

I cannot have chemicals and toxic sprays used! I am super sensitive.

I've tried three or four different brands and found them disappointing, to say the least!  I'm allergic to spider bites so really hope to find one that works! I'll be checking this post often.

Years ago, I fell for the Ridex spiel.

 

I gave up when I saw a spider crawling over the unit.

They are not designed to deter all insects, mostly rodents like mice.

In my old house it got worse before it got better. They saw it increases activity at first and they were right it brought them out of the walls. It was awful but then they disappeared.

No, they don't work.  At one time the FTC said they were taking them off the market.  I don't know why they didn't.

I swear by the DynaTraps.  What a difference they have made outside. We live next  to woods so there was always so many things trying to bite me and the dogs. I purchased a few plug in sonic wall outlet devices for the garage and patio door area. They seem to be working fine and no "buzzing" from the device.  

I also purchased a solar sonic divice for our front porch area that is to deter small critters from running near our front porch/garden area. It works fairly well.

I'm not crazy about traps and having to bait items. I just want to sent them back into the woords. There are more and items available even at the local hardware store. I try one at a time so I can see if it really is going to do the job for me. My biggest benefit has been from the Dynatraps.
