Should the green LED light sometimes blink On & Off?

PLUG IN Pest Free operates in alternating “On” and “Off” cycles, as indicated by the LED display. During active pulse mode, the LED blinks to signify operation. Upon completion of this phase, the LED remains steadily illuminated to indicate standby mode, until the device resumes its next pulse cycle. These operational cycles occur continuously.

Is this product safe to use around pets?

Yes. Pets including cats, dogs, birds, and fish are not affected. However, pet rats, mice, and other closely related rodents should be kept at a safe distance from all electrical wiring.

Is this product safe to use in proximity to other electrical appliances?

All electrical appliances, including televisions, radios, gaming consoles, kitchen devices, and white goods, are considered safe for use. Similarly, Wi-Fi systems, alarm systems, and medical equipment such as pacemakers do not pose safety concerns.

Which pests are managed?

PLUG IN Pest Free has undergone scientific testing for its effectiveness in deterring rats and mice, as well as assisting with cockroach control.

Please note: While the product has not been formally tested on other pests, there are anecdotal reports from Pest Free customers worldwide indicating potential effects against various ants, spiders, bats, bees, silverfish, crickets, possums, squirrels, and additional species.

Is Pest Free functional in outdoor environments?

This may be possible, provided that the wiring is sufficient or an active wiring extension is used. For further details, please contact Pest Free USA directly.

Do I need to create an account to purchase?

No, although upon check-out if you create an account, your details for warranty registration will be automatically uploaded and kept on file for any future purchases or activities such as warranty claim or return.  This ensures a simple, accurate and quick procedure for you.

How does Pest Free operate?

Pest Free operates by switching a coil across the power supply, thereby modifying the existing low-level electromagnetic field inherent in all electrical circuits. This alteration occurs at specific times and frequencies caused by our patented specifications. The resultant changes create conditions that are unfavorable for targeted pests, ultimately encouraging them to leave their shelter over time.

Should the green LED light sometimes blink On & Off?

Yes. Pest Free works in “On” again “Off” again cycles that are continuous.  When the green LED begins blinking, this indicates the device has now entered it’s pulse mode. When the green LED light remains on solid, this indicates the device is now on standby, waiting to re-enter its pulse mode once again.  These “On” again “Off” again cycles operate every few minutes apart from each other.

What Does Pest Free Work On?

Pest Free has been scientifically tested by a leading Australian university against rats and mice, and to aid in the control of cockroaches.  Not only has Pest Free been scientifically tested, it has been consumer proven and accepted since 1995 controlling rodent and pest problems alike for our consumers around the world.

What other pests are controlled?

Scientifically tested to deter rats, mice, and to aid in the control of cockroaches.
Please note: Although not tested, we hold on file positive anecdotal feedback from our customers globally sighting success against most ants, spiders, bats, bees, silverfish, crickets, possums, squirrels, scorpions and others.

What can I expect once I plug in my Pest Free?

Each home or business is unique, as well as each rodent and pest problem.  Once you have plugged in your Pest Free device, some customers may actually see an increase in activity, and an increase in daytime activity when most rodent and pest problems are generally nocturnal. These are actually good signs as it proves something is disrupting the rodents and pests, and is therefore driving them out. Most customers will be satisfied with the results they experience within their first 30 days of use, which is why we provide a full 60 Day Money Back Guarantee* for peace of mind.

Will I ever see a pests again?

Whilst we always strive for total success, nothing is ever 100%. Our aim is to bring your rodent and pest problem under control, drive out existing problems, and work towards preventing new arrivals from remaining in the premises. From time to time you may get a new arrival. If a rodent, they will generally leave again within a day or two, but most commonly within a few hours as Pest Free works towards driving them back out.

Why am I now seeing baby cockroaches?

If from time to time you experience sporadic days of baby cockroaches, this is a sign that previously laid eggs in your home or business are on the move out after hatching.

Is Pest Free humane, or does it cause harm or lead to lethality?

PLUG IN Pest Free utilizes a humane approach to deterring targeted rodents and pests within its effective area. Larger animals such as rodents are typically encouraged to vacate the affected zone due to the influence of Pest Free. While the device is not intended to be lethal, smaller pests like cockroaches that remain within the area of influence may occasionally be found dehydrated or deceased, as they lose their instinct to seek food and water.

Will my pets be affected?

No. Pets such as cats, dogs, birds and fish, won’t be affected.  However, pet rats, mice and other closely related rodents should be kept well away from any electrical wiring.

Will it affect my electrical appliances?

No. All electrical appliances such as TV’s, radio’s, gaming consoles, kitchen appliances or white goods are perfectly safe; as are WiFi’s, alarm systems or medical equipment such as pacemakers.

Will it affect my WiFi?

No, it will not effect Wifi’s, alarm systems or medical equipment such as pacemakers.

Will it work outside the house?

Possibly, however, only if there is adequate wiring, “or” you utilize a Pest Free wiring extension specifically designed and adopted for our PLUG IN units.

What if I have insufficient or no active electrical wiring in some areas?

Pest Free devices require active electrical wiring to function effectively. Some customers report good results overall but may notice persistent rodent or pest activity in certain areas. Investigation often reveals that these issues are due to insufficient electrical wiring in those locations for the device to operate. In many instances, this can be addressed with a wiring extension. For additional troubleshooting, users are advised to contact Pest Free USA directly.

What model is best for me?

It is best to know your home or business size. Pest Free works by traveling along all of your active electrical wiring, not just the room it is plugged into. A common mistake is selecting a smaller model for a larger home or commercial business. A smaller model will struggle to cover your whole home or business, therefore not providing the desired results.

Can I install the PRO into my apartment or RV/motorhome?

Our PRO model is currently our strongest performing unit in our domestic range. More suited for larger family homes and small businesses, the PRO will work in any smaller sized home, apartment and even RV motorhomes and trailers. Many customers opt for our PRO model because they want the reassurance they have the strongest performing model for their pest defenses.

Can I have too many Pest Free units installed?

Yes, it is possible to install too many Pest Free devices on the same circuit in an area that does not require so many units. Having too many devices plugged in may override each other, therefore not providing the desired “On” again “Off” again cycles.

Can I install the Commercial unit in my home?

Commercial units can be used for home use as well. However, it is generally not necessary to install a Commercial unit in a family home, unless the home was larger than 5,000sqf.

Can I install the Micro unit into my dishwasher?

Our Micro units are more designed for commercial applications like commercial dishwashers, ovens, washing machines, dryers, vending machines etc. Generally your Pest Free should keep your home environment under control. However, if you were having a persistent problem with your dishwasher, washing machine, dryer etc. you can have a qualified electrician install the Micro unit to that appliance.

I have a split level home.

If you have a split level home, we would recommend our PRO model.

I have a two story home.

If you have a two story home, we would recommend our PRO model. However, in some cases, two Domestic models may be required if you decide not to choose the PRO model.

Why don’t I need one unit per room?

Pest Free is an electromagnetic device that works along the active wiring of your home or business. In most cases Pest Free will jump across the circuits that share a common neutral on the one electrical box.

What factors contribute to the removal of pests?

Our blinded scientific studies have determined that by disrupting the existing low-level electromagnetic field within a premise, our specialized patented technology significantly affects targeted pests, leading to reduced food and water consumption in rodents and cockroaches. Continuous modulation of the device encourages these pests to vacate the structure.

I have a separate garage.

If your garage is powered by the same electrical box as your home and shares a common neutral, Pest Free should pulse modulate the active wiring in your garage also.

Is the use of baits still permitted?

Pest Free is dedicated to eliminating rodents and pests from your home by creating an environment that is inhospitable to them. Our scientific research indicates that rodents typically become dehydrated and lose their appetite when exposed to our methods. We advise against the continual use of baits or scented lures, which can counteract Pest Free’s effectiveness. Baited traps containing substances such as peanut butter may serve only to entice current infestations to resist Pest Free’s influence and risk attracting additional rodents due to their heightened sense of smell. As a result, we cannot guarantee optimal performance of your Pest Free device if baits are used. For long-term results, we recommend moving away from the repetitive process of trapping and disposing of rodents, as their rapid breeding rates can often outpace such efforts.

What other preventative measures can I use in conjunction with, or to help assist my Pest Free?

Of course prevention is always better than a cure. Some simple, yet affective steps that can go along way to help prevent ongoing rodent and pests problems are:

  1. Trim back any tree branches touching the side of your home or business. Tree branches act as bridges, allowing rodents to walk on across.
  2. Create airspaces for any stored goods, i.e. storage boxes. Don’t leave them sitting on the ground. Instead, elevate them by using a pallet or placing bricks underneath, and keep them several inches away from the wall. Rodents and pests like confined spaces, not open spaces.
  3. Remove any uneaten pet food to prevent attracting and importing your rodent and pest problems.
  4. Natural, non-toxic surface sprays like mint-based sprays can be applied around the perimeter of your home or business, or along doorways and other easy entry points.
  5. Avoid using baits and other luring scents. Using baits and scents like peanut butter can attract and import the problem.

How much does it cost to operate Pest Free?

Pest Free generally costs only cents per month to operate with our domestic models ranging from the equivalent of a 7Watt to 13Watt lightbulb.

Should Pest Free stay plugged in continuously?

Yes. Pest Free operates continuously, providing 24/7 protection while remaining cost-effective to run. If Pest Free is disconnected, your home or small business will no longer benefit from ongoing rodent and pest deterrence, potentially allowing new infestations to occur.

What happens if the power goes out?

Pest Free operates only when connected to a working electrical outlet. If the power supply is interrupted, Pest Free will cease functioning until power is restored.

What happens if my premises experiences a power surge or spike in electricity?

Electrical surges can overload and damage the circuits of home electronics and other devices connected to power outlets, potentially causing immediate failure or gradual degradation. If the green LED on your Pest Free device does not function properly after a power surge, it may indicate that the device is damaged. Another sign of compromise may be an increase in pest activity observed days after a surge. In such cases, it may be advisable to have the device inspected, as the LED might still operate while the device’s effectiveness has significantly decreased.

How do I know if my Pest Free has stopped working?

The green LED serves as an immediate indicator of whether the device is operating properly. If the LED does not alternate between Pest Free’s patented “On” and “Off” cycles at regular intervals, there is a strong likelihood that the device is not functioning as intended. While devices that have been in use for many years may continue to display correct LED operation, their performance may have diminished over time, which is a normal expectation. It is recommended to proactively replace the device every 4 to 5 years. Additionally, persistent or increasing pest activity may indicate the need for replacement to ensure continued effective property protection by Pest Free.

Is it necessary to keep the power on?

It is essential that the power remains on at all times to ensure continuous protection of your property. The device will not function if the power is switched off. Additionally, for optimal performance, it is important to have appliances and lighting operating as they would in a typical household. The Pest Free device requires normal electrical usage to influence the existing electromagnetic field and deliver effective protection.

What is the electricity consumption of Pest Free?

Pest Free operates at minimal cost. Our current domestic device range consumes power equivalent to that of a 10 to 20 Watt lightbulb, depending on the specific model.

Does my Pest Free come with a warranty period?

All electronic Pest Free products include a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty covering parts and labor, effective from the date shown on the invoice or receipt.

What happens if I need to send my Pest Free back under warranty?

Please go to www.gopestfree.com and under Contact Us click Warranties & Returns and follow the prompts.

What happens if my Pest Free is not covered under warranty?

If your Pest Free is not covered under warranty, you may be able to pay for a repair or purchase a new Pest Free to ensure your pest control needs remain under control.

Can my warranty be voided?

Should it be determined the Pest Free device has been deliberately damaged, tampered with, opened or destroyed, the warranty will become void and no further claim under warranty can be made.

What is the expected duration of Pest Free?

Pest Free is designed to operate continuously, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week when connected to a power source. As with any electronic device, it may eventually experience reduced performance or cease functioning. The product includes a 2-year manufacturer’s warranty covering both parts and labor. While many customers report many years of reliable use from their Pest Free device, we recommend replacing your unit every 4 to 5 years to maintain optimal effectiveness.
