Product Description

Amazon.com Review

An environmentally safe alternative to poisons and chemicals and a humane alternative to mouse traps, this device plugs directly into a wall socket and creates ultrasonic sound waves to repel mice, spiders, fleas, cockroaches, crickets, and other flying and crawling insects. Sound waves in the 26,000 to 45,000 Hz range drive away pests without harming pets and humans, which cannot detect sound in this range. Suitable for midsized rooms such as master bedrooms and living rooms, this Weitech electronic pest repeller is effective in an area up to 1,000 square feet. An LED light shows when the device is operating. The repeller is encased in rugged, lightweight plastic and measures 5-1/4 by 3 by 1-1/4 inches. It carries a two-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Product Description

The Model 0180 offers a contemporary look that subtly fits into today's living areas. The unit works perfectly in larger rooms such as living or family rooms and master bedrooms. Emits ultrasonic sound ranging from 26 to 45 KHz.

4.0 out of 5 stars It works!, June 30, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Weitech 0180-B 1000-Sq. Ft. Plug In Pest Repeller (Lawn & Patio)
The Weitech 0180P Plug-In Electronic Pest Repeller works! I was starting to feel my small house was going to be overrun by mice, but I haven't seen hide nor hair (nor other evidence) of any of them since I started using this device. I was very skeptical of electronic pest control, having used another brand previously with no success at all, but a friend insisted this one had rid her country home of mice. The "variable frequencies" seemed an improvement over old technology, as did the promise that the noise from the unit wouldn't harm my dogs. (I could hear the sound waves bouncing out of the device I'd used years ago.) I tried it and got de-moused right away. It's important to remember that sound waves don't travel THROUGH walls, so you might need more than one unit, but they're really quite affordable.

5.0 out of 5 stars Creepy Crawlies Beware!, March 30, 2002
This review is from: Weitech 0180-B 1000-Sq. Ft. Plug In Pest Repeller (Lawn & Patio)
Get rid of the poison! These devices work amazingly well!

This model constantly cycles between high and low frequency sound waves. Low gets rid of mice and rats -- high gets rid of insects and spiders. You plug it into the wall like a night light or a room deodorizer. It is about the size of a deck of cards. It is white and unobtrusive.

The ultrasonic sound does not go through walls -- so use several in different rooms. Move them around occasionally to really confuse the critters.

I keep a Weitech 180 on the sun porch where the cat and dog food bowls live. Another model (Weitech 800) gets moved from room to room.

I live in the country, so every mouse family that comes by thinks my house looks like a good one to live in. The ultrasonic sound confuses the hapless rodents. This confusion is an incredible hunting aid for my 17 year old cat, Checkers. Just last fall she caught five mice in two hours. (Unassisted, her previous record was three in one night -- and she was much younger.) Poor unfortunate mice. R.I.P. They are really picking the wrong house move into if they choose mine.

These devices do not seem to be effective at keeping opossums from coming in the dog door. One old gentleman opossum was insistent that my house was a good one.... then I got a Jack Russel Terrier and he moved on. (Opossums are marsupials -- not related to squirrels, mice, gerbils or raccoons, etc. at all.)

Last summer a bat flew in the open patio door (a mouse with wings) -- I didn't stay in the house long enough to see if the bat was confused or not. I climbed out the living room window and went to the neighbors, screaming. It had flown back out by the time we returned so, maybe this device worked against it. I do not know.

I saw a snake outside last fall. I do not think these devices work against snakes either.

But for spiders and bugs and other creepy-crawlies, they are much more effective than any spray or trap -- and safer and cleaner -- get several! (And maybe a Jack Russel if you have an insistent opossum.)

5.0 out of 5 stars No more pests in my garage, September 10, 2003
By 
Thogek (Newbury Park, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Weitech 0180-B 1000-Sq. Ft. Plug In Pest Repeller (Lawn & Patio)
We bought a trio of these Weitech 180-B units shortly after a minor rat-infestation had been cleaned out of our garage, hoping that this would prevent such a problem (lately common in our neighborhood) from occurring again, as well as drive away the scattering of spiders, ants, and other bugs that seemed to favor the nooks and crannies of our garage. We plugged two of these in opposite corners of the garage, and one in the nearby kitchen.

In the several months since then, I don't think I've seen a single rodent, insect, or arachnid anywhere in or near our garage or kitchen. Further, our dog doesn't seem at all bothered by them (although he does think they make great chew-toys, so we have to be careful where we place them). I plan on getting a few more of these to scatter around the rest of the house.

Do note that, from the various reviews on these types of devices, it may be that the efficacy of any ultrasonic pest repeller can vary depending on location or other factors. (Some units purportedly work great for some users and terribly for others, etc.) But the Weitech 180-B seems to work very well in my house, and it would be the first such device I'd try in any new location.
