I am looking for a bit of information on the ultrasonic/electromagnetic pest repeller devices. Desired answer shall include: 1. Review of ultrasonic and electromagnetic (EMF) pest repellant devices -- most interested to know whether they work, and what the dis/advantages of each are. A link(s) IS sufficient here. If there is a consensus that one or a few devices are "the best", I'd like to know which. An overview article is greatly preferred to a bunch of amazon.com review links. 2. I need to know whether these devices are safe for fish, and specifically invertebrates such as snails. |

I would urge caution here. The Federal Trade Commission has indicated that these devices may be ineffective. http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2001/05/fyi0128.htm I don't know whether they will harm your snails, but it appears that the ultrasonic gizmos have little effect on the pests they are supposed to repel. |

Thanks for the comment. I have since read a few consumer reviews of such devices, and they've been generally negative. One stated that it had no apparent effect on the pests in their house, and they actually observed a mouse walking right under the device, apparently unaffected by it. This person went on to state that the best thing they've found for this purpose is liberal use of Lysol on surfaces where insects or rodents are usually found. |
