I've read that researchers conclude ultrasonic devices do not work. I do have personal experience with sonic devices however. Sonic devices send out a chatter that mimics a rodents distress call. These sounds are audible to the human ear also. They don't kill the rodent but for my experience will drive them to another area. The one I purchased has a range of about 30 feet in every direction, so it would take multiple units to clear a large area of your lawn. Is you're protecting a small area of lawn or a small flower garden it would probably work okay.

Do pest repellers work?
No, pest repellers do not work beyond a narrowly defined target area but yes, they do work within their identified range. They nevertheless will be particularly effective in conjunction with row covers and sticky traps.
Do ultrasonic pest repellers bother chickens?
They hear 125-2k Hz. In comparison- a human hears 64-23,000 Hz, so it shouldn't. Before you buy one though, they have been tested by experts and don't appear to have long term benefits for any pest type(s).
What are the best electronic pest repellers?
My experience with electronic pest repellents is that they do work. I have used them to keep possums and rabbits out of vegetable patches, birds and also kangaroos out of orchards. They emit a sonic type frequency that the target animal doesn't like, it doesn't cause them any harm or to humans either. The noise is undetectable to humans. Be Happy, Barry
Does a bell and howell pest repeller work?
No, don't buy any of the electronic repellers. Although some provide short term benefits, none has been proven thus far to work long term. Many of the big pest cos. have already tried them & no one is using them.
How many bell plus howell ultrasonic pest repellers are needed per house?
They don't work. i would advise against.
How long are the pest repellers effective and how do you know that they are still working?
Some may work short term but how long depends on the pest. They are more effective for mammals than insects, but not for long. That is why pest companies don't use them. If they worked, they would sell them to you-trust me.
What is another form of bother?
Are you talking about synonyms if you are here they are: pest, annoy, irritate, or bother(lol).
Does the riddex electronic pest repeller stop working?
The Riddex pest repeller produces high-frequency sound waves that are harmless to humans and pets (except rodents), but which are heard by insects and rodents and are supposed to drive them away. This may sound good in theory, but it doesn't work in practice. At best, electronic pest repellers may work for a few hours or days, but they apparently have no long-term effect on pests. Also, many people claim that they can hear a whining and/or buzzing noise made by the repellers. After numerous complaints, the company that produces Riddex agreed with the FTC to not make certain claims as to their product's effectiveness. You can read the agreement on the FTC site: http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2003/07/global.shtm
