How it works

The Ultrasonic Pest Repeller targets a variety of pests, including mosquitoes, ants and rats, using electromagnetic and ultrasonic sound waves that only pests can hear.

The device doesn’t use any chemicals, meaning it’s both kid and pet-friendly. It also doesn’t require you to clean up a mess like other ant and mouse traps leave behind.

The pest repeller comes in a 4-pack and covers up to 7,000 sq. ft. If you’re looking for an immediate fix, you should know that this gadget takes 15-20 days to deliver the best results.


What shoppers are saying

This set of ultrasonic pest repellers has received mixed reviews from Amazon shoppers, earning a 3.4-star average rating from more than 1,000 customer reviews.

Those who were impressed point out that one of the major draws is that this pest repeller is pet-friendly; "The cats aren't at all bothered by these," reads one review.

One shopper raved that "these keep the mice away" without the need to use "harmful poisons," while another reviewer shared that this repeller works well for both ants and spiders, saying they're "gone" after a week and a half.

Another reviewer says they become "bug bait" in their countryside home — and this pest repellent makes a "huge difference." They've tried "sprays for the yard, personal sprays and fans" but that this "beats them all combined."

Another pro of this product is its simplicity, with one shopper expressing that you just "plug [it in] and go."

Despite the positive reviews, some Amazon shoppers are expressing frustration with slow results. Some shoppers say it's a "waste of money" and "doesn't work right away."
