Get Rid Of That House Pest Without Poisons Or Traps

If you have a house pest, your first thought may be whether to spray, fog or spread poisoned bait. All of these methods use toxins that can wind up in water supplies, pets, or human food supplies. With incidents of chemical sensitivities, asthma and allergies on the rise, it doesn't make sense to saturate your home with poisons, but that's just what many people do because they think they have no choice.

If the house pest is a rodent, mechanical traps may be used, but they pose problems too. Rodents may ignore or reject bait: smart rats have been known to remove bait without springing the traps. Wild animals like squirrels may be inadvertently killed when they wander into traps.

Worst of all, baiting, setting and checking traps is the easy part of trapping rodents: removing dead rats or mice from the trap poses its own problems. Rodents may be injured and trapped without being killed. Like live rodents, dead rodents still harbor parasites like fleas and ticks which can carry disease. Disposal of corpses can be distressing, causing you to check traps less frequently.

The latest technology in house pest removal is the ultrasonic device that drives pests out by the use of high-frequency tones. Inaudible to people and pets, the 20,000+ sound varies, acting like a siren to rodents and insects. Ultrasonic devices plug into wall outlets, and the electromagnetic function sends the high-frequency tone pulsing through the walls so insects cannot find sanctuary. No chemicals, no traps, and before long, no house pest.
