Which pitch is for rodents?
1636206
Dear J Z, The best settings on the ET Pest Control for repelling rodents are: Low Range, Variable Pitch, and Cont. Output. Be sure to have the unit plugged in open areas, meaning not behind anything like boxes, dressers, refrigerator, etc. You want the frequencies to travel freely and not just bounce off of objects in its way. Hope this helps!

I bought it to get rid of bats. I really do not know if it works for rodents.

The literature that comes with the item makes suggestions, and the business owner makes himself available to answer questions. We did not purchase the item for rodents but for bats. It took several weeks to work because the place the bats were in was difficult to reach. The owner worked with us all that time until we succeeded.

This never worked. But I never tried to get my money back. bats still here.

I have both, the turtle and the OctoPlay. My Ratties don't like the turtle but the love the Octoplay. I have purchased 3 over the last 2 years because they tend to shred things. I cut the head off the turtle because the opening was to small and gave it to my guinea pigs and they love it.

It should be good for rats, as they are similar in size to the squirrels that we use the trap on. I think mice might be a little small though.

I definitely used it outdoors, and wouldn't recommend it. It attracts rodents, and although it's inexpensive, isn't the best choice by any means for outdoor use.

bought for mice in yard tempted by bird feeder. I guess these mice are special because this doesn't bother them at all. Got out again to try and nothing. They walk right through its path. I don't know what the others are using for, but like I said not working for mice.

Hard to say, I used it for mice control and it didn't work. Seems to me it should work right away if the sounds from it is suppose to stop the critters from going where you have it.

I have never used it on a rodent, but the company website says it is safe to be used on rodentshttp://emtgel.com/faqs/index.php#11

Mine hasn't worked for ANYTHING. Deer love it, birds, I'm surprized it hasn't drawn in RATS.worthless.

This trap is best for rats, but there are similar versions for mice. I found peanut butter to be effective for both.

Depending on the density of your soil, you could use either 2 or 4 for that size area. Because the density of your soil may be difficult to determine, I'd suggest installing 4, evenly spaced. (The more dense the soil, the better the sound travels.) To insert them into the ground, I've found that using a small garden auger, the same diameter as the Mole Chaser, is a very effective. (I bought mine at a Home Depot.) Drill the hole and slide the Chaser into the opening. A snug fit is good. The alternative to this is digging a larger hole, inserting the Chaser and back-filling. This is less desirable as it allows 'loose' soil to surround the Chaser and diminishes it's sound. The auger method is very clean. A tip: After inserting the batteries into the inner sleeve, DO NOT insert the inner sleeve into the tube and allow it to drop with a thud to the bottom. Doing this may break the circuit board. Lower it hand, all the way until it reaches the bottom. Most important: Change the batteries out at 3 month intervals. Use good quality batteries, e.g., Duracell, and do not use re-chargables. Remember: Rodents will always burrow up to the Chaser immediately after installation giving you the impression that, "They're not afraid of it, it doesn't work!" This is incorrect. Burrowing rodents are territorial and protective of their environment. They will immediately investigate any "intrusion" into their domain. They will eventually find that they can't 'scare' the Chaser away and will become increasingly annoyed at it's constant buzzing. They then leave for more secure and quieter surroundings. Sort of like we do when we live next to lousy neighbors.

Sorry hon, I used it on cottonballs for bug and rodent control. I can tell you it worked for that!

This works good. the rats/mice eat the bait until all gone. the metal pegs stay in place. Just keep adding bait or check once every seven days to see how fast there eating the bait. They will eat a lot the first month and slow down once they start dyeing.

I'm not sure what you are asking but I had rats take the bate out and surviving . Didn't kill one rat , or mouse just my time

I used peanut butter and I think I coated some nuts with it. If you have rats they will come.

Oh trust me it will take care of your rodent problem. I shot a few of them. The bb bullet shoots so fast and accurate that it will hit the rodent leaving them dead or badly injured.

We buried ours into the soil a little bit. We have never had a problem with rodents. Smart raccoons have gotten the top offeven with the locks! At least we think they're raccoons haven't actually seen them.

I am sorry I have no idea I bought it for mice in my wood piles and it appears to be working.
