Electromagnetic
PLUG IN Pest Free®
VS
Ultrasonic Pest Repeller

Our Pest Free uses technology more effective than ultrasonic pest repellers to alter the existing electromagnetic field within a buildings structure.

Our patented Pest Free technology offers superior effectiveness compared to conventional ultrasonic repellers. Utilizing short, controlled bursts of electromotive force at 50Hz or 60Hz along a building’s wiring, our electromagnetic devices penetrate deeply into areas that are typically inaccessible to traditional toxic pesticides, thereby displacing pests from concealed locations. Pest Free is completely safe for common household pets such as cats, dogs, birds, and fish. However, it is advisable to keep pet rats, mice, and other closely related rodents away from all electrical wiring.

Pest Free is safe to use around other electrical appliances including televisions, radios, gaming consoles, kitchen devices, and white goods. Similarly, Wi-Fi systems, alarm systems, and medical equipment such as pacemakers do not pose safety concerns.

Ultrasonic devices emit sounds that are unable to penetrate walls, furniture, or other physical barriers. These high-frequency sounds have been known to cause discomfort in pets and individuals with sensitive hearing, potentially leading to symptoms such as headaches and nausea. Although ultrasonic devices may be marketed as affordable solutions, many brands recommend installing multiple units throughout a property, as their effectiveness is limited to the area in which they are placed and does not extend to adjacent rooms.

Beware of gimmick combination devices marketed as both ultrasonic and electromagnetic, as manufacturers often make electromagnetic claims without providing substantiated evidence. Only PLUG IN Pest Free has been scientifically tested and relied upon for over 30 years globally.

Electromagnetic (Pest Free) Devices

Numerous products in the current market advertise the use of electromagnetic technology. Several of these competing products tested demonstrated minimal or no effectiveness. Additionally, many of these alternative products lack supporting scientific testing.

  1. Pest Free devices function by alternating a coil between the active and neutral wires in electrical circuits. This action generates brief bursts of electromotive force at 50Hz or 60Hz, which propagate through the wiring, thereby pulse-modulating the pre-existing electromagnetic field generated by the standard supply frequency as the coil toggles between “on” and “off” states. In essence, Pest Free electromagnetic devices, when connected to a regular power outlet, leverage the building’s inherent electromagnetic field and pulse it at specific intervals designed to disrupt the metabolic processes of rodents and other pests.
  2. Pest Free devices target the nesting and breeding areas of rodents, cockroaches, and other pests, transforming these environments into inhospitable spaces and thereby encouraging them to leave.
  3. Pest Free devices are designed to penetrate walls, cupboards, drawers, and other hard to reach or inaccessible areas where pests commonly reside.
  4. PLUG IN Pest Free offers models designed to accommodate various home sizes, providing comprehensive coverage for the entire property, including basements and roof cavities.
  5. Both analytical and scientific tests have been conducted on Pest Free devices, providing clear evidence that these devices impact the metabolism of rats and mice, and assist in controlling cockroach populations.

Ultrasonic Devices

  1. An ultrasonic device may affect insects or vermin only when they remain within the device’s direct line of sight.
  2. Ultrasonic devices are unable to penetrate cupboards, drawers, wardrobes, furniture, or walls, which are common locations where pests may nest and breed.
  3. Using ultrasonic devices in an attempt to control insect and vermin typically requires one device per room, including several in roof cavities to cover an entire home. These devices may have some effect only when pests are within the direct line of sight. For instance, an ultrasonic device operating in a room will not affect a mouse or cockroach located a short distance away if the pest is behind a closed cupboard door or under a refrigerator.

Ultrasonic Company Claims

  1. Many companies state that a single unit is sufficient to provide effective coverage across thousands of square feet within a residence. However, this assertion generally holds true only in open-plan structures without internal partitions.
  2. They assert that their device eliminates numerous species of insects and rodents from homes; however, they do not support these claims with any scientific evidence (unlike PLUG IN Pest Free).

CONCLUSION

PLUG IN Pest Free devices are designed to provide effective protection against rodents and pests, ensuring your premises remain in a controlled state.

Ultrasonic devices, however, may only deter pests that are within their direct line of sight. Consequently, pests can continue their usual activities, including breeding within cupboards and walls, in both residential and commercial properties.
