Ultrasonic pest repellers are not hard to use.
In fact, most general ultrasonic pest repellers work as a mouse repellent too. But to use these repellers for pest control effectively, you need to follow some few tips.
- Keep pest repellers in plain sight:
If your repeller is blocked by an object like a sofa or a fridge, it might not be effective. Here’s why: sound waves have a short wavelength. They cannot travel very far and cannot pass through solid objects.
A good rule of thumb will to be position it in rodents’ line of sight. That is, rodents should be able to see the pest repeller as they move around. Of course, they won’t suspect anything.
- Use more than one repellent:
One repellent is not enough to control mice in your home, especially when you have a lot of furniture in each room.
Ultrasonic waves cannot pass through the walls. They also cannot pass through your ceiling.
Do you see why one repellent is not enough for even a story building?
If you have 100 square meters of space, then you need at least one repellent. For garages with about 1,000 square feet, one repellent is enough as there is more room space.
You need an ultrasonic pest repeller for your patio or outdoor relaxation areas too. These repellers are quite cheap, so a few hundred dollars can get you a sizable number.
- Scrutinize your progress:
How would you know mice repellers work if you don’t check them ?
Regularly check on areas where you installed these repellers and observe if you are making any progress.
Are you seeing fewer mice and their droppings? This could be a sign that your ultrasonic mice repellent works.
If you see no progress, switch the repellent to a place where you observe a lot of mouse activity and make sure it’s not being obstructed.
