Are you tired of sharing your home with uninvited guests like rodents, or do you have a bird problem and the mess they leave? Here at PestGo2, ultrasonic pest control offers an innovative and humane way to keep these unwanted critters at bay.
In this blog, we’ll dive into the science behind ultrasonic pest control and explain how it works.
What is Ultrasonic Pest Control?
Ultrasonic pest control devices emit high-frequency sound waves that are inaudible to the majority of humans over the age of 18 but highly irritating to various pests. These sound waves target the auditory and nervous systems of pests, causing discomfort and prompting them to leave the area.
The frequencies typically range from 20 kHz to 65 kHz, well above the upper limit of human hearing. PestGo2 has selected the specific frequencies that particular pests hate so we can focus our units to suit your needs, moving on a particular pest without affecting other animals too much.
How Does It Work?
-
Plug and Play: PestGo2 ultrasonic pest control devices are easy to use. Simply plug the device into an electrical outlet, and it starts emitting ultrasonic sound waves. All models come with automatic variable frequency switching to target specific pests, preventing them from getting used to a single frequency.
-
Sound Waves: The high-frequency sound waves create an unfriendly environment for pests. Unlike traditional pest control methods that use chemicals or traps, ultrasonic devices rely on sound waves to deter pests. These sound waves cause confusion, disorientation, and discomfort, driving pests away from your home or property.
-
Coverage Area: Each ultrasonic device has a specific coverage area, usually around 15m from the device in a cone shape. For larger spaces, multiple devices may be needed to ensure comprehensive coverage. It’s important to note that ultrasonic sound waves cannot penetrate walls or solid objects, so placing devices strategically is key to effective pest control.
-
Safe and Eco-Friendly: Ultrasonic pest control is a non-toxic, eco-friendly alternative to traditional pest control methods. It doesn’t involve harmful chemicals, poisons, or traps, making it safe for use around children (although they may hear the sounds), pets, and the environment.
Effectiveness of Ultrasonic Pest Control
While ultrasonic pest control devices can be effective in repelling certain pests, their effectiveness can vary based on factors such as pest species, device placement, and environmental conditions. Some pests may become accustomed to the sound over time if the units operate on a single frequency, reducing the device’s effectiveness.
However, PestGo2 units run through a group of frequencies that helps keep the deterrent effective. For optimal results, it’s recommended to use ultrasonic pest control in conjunction with other pest management practices, such as sealing entry points and maintaining cleanliness.
Please note however, as with all pest control, if you have an easily accessible food source for the pest, you will always have a problem!
Conclusion
PestGo2 ultrasonic pest control offers a convenient, humane, and eco-friendly way to keep pests at bay. By understanding how these devices work and using them effectively, you can create a pest-free environment without the use of harmful chemicals.
Remember, the key to successful pest control lies in a holistic approach that combines multiple strategies for the best results.
