1.0 out of 5 stars Completely worthless, March 23, 2008

By	J. Hess (Brooklyn, NY) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

We purchased two of these units direct from the company, and after a couple of months of use, we have noticed that not only have they not solved our roach problem, but roaches seem to be drawn to them. Any time of the day or night there are roaches on, around, and behind the unit. Frankly, it's creepy.

We try to keep a clean, sustainable, chemical-free home and don't want to use poisons around our pets (or ourselves), but honestly, don't waste your money on this.

1.0 out of 5 stars SALE OF THIS ITEM BANNED!, July 9, 2008

By	SugarCrafter - See all my reviews

In 2003 the FTC required proof of RIDDEX's claims. From what I have read, the product has since been banned from sale. The ads still run on some cable channels for which they will likely be fined. I imagine they will continue to sell the product until the fines outweigh the profits. Here is the government FTC report:

There are other, more detailed accounts of this subject if you google it.

My personal experience with this type of product has not been good. I purchased a similar product from Home Depot. We got it because we noticed a mouse in our bedroom. We plugged the unit in, and within a week the house was crawling with the rodents! It is as if the thing ATTRACTED mice rather then repelled them! I could hear the device when all was quiet. It made me edgy and I found it difficult to sleep. We didn't have children at the time and decided to use Decon. Poison was not our ideal solution but it worked. The mice, all of them, were gone inside of a week.

1.0 out of 5 stars Garbage, July 11, 2008

By	My name is Morris "My name is Morris" (New York, NY) - See all my reviews

This product is garbage. Period.

I have never written a review because I felt it was a waste of time and energy. Maybe if I would have read some of the earlier customer thoughts I would not have made this finacial mistake. Its not the money, its the principle although if they get $25.00 out of you and $25.00 out of me and $25.00 from her............... I'm sure you get where I am going with this.

Why are these people in business? It will take a collective effort to have products like this and businesses that sell them SHUT DOWN.
Angry- no.
Dissapointed- Incredibly

How do I rate Riddex Plus- Is garbage, trash, useless a actual rating? Do not waste your money. Trust me.
