I hate termites. They've been swarming in the Bay Area lately, and the thought of them quietly chewing in the darkness through the foundations of my home really creeps me out.

Does exactly what it's advertised to do. I've bought a second box of them for a total of 6. Every winter the field mice come into the house under a garage door. I don't intend to deal with them any more, and so far the product seems to be taking care of the situation!

this product is reasonable in price but is a good deterrent against bugs inside the house.

GNATS. They're annoying bugs. From late Summer into Fall, they seem to come around, particularly if you have houseplants.

I tried the typical household liquid dish soap and water in a sprayer thing. It wasn't really effective. Other mail-order stuff was great, but only temporary as a solution.

Finally, I just tried this Hot Shot Kitchen Bug Killer (it has botanical insecticides). WOW - this stuff works FAST - just spray it in your window sill or on the top soil of houseplants and in less than 20 minutes, these suckers are gone! :D Whoo!!

In the beginning of having this product I knew I would still see some activity. But good lord, it been almost four/five months of having this product and I couldn't believe how many mice I was seeing!!! I had to call pest control to fix this problem. When the pest control guy came, he found three mice (two baby mices on one trap, and another baby mouse on one other). I couldn't believe my eyes!!! After he put steel wool in small holes he found he put down bate and glue traps. So far I have one mouse still in my house. This mouse must have eat the bate because when I saw it in my living room...I walked in and it wasn't moving for a good 15 seconds (I thought it was died), while it was looking at me, then the mouse slowly made a unturn and went the other way...I can't wait that mouse to die so I could be relieved. I told my friend about this product and they told me that it will bring in pest then make it go away...when I got home from hearing that I took every last one out!!! This product is a waste of money!!!

I purchased these products and installed at several places where we noticed mice droppings, hoping to finally get rid of these unwanted guests. These had been there for weeks now and still we're getting visits from these pests. So I put in glue traps that worked better as they caught these vermins one by one. My advice: Don't buy these so-called ultrasonic devices. They don't work!

I was reluctant at first about any ultrasonic pest controllers so I purchased this one due to it's three pack value. We live in a two story triplex and the neighbors brought cockroaches with them. After about a month of use we have noticed a drop off in visible roaches. We still see one once in a while but not as frequent as before. It seems to be working. We have cats and a dog also that aren't effected by this product at all. I would recommend anyone with pests to at least give it a try.

I bought Riddex plus a month ago, very expensive- for 42 euros in Carrefour, Barcelona, Spain Before that I tried Raid Max, Boric Acid and then, while still seeing dead roaches on the floor and nearly fainting from screaming, I plugged Riddex plus in on top of that, just in case. It does make an IRRITATING ultrasound noise EVERY 30 SECONDS. It is in fact it can be heard by humans, and is enough to make you crazy. I don't know if Riddex plus keeps roaches away from my place - I haven't seen any for more than 1 month, but this noise every 30 seconds doesn't make any sense: Whoever I speak on Skype, or telephone they also can hear it and ask me: What is that irritating noise....? So I don't get it, Why does it say that it is only irritating roaches and rats? That is not true, it is irritating me and my friends too, very much.

It's always been me vs the squirrels near our bird feeders. So it was with great anticipation that I install this deterrent of last resort. It was with amazement that the following Saturday morning I saw three squirrels dancing around the deck about three feet from the Bird-X YG Gard. I adjusted the settings, and they were back for more fun and frivolity. And it continues. So at this point, I must say this product does not work as advertised.
