It is no secret that there are many ways to control rodents, such as using poisons, setting mousetraps and glue traps.

This list lacks another method that, unlike those listed, can boast not only its effectiveness, but also its humaneness.

We are talking about the use of ultrasonic repellents in the fight against rodents.

Their operation is based on the fact that the device produces sound at a frequency above 20 kHz.

Due to the fact that the human ear is capable of perceiving sound vibrations in the range from 15 to 18 kHz, the device affects pests without causing any inconvenience to people.

But sometimes there are complaints about ultrasonic repellents, related to the fact that they do not perform the functions assigned to them.

The thing is that mice and rats have the ability to adapt to any negative conditions in a short time, including discomforting sounds.

To prevent this from happening, it is recommended to use devices with a floating frequency.

Because it is constantly changing, rodents simply do not have the opportunity to adapt to the sounds emitted by the repeller.
