Great product! Zapped most insects in my home.,
By Steve Morty (Tennessee) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I live in a new construction home, and was having problems with roaches and spiders coming in from the outside. I am located near a wooded area, and having other homes still being built around me didn't help. After plugging in this unit, I noticed within a few days about 20-30 dead roaches and spiders. There were so many that I need to vacuum the entire first floor of my house. I was so impressed that I purchased another unit today for the upstairs. I haven't seen a spider web or roach since! I strongly recommend this product!

Might be worth a try for Termites,
By A professional sprayed outside my bedroom and inside as well. I kept the door shut for a few hours, we slept in the living room and the termites continued for two more days at various times. One day they did not show up until 5 pm, the next day at 1pm. They were roaming the walls, on the bedding, carpet and window. I used a roll of masking tape to cover the windows with many sticking to that surface. Even though this specifically states "for use against mice, rats, spiders & ant" I made the purchase due to desperation and the cheap cost of only $19.99 at Rite Aid. Electrical outlet spaces are limited in my house so the bonus for me is the unit has a built-in auxillary AC outlet. This is located on the side, so when you plug it in you could actually plug in a radio or alarm clock in the side compartment. It is a gray unit that is larger than a night light. This is under three inches wide and over 4 inches in height. The plug is high up in the back, which leaves the unit hanging below. Depending on how high your outlet is this could be close to the floor. This is an indoor unit, not to be used outdoors, avoid rain and moisture due to electric shock. The directions are a bit misleading and confusing regarding the ultrasound waves. They changed their mind when it comes time to discuss warranties. It also states that the pests can get accustomed to this and it would not work. I moved this into my bathroom to combat an ant problem and it worked, but there was a spider on the wall near the unit. The termites did disappear and this is still plugged in. The red and green lights flashing are bothersome so place it behind you so it will not disturb your sleep. Warnings for the Sunbeam Ultrasonic/Electromagnetic Pest Repeller include people with pacemakers or anyone who uses medical devices. The red light goes on and off intermittently, the green one flashes on and off. Since the lights are both going on and off the unit is working and not malfunctioning. Another key point is the humming sound that emits from the unit. It is not really distinguishable unless you are within close proximity of the unit. This will be noticed when you are using a higher outlet. While in the bathroom I did note the sound, in the bedroom I just saw the lights flashing. I did notice that we had power problems after I plugged this in, but the temperatures were really high and that happens when full usage is at peak performance. I have power surges at most of my outlets and not really any room for further units at this time. I believe this is an average product that helped eliminate to a degree the ants and termites in my home. The fact that this is specifically for ants and spiders though and they were in my home while the unit was plugged in means I probably needed more units or close the windows. It was cheaper for me to move the unit to other outlets to try to extinguish the pests. In a way I feel like I am tricking the pests that might be getting used to it housed in one location. When they get comfortable in the walls waiting to appear, I move the unit to another room for a day or two and then back to the bedroom to surprise them.

does not work,
This product does not seem to work at all. It makes a constant buzzing noise that, while nearly imperceptible, can be quite annoying. I find more spiders near this device than almost anywhere else in my house.
