Why You Should Use Ultrasonic Pest Control Devices

By Jayne Rutledge


Although there are many techniques used in controlling infestations by pests and rodents, some of them are unfriendly, ineffective, and unlawful such as poisoning of small wild animals like raccoons and squirrels. Using ultrasonic pest control technique is friendly to the small critters and keeps them away from your house. Small critters in your home can cause a lot of damage and disturbance, and it is important that you put in place sustainable and effective pest control measures.

These devices release high-frequency sound waves, which deter the creatures from inhabiting your premises. These devices are used to cause irritation, confuse, and intimate pests that are within the range of the frequencies. The sounds emitted by the devices do not cause harm on animals but instead they make them uncomfortable.

In addition, raccoons chew wires and expose your electrical cables. It is essential that when you detect or see such animals, you seek for ways to keep them away. When this creature wants to get somewhere, it will create a path by ripping a hole directly in a roof, ceiling, or wooden wall. Presence of squirrels in a house should not be entertained either.

Squirrels are equally as destructive as raccoons when they find their way inside a house. These animals are classified as pets because of their behavior of living in houses. Where there is a squirrel, the homeowner is likely to complaint of the creature living in the attic. Squirrels can be disturbing because they tend to gnaw on anything they find. Squirrels gnaw continuously as they try to sharpen their teeth and keep them short.

The risks of leaving chemicals in open areas and the issue of injuries from traps can be addressed by use of the electronic device. The device works pretty simple. When you place it in a socket, and switch it on, it released supersonic high-pitched frequencies, which create sound. That sound is painful and it is detected by small animals and insects.

When the squirrels enter the attics of your building, they will cause a lot of damage by chewing on anything including the ducts, pipes, wires, and ceiling. One disturbing thing about these creatures is the noise they cause when running above the ceilings and in the eaves. But, the chewing is more of a problem than the running.

Besides, the animals bring in nesting material, which can be a fire hazard when placed in the chimneys. If squirrels nest inside chimneys, they may increase the chances of chimneys fires because of the dry materials and debris they bring in when making their nests. With the presence of creosote, a substance, which is flammable and deposits on walls of chimneys, the debris brought by squirrels can easily trigger chimneys fires.

In order to prevent these animals from finding a safe haven in your house, you need to seek way to make them uncomfortable. Using the electronic device can create frequencies that scare them away. With the ultrasonic pest control devices, they can enable you manage the infestations by small creatures and insects in your home.
