When homeowners are troubled with insects or rodents in the house they need to find a solution to this problem before it gets worse. Most methods of eliminating pests involve the use of toxic substances or mechanical traps, neither of which is a particularly comforting presence in a home, especially if there are children or pets living there. Ultrasonic pest control gives customers a safe alternative to these traditional approaches that does not pose a risk to health or safety.

These electronic units can either be plugged into a wall outlet or run on batteries. Many different models are available to choose from, some are even designed for use on campsites or in recreational vehicles to keep unwanted animal visitors away. They are sold in hardware stores, garden centers, and online.

These machines work to keep insects and rodents away from a property by emitting sound waves that have a short wavelength and high frequency. Such high-pitched sounds can only be heard by these small creatures whose hearing systems are very sensitive and are not detected by the ears of humans or most house pets. It prevents pests from becoming an issue as it makes the house uninhabitable to them.

This method of pest elimination is a particularly good choice for families that have pets or small children whose safety is a major concern since there is no need to place potentially harmful traps around, or have toxic substances sprayed around the premises. The ultrasonic equipment is simple and safe to use. In order to operate them, they need only be plugged in and left to perform their duty of deterring insects and rodents.

It is important to provide each room where pest control is required with its own transmitter unit since its range is limited to about thirty feet.Furthermore, obstructions such as walls and furniture can interfere with this transmission so for the best results it is recommended that each room be serviced with its own transmitter.

Generally the ultrasonic equipment will not bother pets, although it should be understood before one goes out to buy this system that it can have a negative effect on those animals which belong to the rodent family and have more sensitive hearing such as rabbits, guinea pigs, mice, rats, gerbils, and hamsters, so it's not suitable for homes where these pets live. However, it will not affect dogs, cats, reptiles, fish, or birds.

Not only do people not have to be concerned with their pest control measures harming their young children, it also eliminates the need to kill the creatures and raise the health issue of their decomposing bodies remaining in the home and requiring removal. There are no bodies to deal with since the animals will simply stay away from the property to begin with.

Customers can also save money by opting for ultrasonic pest control as it eliminates the need for subsequent applications as chemical methods do. It works by preventing the problem in the first place, which works out to much less time, money, and stress down the road. Always reading consumer reviews on any system before buying it is advisable since some are more effective than others.
