Near a person there is always a mass of parasites -these are small rodents, cockroaches, bedbugs and many other representatives of the fauna. Among all this diversity, the greatest harm to humans is caused by rats and mice. While these are two different species that in nature never cross and compete for territory (rats always displace mice), they cause the same damage to both human health and its property. Both those and others are carriers of a dozen diseases, they eat the same products. Mice and rats do not so much eat part of the supplies or utterly inedible from the point of view of man things, how much they spoil them. In general, we can say that these are unpleasant neighbors.
With rats and mice it is possible and necessary to fight. But this is a very difficult matter. They easily adapt to changing conditions, quickly learn to avoid danger. It is especially difficult to fight rodents when their colony has already reached a large size, and there are many attractive and affordable products in the room where they are located (granaries, barns, food stores, etc.).
Many people struggle with small rodentscats-mousetraps. This is a good way, but it does not always work - sometimes the rodent population is too large for one predator, besides, there are such large specimens in it that they themselves can hunt for a poor cat.
Another way is to mice and ratstoxic chemicals. Not humanely, but effective. The downside of the method is that it is not worth it to conduct such a procedure yourself - it is better to invite a specialist. In addition, there is a risk of poisoning your pets.
Mechanical means are also effective. Not 100%, but the result is very good.
The most modern way to get rid of rodents -these are ultrasonic scarers of mice and rats. Reviews about these devices from the buyers are different: there are people who are completely happy with the purchase, but others are not too happy with the result. Let's try to understand.
Ever since school days, everyone remembers what isultrasound. We remind you, those who forgot: ultrasound called sound vibrations of high frequency - above 20 kHz. A person perceives sounds up to 20 kHz, so sometimes he can catch these waves (when the frequency of the wave is close to the susceptibility boundary). Scientists have proved that with age, when the eardrum thickens, people lose this ability.
The limits of the susceptibility of rodents, moles and even cockroaches are much broader. They perfectly feel ultrasound, and it makes them feel uneasy.
Ultrasonic repeller of mice and rats worksby this principle - it emits sound waves with a varying frequency, and the rodents leave the room. Such devices are often additionally equipped with light bulbs with a variable mode of operation (blinking light also irritates rodents) and sound accompaniment. These functions (light and sound) are not intended for living quarters, because because of them, not only rats, but people, will leave the house.
For example, here are a few models from different brands for comparison.
1. Electronic repeller "Chiston-2 360" - impact area - 300 square meters. m., the radiation is directed in a circle. The frequency range is 20-70 kHz. The price is 1500 rubles.
2. Ultrasonic repeller of rats and mice "Grad A-500" with adapter - area of influence up to 500 sq. M. m; Circular radiation, operates at temperatures from -30 to + 85 ° C. The price is 1780 rubles.
3. Repeller "LS-925" - area of impact up to 185 square meters. m., Circular radiation. The price is 1400 rubles.
As we see, prices from different manufacturersapproximately on the same level. The cost of the device is affected in a greater degree by a set of characteristics: the area of influence, power, the availability of additional functions, the duration of battery life, the temperature range.
Now about the terminology. Electronic repeller of mice and rats or ultrasound is the same device. You can still hear the definitions of "innovative", "electric", "modern". The essence of this does not change, since all similar devices operate on a single basis. They help not only in the fight against rats and mice, but also with moles, rabbits and other small pests. The main thing is to use the repeller correctly, and for this you need only read the instruction. It says where best to place the device, in what area it is effective, how to choose the mode of operation, etc.
Positive feedback from buyersquite a bit of. And not even all of them look like a veiled advertisement, which pleases. Many people note that after switching on the device, the rats left almost immediately, some of them - after some time. However, there are buyers who claim that the device has a negative effect on pets. This is logical, since cats, dogs, and other pets feel ultrasound well. The only way out is not to place the device in the places where pets live. For example, you can install appliances in the basement and in the attic - the result is the same, but the cats and dogs will not suffer.
There are many negative reviews. Buyers note that the device did not have the slightest effect on the behavior of mice (they walk directly over the device, and nothing), nor on the population. Even additional functions do not help, but only irritate the people present. So can scares of mice and rats really help? Feedback from consumers suggests the opposite, so try to address the proven facts.
1. Ultrasound is also found in nature, for example, in the rumble of a waterfall, the noise of the surf, the whistling of the wind, so it is not worth talking about its complete dislike of animals.
2. There are no scientifically proven facts that the electric repeller of mice and rats causes panic in animals. Anxiety and irritation - yes, however, one can not say that rodents are terrified of running away from ultrasound.
3. The effect of the device affects the location of its location - it is best such devices operate in an ideally empty space. Any object dissipates and partially reflects ultrasound, sound pressure drops, and, consequently, the efficiency of the device decreases.
Taking into account all factors, it can be concluded thatThe device is worth buying, if you can properly place it. If even with a competent installation it did not show any results at all, then most likely the device is not working properly, or you are faced with a cheap counterfeit.
