In a large house, does it make sense to put one electromagnetic rodent repeller in the garage and one in the attic (where the mice are active)?

From my memory of the instructions, they cover 1000 sq ft. And one is needed for each level of the house, and one for seperate room additions. If you have mice in the house they will not leave thru the walls after you get these plugged in. No new ones will come in but your current furry friends will need to trapped and put out.

I won't live anywhere without them again. I had one quit working this past fall and didn't realize it until I saw mice. Got a new one (other was almost ten years old), caught the mice that moved in and all is well.

I find that I put one pesticator on each of the outlets that have individual wires.(Going to the switch box)

I haven't had much luck with this product. I have one down stairs and one on the main floor. I finally had enough of the mice and just bought Decon and got rid of them that way.

We've put one in the attic, one in our crawl space, and one on each end of a 2,000 sq. ft. ranch house. No problems.

I have them in the garage and around the house. Not in the living room or bedrooms. Its a little quiet clicking noise, but not loud. I had it in the living room, but I kept focusing on it rather then the tv. Maybe because it was new. Probable could eventually tone it out. See a few mice in my detatched garage, but mainly dead ones from the poison tabs I put in there. No mice ever in house. Dont know about other pests it says it gets rid of. Not a lot of spiders everbin our house. Let me know if this helped you or not

Well, it did not happen with me. The mice vanished when I plugged the units in the wall socket. That was four months ago, and they never came back despite the ferocious winter. I find these devices to be excellent. Our home has wooden floors, vaulted ceiling, ceiling is wood. The ultra sounds bounce all over the place.

It says "moderately sized homes, apartments or condos." I have it in our garage. I went with the a "the more the merrier" approach and have something like this plugged into any area where I've seen a rodent in the last decade.

I have two problem areas, the kitchen and the upstairs bathroom over the garage. The Pest A Cator Plus 2000 has a pretty big range, but I still needed one in each area. For an RV I think one will do it depending on the size. I'd plug it in closest to the most problem area. You may still hear the mice for a day, but then they're gone. Since I have the two units, there's been no evidence of mice.

My radicator is working great! Used all summer caught mice inside, and Rats and mice outside on the same set of batteries. I had one occasion outside where a raven was stealing the dead mouse by the tail straight out of the trap. I am on this site to buy 2 more.

Not sure I see much improvement. I ordered 4 units for 3500 house. My major problem is squirrels on the attic. 2 units are placed on the attic, 2 around the house. I do not see mice in the house, but it was not a problem before. I have cat in the house, he used to catch may be 1-2 mice per year I still have ordinary mouse traps on the attic and it would catch 1-2 per month in winter. With those devices - my "mice crop" is definitely reduced, but they are still here :-) But it seems have no effect on squirrels on the attic - I still hear them almost every day.

It could happen but most likely the mice would not get to where the dogs are. I have always haddogs in the house and it has not happened to me!

I have no idea. I use this in my attic, I live out in the country, and mice and rats are a big issue. They nest in walls, etc and tear up drywall, wood etc.

Don't know. It works great for mice and spiders have decreased. I have three. One in garage, one in the living area and one for three bedrooms and an office. Very very pleased. Our house was mice infested when we moved in a year and a half ago. Haven't seen one since not no droppings. Our house is 2600 sq ft.

Yes. I have a different (I think more powerful) ultrasonic pest repeller on a different floor of my house, and then two of these in different rooms of my basement. From what I can tell, they work fine together - no complaints where it counts; no mice!

These usually are used for moths. Not sure how effective against the others, but closets, cabinets, attics, crawl spaces, hidden areas (under sinks). For rodents I use pure peppermint oil in a sprayer with bottled water, the spray where mice are present (attics, dark, hidden areas). Plus then it makes the house smell nice.

It says it's ultimately effective only in the room it's in, so inherently you'd need more than one to cover a house. However, the mice in my house seem to completely ignore it.

I think you can. I hear that if it's very cold they may hide in your attic until the thaw, but that's just what my pest control guy told me.

If your air handler is in the attic, it will be significant. If it's mounted in the garage, not as much. The further south you live, the higher the savings. Stick with this unit as the power draw is minimal compared to the larger unit which draws twice as much power.

It works well with roaches! No more roaches in my house! Don't know about squirrel or mice as mice did not run away at all in the garage! You might find some food to trap them they eat and run away to get water and die or never come back in my garage or garden ( mice)! Good luck and happy new year!

I dont live in an apartment building. However, I dont believe it makes any difference. The product works by emitting some sort of sound that is not audible to humans. It was very effective in my kitchen, keeping mice away and now, I have them plugged into other rooms where mice were less of a problem. Have not seen any indication of mice there. We unplug it at times when our cat is roaming around. Also, it makes a slight clicking noise. Using it at night has been effective for us.
