I have the indoors pest repeller from the company Carrie linked to. It doesn't seem to work very well. The mosquitos don't seem to mind it. And some little bettles or baby roaches hatched in the kitchen, and the only thing that's getting rid of them is the traditional roach bait. Plus it's supposed to also keep centipedes away. And we had the one in the house for days. My son kept telling me it doesn't work, and I kept saying sure it does, we haven't seen on big roach. But my landlady bug bombed 3 times before we moved in, and plus her gardens have lots of centipedes,and they eat roaches.
I had read reviews at Amazon (but who knows who is really writing them), and then talked to a sales person at the company. There was one question she didn't answer. There seems to be a flaw in the logic of how this explained to work.
We're told that the first two weeks the repellers plugged in that we will see an increase of pests as they leave the walls.
They say this is because the electromagnetic part that works with the wires in the walls, creates a disturbance that pests perceive as warning of a storm, and so they seek shelter in the house.
And then after about two weeks, they become uncomfortable enough with the ultrasonic waves indoors that they leave the house.
Once they split, we're not supposed to see any more bugs (unless down the road some eggs hatch).
So my question was, if it takes two weeks for them to want to leave, what's to keep others from entering the house? Ok, I can buy they might now want to enter through the walls, but what about other entrances. She couldn't answer me, and I should have known then.
Now, that I've read the article you posted toucano, I'm even more skeptical. It comes with a 30 day guarantee, but we're told we won't see the effects for two weeks, so that just leaves two weeks to get it back to them.
And most of us probably want to try it a bit longer in hopes it'll work lol.
In all fairnes, they did say one in each room is best, and we just have on in the kitchen/living room area. However, I put it in my son's room for a few days, and those tiny mosquitos were still finding ways into his room and making themselves right at home.
