Types of Ultrasonic Pest Control Devices

If you want to keep pests away from your home, you can use ultrasonic pest control devices instead of traditional poisons and traps. Ultrasonic devices provide you with a safe alternative for pest control that is not dangerous to children, and is a humane way to rid your home of pests.

Ultrasonic Pest Control Devices

Ultrasonic pest control devices emit a high pitched sound that is unable to be heard by the human ear. However, common household pests can hear the signal that it gives off and do not like it. The theory behind this type of ultrasonic pest control is that household pests will avoid the area where the ultrasonic pest control unit is located and flee to a different area to avoid the sound.

It is important to use as many units as needed to secure your entire home if you are using an ultrasonic pest control device. It is recommended that you use one unit for every two rooms in your home. If you do not have enough units, the pests will simply flee the area where the units are located and settle in another part of your home where there is no ultrasonic unit present.

Electromagnetic Pest Control Devices

Electromagnetic pest control devices use the existing wiring in your home to change the magnetic field within the home in a way that alters the nervous system of common household pests such as mice. This will not harm the pests, only cause them discomfort, which will make them want to flee your home for relief from the symptoms they are experiencing.

Like ultrasonic pest control devices, you will need to ensure that you place enough units around your home to protect your entire home so that pests do not flee to another area within your walls. These units are slightly stronger than ultrasonic units and one unit per floor of your home should be sufficient in repelling common household pests.
