An annoying advertisement for ultrasonic insect repellers appears everywhere. Manufacturers promise a miraculous disposal of different types of parasites - just turn on the device and no more insects will disturb. The proposal sounds very tempting, because everyone wants to simplify pest control, not to carry out any treatments and not to use insecticides. How effective is the ultrasonic flea repeller for home - let's understand.
On the effect of ultrasound on insects
Experiments on the effects of ultrasound on animals, humans and insects are ongoing. Ultrasound refers to frequencies above 20,000 Hz. They are not audible to the human ear. Mosquitoes, when moving their wings, emit a characteristic sound that resembles ultrasound and warns nearby "relatives" of imminent danger. So the first repeller appeared mosquitoes.
The remaining insects do not use ultrasound for communication and how the electronic flea repeller works, remains a mystery. It can be assumed that ultrasonic waves affect fleaas on rats, mice. Ultrasound provokes disturbances in the nervous system of rodents and acts on them like a powerful speaker system. In the first days, the repeller’s inclusion field, they begin to behave strangely: they move slowly, fall into traps without bait. Unable to withstand a constant ultrasonic attack, mice, rats leave their habitable places after 3-4 weeks.
Ultrasound is able to create uncomfortable conditions for the insect, but nothing more and this does not mean at all that when you turn on the device in the network, the flea will rush out of the way. A person will not change his place of residence, only because the neighbors once loudly turned on the music.
Feedback
After reading reviews about the ultrasonic flea repeller, I decided to buy one in the house. Moreover, in advertising they promised its effectiveness against all insects, and mosquitoes and cockroaches are visited quite often. I ordered an electronic device in an online store. After 2 days, the goods were delivered, and I decided to try the acquisition. I was immediately confused by the small noise that the device made when I turned it on. I was always sure that the ultrasound was not heard. The device worked for 5 days, after which it burned down safely. I didn’t do a census of fleas, but I felt that they were no less. I'd rather be Dichlorvos bought, the effect would be more.

The only ultrasonic repellers that can really scare away fleas are professional rodent control devices. The device consists of several ultrasonic wave generators and a control board. They emit high frequencies that expel pests. But as already mentioned above, rodents are in no hurry to leave their burrows and the breeding process takes from 3 to 4 weeks.
These devices have proven themselves in relation to insects. But they are not suitable for domestic use, they are forbidden to install in residential premises and especially in bedrooms. The most popular and effective models of repellers: Chiston, Grad, Tornado.
On a note!
Ultrasound is safe for humans.But as a result of the experiments, it was found that a long stay near the switched on devices with high frequency provokes headaches, irritability and deterioration of well-being.
Ultrasonic repeller selection criteria and popular models
In order not to be disappointed in the purchase and avoid unnecessary financial expenses, when choosing a model, you should pay attention to such factors:

- To remove fleas in basements and attics, the permissible temperature conditions for the operation of the device should be taken into account.
- Territory coverage. Instructions for use usually clearly indicate the range of the repeller.
- The price of the device. An ultrasound device cannot be cheap.

To get rid of the rats in the cellar, we purchased an ultrasonic tornado repeller. It is designed for 400 square meters. m. The dimensions for such a powerful device are small and weighs only 500 g. The device coped with rodents. When my mother-in-law was leaving for the resort, she asked me to put a repeller in her apartment, because a cat found fleas. Cat processed, and using effective drops and they took it to themselves, and put the device. Occasionally they went only to check it just in case. Three weeks later, the mother-in-law returned and was extremely pleased - the fleas disappeared.

Ultrasonic flea repeller for dogs
A flea repeller for dogs looks like a pendant that attaches to a collar. After activating the battery, the device starts to work and emit waves of 40,000 Hz. Manufacturers claim that the tool has several advantages:
- the device is non-toxic and safe for use;
- allowed use for pregnant and lactating females;
- no additional maintenance required;
- one battery is enough for the repeller for 1 year;
- convenient and easy to use, does not require additional settings;
- not afraid of splashing water;
- works silently.
However, there is one nuance that causes bewilderment. The result will be noticeable after wearing the ultrasound locket for two weeks. If the range of ultrasonic waves has a deterrent effect on fleas, then why the effect does not occur immediately? If we were talking about insects that are in the terrarium, and they would regularly succumb to the effects of ultrasound, it could be assumed that the nervous system of fleas was depleted in 2 weeks. But given that the dog walks on the street and every day completely different individuals come across its path, it is at least unreasonable to talk about any cumulative effect.
The result of wearing an ultrasonic collar can be achieved for only one reason. To protect his pet from blood-sucking insects, the owner processes the animal with drops or spray.It is this tool that protects the dog from fleas and ticks.
To buy an insect repeller or not, everyone decides for himself. But still it is worth remembering that it is better to destroy parasites, and not to scare them.
