Benefits of Ultrasonic Pest Control
If you’ve ever blown a dog whistle, you understand the basics of the science of ultrasonic pest control. The idea of ultrasonic pest control is that by emitting bursts of high frequency sound waves, it’s possible to repel pests that will be annoyed by these extremely high sound frequencies. Just as you can’t hear the noise created by a dog whistle, humans are also unable to hear the sound waves used in ultrasonic pest control devices. According to scientists. However, many different types of animals and insects are able to distinguish extremely high-frequency sound waves, from roaches and ants to mice.
How Do Ultrasonic Devices Work?
Experts say that beyond 20,000 Hz, the human ear is unable to distinguish sound. However, that’s not the case with a variety of pests, including many insects such as roaches and termites. The idea is to make life as annoying as possible for your pests. Ultrasonic pest repellers can interrupt mating rituals and make it just unpleasant enough in your home so that the pests look for a location without the high-pitched noise. Many ultrasonic manufacturers alternate the tone their devices put out to maximize the disruption. Most of these devices simply plug into an electrical outlet and send out their high-pitched impulses throughout your home or on and around your patio outside the house.
One More Pest Control Tool
There are no ultrasonic pest control supporters that are urging homeowners to ditch all of their repellants, fencing, insecticide and chemicals to rely only on ultrasonic devices as the ultimate indoor and outdoor solution. The devices don’t work on all insects and animals, and it’s important to test out the devices to see if they work on the pests in your home. However, as an additional tool to protect inside your home as well as your lawn, vegetable garden or simply provide some freedom while outdoors, ultrasonic pest control can be a valuable addition to your pest control products.
Invisible Pest Control
The last thing you want are roaches, ants or other unwanted visitors inside your home. Deciding what sprays and chemicals to use can be messy, smelly and bad for the environment, not to mention any pets you may have. Baits take some time to work, and the pests are not under control until they are removed. By putting out ultrasonic pest control devices, there are no slick spots in your home to avoid, no areas that smell like roach sprays for much of the rest of the day. It’s like turning on a switch and getting the benefits of invisible pest control.
