I can't understand how such a product is sold. Imagine any other thing simply not working? You buy a blender, plug it in and nothing happens? Unimaginable.
LOL... loved the "little flip" at the end. I had always suspected the ultrasonic mouse repellers were pieces of junk. It's nice that you've done the research, with video evidence, to settle that matter. These idiotic things should be taken off the market. They're nothing but a scam.
You have to plug an electromagnetic repeller into the wall socket for it to send electromagnetic waves through the home's electrical circuit to irritate mice. It won't work if you plug it into a power strip. I've had mine for years, and it has kept mice out for good.
I bought two super-powerful neodymium magnets about 7 years ago. They were 2" by 2" by 1" and had a 250 pound lifting capacity. I picked up one magnet and accidentally got it within one foot of the 2nd magnet. The 2nd magnet launched itself at the magnet in my hand. Sparks flew and both magnets were chipped and dented. Unfortunately my thumb was between the two magnets. My whole thumbnail turned black and fell off over the following week.
The electromagnetic / ultrasonic repeller worked great. We had 🐀 RATS. Maybe because u put it in the barn it wasnt as effecfive? It works with the electric circuits in the walks of the house. Not sure a Barn has the same type of electric circuit system. Antway. It has truly worked. Asong as it has both ekectromagnetic / ultrasonic. Abilities and placed on the outer facing walls of the home. Not one wall all walls. Add more if needed. Depending on the curcuitfirmation of ur home. It acts like a forcefeild. We live in rural area. This has helped beyond measure. Our barn not so much but less. Ty . Still live this channel. Its helped alot.
When the LEDs came on, it made it look like a face going "( ° o ° ) THERE'S A MOUSE! ( ° o ° ) CHIPMUNK! ( ° o ° ) A RAT! THAT'S A RAT! ( ° o ° )" Of course, that's all it did.
It’s strange because I am an ardent mouse trapper and have bought many of the traps Shawn demonstrates. I started using these US things about 2 years ago and I have gone to just one mouse in each of two properties a year. That is down from 4 to 5. Certainly not a rigorous experiment but I have to say I’m convinced. My fun other traps aren’t killing any mice? These are both houses and interior settings. Did get a squirrel chewing my electrical wire outside with that cool Koro trap!
Thanks alot Shawn, I was wondering about that very rodent repeller. Glad you tested it and showed the real results. So far no repeller works. Electronic that is. Thanks Shawn.
Thanks for flipping it😄 I knew it! One of the tv shopping networks had the audacity to put these products on their show with fake experiments and were able to sell a bunch.
I'm really surprised companies would even put their brand name on garbage like that kniwing full well that it's garbage. The one rat making a nest was practically hugging the thing. Shawn, what you should do is send it to an electronics expert on RU-vid to dissamble and show viewers how the thing couldn't possibly deter pests.
Yep. Lots of brands or their names were bought, which is a shame because it destroys so many years of pride that went into something. One example is Rockwell. That used to be a really good brand back in the day. That name was bought by the Chinese and is sold all over now even though Rockwell quit manufacturing back in the very early 80s.
No, of course those ultrasonic ones don't work. Think about it, the speaker is the size of a the ones inside a cheap pair of headphones. Get a $5 pair of headphones and turn the volume ALL the way up and hold them 6-12 inches from your head, see how (not) annoying they are just a few inches from your head. Now speakers in the hundred watt range might be effective, good luck finding a premade one though. The electromagnetic part is even more ludicrous, the wires in your home's walls will produce more intensive electromagnetic waves, that doesn't stop rodents from chewing them, why would it bother them in a wall wort package. Really hate the people that sell these things, they make the POS for $0.30, sell it for $30.00, and it doesn't work at all.
I am writing to you from Colombia, thank you for sharing so important information with us. I work professionally in the control of plague species ... your experience has been very valuable to us. Thank you!
I bought 5 of these and put them in my garage. About a month later I threw them in the trash when I found a funnel web on the unit, the spider was using the unit for their home.
We had a mouse problem one summer at the kennel I worked at. Those ultrasonic things have never worked. The following summer we had a snake problem... No mice whatsoever. I'd rather have the snakes honestly because you can just pick them up and carry them outside.
WarOnCOD depends on the snake. Wouldnt recommend picking up rattlers or corals without a hook or tongs and tube! (Never use tongs on a live snake as you can crush the buggers spine!)
Mr Slinky dragon I've boiled so many snakes to death. Any time I come across one I put it in a secure box. Then go outside and bring a huge clear pot to a boil. Then I put the snake in with tongs and hold the lid shut. It's crazy the color the water turns.
You have food sitting there for them though. These things annoy pests it doesnt scare them away. The chipmunk very obviously responded to it but it had food so it was worth being annoyed
On the package of one of these, it said not to expect overnight success but that it will irritate them generally over 4 to 6 weeks upon which they wear down and realize it's not a temporary thing snd avoid the area deeming it just not worth it - something like that. Do you know if this is true? (so far it doesn't look like it) Thanks! 😎
it wouldn't surprise me if majority of consumer ultrasonic repellars don't work but it hasn't convinced me it's not feasible; I bought an ultrasonic measuring ?thing? at a thrift store that I noticed emitted a high frequency sound that acts distinctly different than mouse repellars, normally when pointed away from you, it can't really be heard but if it hits a wall or reflects at the right angle(or point it directly at ya) it's quite clear and pronounced as a fast repeated clicking sound and other tone.... although further :P testing has to be done(need multiple occurences), I had a bit of success getting a mouse to scurry away out of my room by pointing it at the bottom of some furniture I believed the mouse to be; as for if it was directly result of the ultrasonic tone or by circumstance is to be determined
Thanks for testing this type Shawn. I have one in my kitchen I spent about $20. I have seen multiple posts about them not working. This is shameful these sharlatens are allowed to sell such devices that don't actually work at all.
Awesome, honest video guy. Bell & Howell probably ought to stick with cameras. But I'm not sure I trust them on those now. Thanks for exposing their false advertising. Hope lots of folks watch your video. Thanks again. Ron ( a retired old B.S.E.E.) Dang!
I have seen ultrasonic repellents work on dogs, one zap and it took off in the other direction. But that is coming from a stranger, on your own dogs that just hear the sound, it's just a sound. The idea behind ultrasonic repellents, is to repel them from where they are nesting by making it unpleasant and harder to sleep with 24 hour non stop loud unpleasant noise and so they might look for better accommodation. Whether this works or not I don't know but for short term exposure when food is involved, as we have seen, it does nothing; food trumps noise. They would be more suitable to use in homes that have been invaded and used for nesting, rather than exclusion from a food source such as a barn.
My girlfriend says she had one that works great in her house. But she said it wasn't this brand, didn't have ultrasonic on it as well, and really only worked on rats inside of a wall where the wiring is. She said the deal is a plug it into the wiring in the wall and the wiring in the wall is protected
I need some advice Shawn, I have a rat that I cant catch or kill. Any trap I use he completely avoids. Spring traps, live traps. He’ll eat my bait everywhere except near the traps. I wear gloves whenever baiting the traps, and still no luck.
That looks like a Neotoma spp., which is a New World species of rat. I would not expect them to have the same response as Rattus spp to devices like this. Have you tried on an actual Rattus?
It would be kind of fun if you sent the thing along to someone who does the "take it apart to see how it is made videos". Bigclive could use his bench XRay machine on it.
We have one of these and shockingly they work amazingly for ants... We had an issue with ants coming into our house and after putting some of these around food near exterior walls. They have disappeared!
I know one I had didn't work. My live gravity type trap, was near the ultrasonic device and I still caught mice with peanut butter. I let them go outside. Such cute lik buggers.
I used one back in the 90s. It wirked on the centipedes that infested th house i was renting. So much that i remember the pepil next door comenting on how many more centipedes there were that year.
I had something like this that was a spike you put in the ground to keep chipmunks and moles away. I sent a picture of it with a chipmunk on it eating seeds to the company and they sent me my money back.
we have an issue with them being in our bedroom west wall, not in the house. heard them nightly and a few times during the day..after a month of this... got 2 noise repellents plugged them in, in opposite sides of the house..both combined say they cover 3,000 sq feet..our house is less then 2,000. so they should cover it all. 1 in the bedroom the other in the living room. and actually didnt hear anything in the wall for 3 weeks solid. then heard a little rustling one day and the other day in the evening there was quite a bit. (until i turned on 1 of the you tube repellants ..each time i use this one the noise stops w/in 2-4 mins.and stays gone for days at a time, sometime weeks.) but none since. wonder if they had a litter then moved them out..so it was every night to not as often. we have also put out bait stations, snap traps, glue strips..but in the 3 weeks we laid those out they havent been touched. we replace old bait, move them a little and they are under the house, in the attic and garage. we were informed they work through the walls. meaning they wont work in the room you put them in. but will go through that walls it is plugged in on and will be heard in the walls if you have an issue in the walls. maybe nothing eats the bait cos nothing comes close enough to smell it..
Gotta buy one of those devices. Never seen a happier rodent. In fact I'll purchase 10, 1 for every room. Hell , just love seeing Rodents having a Party😂
Sound-emitters do not work as far as I have seen, and if a rodent is used to eating in a certain spot, that would make it more-difficult to keep the rodent away from that spot. If a sound-emitter were going to work against rodents, it would work only in a spot where there is no food for the rodent, if it ever would work at all. Good videos Shawn, thanks. Very useful.
Here early just to say how much I love you and your videos even tho I don't exactly need them, but you are such a nice guy and I can't help but imagine me and some other fans around a fire with you, listening some of your stories while you knap something! Tons and tons of love [and likes] from Brazil! ♥
It’s a good thing I didn’t buy this the other day when there was a mouse in my house. These people are screwing people these devices should not be on the market.
That's hilarious, sadly I only found your video because I wanted to see if there was any way to test if sound was being emitted as we can't hear it. So they could literally sell you a plug with a little LED on it and that's it.
Ive had 2 incidents in a week of rodents chewing my electrical harness in my car. That cost me $2500 in total repairs. Ive scoured the web for a solution. Irish Spring Soap...debunked, Ultrasonic repellent....debunked. Peppermint Oil! yeah! Thank you for your research and actual demonstrations. You saved me $$$.
