3 Popular Mouse Repellent Devices Reviews

By Martinette Rashardi


With so many products available to rid your house of mice, it can be hard to choose just one. One product that interests many consumers is sonic mouse repellent. Ultrasonic mouse repellent is a fairly new product which uses ultrasonic sound waves to repel house rodents. It offers several advantages over most of the other mouse repelling, mouse capturing and mouse killing products.

Super Sonic Mouse Repellent Product Pros

These mouse repellent devices are quite different from everything else that is on the market, offering numerous advantages, as below:

- Much more humane than adhesive traps and snapping traps - Absence of poisonous chemical elements offers enhanced human safety; particularly where small children, pets, or toddlers are present - Device users never need to bother with dead rodent disposal - Adaptable to combined use with other traps or devices - Effective for use in exterminating insect pests like roaches, in addition to mice - A single device is capable of eliminating several mice

Sonic Mouse Repellent Device Drawbacks

Although known for its numerous advantages, there are some downsides to this product, as well. These should be carefully considered prior to making the purchase:

-Takes six to ten days to show results -Must be replaced every one to six years -Ultrasonic rodent repelling noises are not able to get through furniture or walls -May need to purchase more than one device to be effective

The pros and cons of ultrasonic mouse repellent implements remain consistent despite the particular product brand you ultimately decide to purchase. Retail prices for ultrasonic rodent repellent devices typically range between $6 and $20 USD for residential units. Heavy-duty commercial or professional-use devices might cost hundreds of dollars each, however. The sections featured below reveal the respective benefits, drawbacks, and product specifications of several sonic repellent device brands.

The following section examines the pros, cons, and features of several different brands of these sonic repellent devices.

The Victor PestChaser

Victor has a long history of making anti-mouse products so it is no surprise that they have decided to make a sonic one as well. Their sonic repellent devices can be bought in several different configurations, and their prices vary depending upon where you purchase them. However, you can expect to pay around $21 for a pack of three small ones.

Reviews show that this is not a great product, although some claim that they achieved successful results. The positive testimonials came from those who lived in smaller homes or apartments. One consumer claimed that he saw two mice run directly toward the product, however.

Riddex Sonic Plus

Riddex Sonic Plus

This brand sells for a similar price as the Victor. You can buy a three pack for just under $25. According to the manufacturer, these can work in relatively large areas, and each unit can be effective for up to 1000 square feet. However, they do not work through walls so unless you have an open floor plan, you will need to install different devices in each room. They plug directly into wall outlets, and each one has a side outlet built into it. Thus, users do not have to worry about losing outlet space to this product.

Most users are happier with the Riddex sonic mouse repellent than they are with the Victor. Many of them claimed that they were able to effectively rid their homes of mice while using this product. The only complaint seemed to be that the product made a slightly annoying clicking noise every few seconds. However, that noise was not that loud, and most users found it less annoying than their rodent problems.

In comparison to Riddex or Victor, this unit is available at a slightly higher cost, where one unit retails for approximately $20. It features a surge protector, an operating indicator light, and can double as a night light.

Like its other featured counterparts, Pest Offense mice repellent implements emit varying sound frequencies to avoid rodent accustomization to a single sound. Its noise is much safer for household pets like hamsters, cats, spiders, and guinea pigs. Most online product reviews are favorable.

One reviewer talked about his experience with the sonic mouse repellent, which he purchased for use as a bug repellent for use in Hawaii. For each level of his home, he installed a unit, and he claimed that his home was almost bug-free for about two years. Only after this period did he start to notice a couple of cockroaches each day. According to his claims, without devices, he may have been witnessing a couple of cockroaches each minute. He decided to replace the devices, and the cockroach problem that was starting to develop anew was put to rest quickly.

Ultrasonic mouse repellent products are very useful tools in the rush to rid one's home of pest infestation. As wide product variations and features do exist, however, carefully consider device placement relative to nearby furnishings and walls prior to installation.
