Product Description

Rats and mice pose serious health risks, but traps and poisons come with a heavy price. Poisons can endanger children and pets while inhumane traps require the handling of potentially disease-bearing rodents. Neither poisons nor traps provide long-term protection since more rodents will likely replace the ones you've killed. It can be an unending cycle. The PestChaser Electronic Rodent Repeller puts the emphasis on non-toxic prevention, instead of after-the-fact toxic intervention. The PestChaser emits high frequency ultrasound waves between 32 and 62 kHz to create an acoustically hostile environment that repels rodents from sound-protected areas, over the long term. It's kinder than traps, safer than poisons, and inaudible to people and non-rodent pets. New handy 4-pack provides coverage for 4 rooms (i.e. kitchen, living & family room and garage or basement) each up to approx. 800 square feet. The Direct Plug-In fits discreetly into any unobstructed wall outlet and works best in rooms where there is a visible electrical outlet unobstructed by furniture, drapery, or other objects. Not recommended for use with an extension cord.

5.0 out of 5 stars Trapping Goes Up When You USe The Product!, April 30, 2004

By A Customer

Its easy to misunderstand the application of ultrasound. Trapping ratios actually go up when you put these units in. This is because the sound creates a great deal of auditory stress on the rodents. So they get confused and cannot fool the traps, etc.

I too had mice which I thought were gone. But they were only out of sight. Acutally they had nested below. I lived in a trailer. When I put the units in, I was able to trap out the existing population. Having the units in place prevented new rodents coming in and taking up residency. So plugging in the units and seeing mice in the traps MEANS IT IS WORKING!!!!! Read the complete directions as the company throughly explains it.

5.0 out of 5 stars confirmation, August 5, 2006

By 

Mimi (Round Pond, ME USA) - See all my reviews

My observation regarding the first 2 reviews is that the 2nd confirms the claims of the first reviewer.
I've had these repellers in every room of my house and garage.
Result: no mice.

I've twice sat in my kitchen and seen mice poke their noses around the corner from a hole under my pantry cupboard, turn around and leave. There is no mouse scat or damage in my pantry.

However, I've continued to have a problem with chipmunks in my gardens and stone walls which neighborhood dogs tear apart trying to reach them. I recently put one near the wall and strawberry bed. The chipmunks have moved out.

I find them very effective.

4.0 out of 5 stars Seems to work..., November 25, 2008

This review is from: Mini Pestchaser Electronic Rodent Repellers 4-Pak

The name "MINI Pest Chaser" certainly fits.
When they arrived they were much smaller than I thought
BUT seem to work. I have a 102 yr old house and there's probably rodent entry ways that I can't see and don't know about. All the obvious ones were addressed. Anyway I decided to buy the mini pest chasers because I wanted to create an atmosphere so unfriendly, that any rodents would just leave and find a home else where. Killing with traps was a dead LAST resort for me. I hate to kill if there is an alternative. So the pest chasers arrived and looked much smaller than I thought they would BUT they truly seem to work. I made it clear that the message in this house was to GET OUT while you still can. Seems to have worked.
As always, THANKS for reading my reviews and be well. The WebbMan
