5.0 out of 5 stars The best defense against roaches, May 31, 2002

I hate to admit, but we have roaches! Actually, we HAD roaches until last week when I purchased this product. I had tried everything: sprays, bombs, traps, etc... But nothing worked. The first day I plugged this little device in, there was such a great increase in bug activity that my kids wouldn't go into the kitchen. By day 3, the roaches were GONE! I don't know where they went, and I don't care. This device saved my sanity.

UPDATE 2: These devices have had no adverse effect on any of my animals. I have a dog, 2 cats and a bird (Sun Conure Jenday mix...small parrot). No one seems the least bit bothered.

UPDATE: My home appears to be insect free at this time. I will tell you, I did purchase another unit and placed it upstairs; however, I really don't think it was necessary as my home is only 1200 sq ft. I'm such a "phobe," I felt it would be better to err on the side of caution. In any case, I really am free of insects. I haven't seen a spider, ant or cricket since installation.

I bought this item after being bit in the face by a spider while I was sleeping. It was not a pleasant experience! We stirred them up after poking around in the attic during an afternoon. I was finding the nasty buggers everywhere until I got this unit.

Since plugging the Bugfighter in, I've not seen a spider, or any insects, on any of the 3 levels of my home. I have one in the basement and one in the upstairs hallway. They've been running about 2 months now. We've even re-checked the attic, and not a spider to be found. I'm in Northern VA and we're coming into Spring now. It will be interesting to see what happens. Usually I get crickets and a bout with ants and termites as the season kicks off. If I don't post an update, you know all went well and there were no insect battles this year. If I have ants and/or termites...you'll be the 1st to know!

Specific point...no noticeable change in electric bill for 2 months of use.

4.0 out of 5 stars Better than bugs, January 24, 2008

We live in a condominium. Our upstairs neighbor started keeping frogs and brought in (against village ordinances) live crickets. Well, soon all of the residents were finding/killing crickets in their units. Since (at that time) no-one knew where the crickets were coming from I bought one of these devices as a deterrent.

It worked well. Our cricket sightings went from 6-8/day to merely 1-2/day. Since the source of the cricket infestation was directly overhead, I believe that no device would be 100% effective but this did deliver a significant improvement.

Ultimately, the Department of Health and a number of stiff fines caused our neighbor to cease importing live crickets into our condominium ... and I have since unplugged this device. But, if you find bugs in your home that you cannot explain, this is a reasonable way to deal with them until you have an explanation.

Remember: it's not (always) your fault! (But this device will help until you find resolution.)
