RODENT REPELLENTS - Advantages

The ultrasonic rodent repellent is an extremely effective way to control rats and mice. By using high-frequency sound waves to emit a non-repetitive pattern, the electronic rodent repellent drives rodents away from your home. 

This electronic mouse repellent sounds like a jackhammer to mice. This type of sonic pest control is safe for humans, cats, dogs, birds, and fish. Hamsters and guinea pigs will simply need to be moved to a room without an ultrasonic rodent repellent.

The Victor® PestChaser® is the only repellent backed by more than 20 years of laboratory research and proven field results. Below you will find information on the repellent, including how it works, lab & field test data, and FTC compliance information. Check out our interactive demo below.

How it Works

How it Works   |   Lab & Field Test Data  |  Victor® Complies with FTC

 

The Victor® PestChaser® is a highly effective method of controlling rats and mice.  Here is the way in which the Victor® Ultrasonic PestChaser® works to repel rodents:

 

Non-Repetitive Sound Waves- High frequency sound waves emit a non-repetitive pattern to repel rodents and prevent them from invading your home. With over 80 oscillations per second, Victorpest.com - All About Repellents - Male Roof Rat

PestChasers® use a jackhammer-like sound to create intense auditory stress  for rodents.  This type of control is a classic animal behavior modification technique.  The complex sound waves emitted by the PestChasers® do not allow rodents to habituate to the sound. These Ultrasonic devices have the ability to provide long-term reductions in rodent populations by creating a "rodent-unfriendly" environment that discourages rodent infestations. 

 

 

 

 

It is important to note that ultrasonic frequencies do not travel between walls.  So for the most effective rodent control, ultrasonic devices need to be placed in multiple rooms. Additionally, since sound waves are absorbed into soft surfaces, units should not be placed behind couches, curtains, or other obstructions.

 

The most common repellent mistake is using the devices alone to control an established infestation. Traps and rodenticides as well as sanitation and exclusion effort should be used in conjunction with ultrasonic repellents.  In fact, ultrasonics can be used as a herding tool to force rodents into areas equipped traps and baits.

Victor® PestChasers® are the only repellents backed by third-party laboratory research and exhaustive field tests.  Additionally, the Victor® Ultrasonic PestChaser® is one of ONLY two ultrasonic device granted registration by the Canadian EPA(PMRA) due to their strict testing standards on electronic rodent repellent devices.  Below is the lab data and field test results that allowed us to gain registration and become the leader in ultrasonic devices.

 

The purpose of this study was to test the theory that rodents will tolerate a change in their environment perceived to be temporary; but, when the condition persists those rodents will make a conscious effort to avoid the new adverse condition.

 

Lab Testing

Test Protocol

A mouse was placed in a test apparatus with 2 types of chambers - treated (ultrasonic device) and untreated (no device).  Food and nesting areas were provided in the both chambers.  Food consumption and tracking board activity was measured.

 

Results

Food consumption was reduced by 67% in treated chambers.

Rodent tracking board activity decreased 21%.

 

 

Field Testing

 Test Protocol

Seventeen consumers with existing rodent problems participated in the field test series.  Test sites were required for each pest species - Norway Ray, Roof, Rat, & House Mouse. Testing phase lasted 6 weeks with daily monitoring of activity.  Food consumption and tracking board activity was measured.

 

In addition to researchers, a licensed pest control company was responsible for supervising the project.

 

Results

In total, PestChaser® successfully repelled the rodents from the protected area in 13 of the 17 sites. This represents a 81.3% success rate.  

Sixteen sites demonstrated that rodent activity ceased in 3 to 9 days after devices were activated. 

The average number of days before rodent activity was stopped was six days.  

 

 

The results, as detailed above, present a clear picture of the efficacy of this particular ultrasonic rodent repelling device.

In the mid 1980s the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) contacted all manufacturers of electronic pest control products (about 15 at the time) and required that each provide data for claims being made.  In addition to repelling rodents, the fraudulent companies claimed repellency of insects and wild animals. 

 

Most of the 15 companies simply got out of the business as quickly as they had gotten into it.  Four companies entered into Consent Decrees that allowed no claims on packaging and put them out of business.  

 

The Victor® Ultrasonic PestChaser® prevailed and received the stamp of compliance.  The claims today are the same ones as were claimed when we first started with ultrasonic device.  No hype required - the PestChaser® does exactly as it was invented to do - repels rodents and keeps them out of your home.
