Works great but doesn't cycle between frequencies!, March 30, 2002
This review is from: Weitech 0220-A 1500-Sq. Ft. Plug In Pest Repeller with AC Adapter and Battery Back Up (Lawn & Patio)
A friend that was having a major pest problem. (You know it is true love when you go shopping together for roach motels, yes?) We'd had good luck with the smaller model Weitech 0520 -- but needed more coverage. The critters had moved from the kitchen down a long hall to the bathroom. (brrr!) So I went back and got this model too -- thinking bigger was better!
However, where the smaller model constantly cycles between high and low frequencies, this model has a switch. It is set at high or it is set to low. Low gets rid of mice and rats -- high gets rid of insects and spiders.
So! If you have 4, 6 AND 8 legged critter problems, then this is probably not the right device for you -- or maybe you want to buy one and set it to high and buy another and set it to low.
It does have the advantage of operating on battery or AC power... so if you have a crawl space or attic without an electrical outlet, then this would be the device to buy. But get one if you have a rodent problem -- plus another if you have a bug problem.
They really do work. Amazingly well.
My friend moved this one out to the garage where the four footed creatures were getting in the dog food. He then bought two more of the smaller models (Weitech 0520) and moves them around the house.
Hadn't seen hide nor hair of the critters since.

mice build resistance, March 6, 2004

This product I thought was a godsend. However, the mice built up a resistance, it seems, to the sound emmitted. You are able to hear the noise and although it's easy to ignore, it's easy to hear at night.

squirrels, bugs, mice. . .you name it!, January 11, 2004
This review is from: Weitech 0220-A 1500-Sq. Ft. Plug In Pest Repeller with AC Adapter and Battery Back Up (Lawn & Patio)
This has been the most effective and easiest method of pest control I've ever used. Just recently, my husband and I got one for his mother, who was having trouble with squirrels getting inside the kitchen ceiling. As soon as she plugged it in, the squirrels disappeared. It's been over a month now, and she hasn't detected any squirrel activity.
Really, if you feel poison is inhumane, or hate using traps, this is your best bet--a definite godsend for the critter-squeamish!
