The Victor® PestChaser® Rodent Repeller emits ultrasonic frequencies that send mice and rats scurrying. The device uses varying frequencies to prevent rodents from getting used to the noise and to keep them from returning.

In theory, the sound that ultrasonic and subsonic pest repellers make is so upsetting to the target pest, that it keeps them away from homes. Instead of going near the device, they move away from it. . These ultrasonic pest repellers can work in different ways based on the frequency of the device and the manufacturer.

And it varies so the mice don't become accustomed to the sound. It. Says it's economical. And uses less than a penny a day of energy cost easy to use just plug it into the wall.

Our PestChasers® will typically last 3-5 years. If the indicator light is still illuminated, rest assured that the unit is still working well to produce the ultrasonic sounds and repel the rodents from your home!

Open the lid and empty it into the trash. If using refills discard the entire chamber into the trash and attach a new one to the trap. With the victor electronic mousetrap.

Despite manufacturers claiming ultrasonic machines affect all these different species, well-constructed research supporting these claims is scant. For instance, a study on how ultrasonic pest repellers affect bed bugs found that bed bug activity did seem to change slightly when the devices were running.

Various studies have found that ultrasonic pest repellents do not repel pests. Sound-based repellent might sound good in theory, but it doesn't seem to hold up in practice.

On average, an ultrasonic pest repeller lasts from three to five years.

According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), exposure to ultrasonic pest repellers over time can cause the following symptoms:

• Sleep Disturbances.
• Tinnitus.
• Headaches and Migraines.
• Dizziness and Fainting.

While it's true that an ultrasonic pest repeller will have some impact on pests (including rodents), this effect is usually short lived. Within a few days, mice and rats grow used to the sound. Before long, it loses its effect on them completely.

In most cases, you can expect to see a significant and noticeable reduction in pest activity within one to two days. The exact timeframe depends on the pest we're dealing with along with the choice of materials necessary to provide the best long-term results.

Just plug a charger-sized device emitting undetectable sound into the wall, wait about 2 weeks, then BAM, your garage oasis is insect and rodent free without the use of chemical pesticides or inhumane traps.

They don't work 100% of the time, but that's not really the traps fault. You must take care in how you set it, where you place it, and check them often. Mice are VERY crafty and can strip a trap of it's bait and not trigger it if you aren't craftier.

The Victor® Electronic Rat Trap is the ultimate in rodent control. It works by delivering a humane, high-voltage shock to kill rats that enter the chamber. This powerful device is capable of killing up to 50 rats per set of fully charged batteries, making it a great value when you're dealing with a sizable infestation.

That's according to an extensive study called “Ultrasound and Arthropod Pest Control” by Kansas State University. Cockroaches exposed to ultrasonic frequencies move around a bit more than usual, but they don't seem to be bothered by the sound.

Ultrasonic devices are claimed to emit high-frequency sounds that are too high for humans to hear but are just the right frequency to drive pests, including mosquitoes, away. The trouble is, there's no proof that they work. What's more, the FTC has investigated several sonic repellent makers for false advertising.
