Do Ultrasonic Pest Repellers Actually Work?
Pest control and routine scheduled maintenance are necessary steps in keeping your home in good condition and your family safe. Performance is a must when it comes to what approach you choose when managing pests who attempt to infest your home. Let’s take a look at conventional pest control vs newer technologies like ultrasonic devices and compare their effectiveness.
DO-IT-YOURSELF
Right away this screams savings when it comes to cost of goods and treatment. Keep in mind when going to big box home improvement retailers or DIY stores and buying commercial strength chemicals for pest control, you really need to do your research. Do you have the right gear, tools, apparel to protect yourself and your family from chemicals that may damage your skin, eyes, lungs, make you sick, etc.? Are you using the right chemical for the pests you are noticing around your house? Do you know the proper chemical mixture to use? Do you know what to look for in the interior and exterior areas of your home for signs of an infestation? How about breeding habits or favorite hiding spots for particular pests? Do you need to cover or remove flatware, silverware, drinking glasses? This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the factors you need to be aware of before going off on your own and applying potentially dangerous insecticides around your home. The old adage comes to mind…family first! Always think of your family’s safety first when it comes to working with hazardous chemicals you may not have a good working knowledge of. Saving money is important, but not always the most important factor when it comes to routine pest control. The experts at Regal Pest Control keep up to date with constant ongoing education about new methods and chemicals used in their industry. Take the guesswork out of how to get it done safely and effectively; call now and schedule a free on-site assessment of your home.
HOLISTIC/ORGANIC
Holistic methods are environmentally friendly and make a great case for keeping your children and pets safe. But, how effective are they when it comes to eradicating a potential infestation? Simply put, organic pesticides can be an effective method for pest management, but generally do not have the necessary fast-acting results you are looking for when it comes to fighting off an active infestation. Keep in mind that although being a green way to manage pests, human allergies and eye irritation can come into play. One cannot assume that just because the label calls it holistic or organic that is automatically safe for everyone. Again, knowledge is everything when it comes to pest control safety. Organic does not necessarily mean non-toxic to humans and pets. If you have tried organic products for pest control and aren’t getting the results you’re looking for, why not give Regal Pest Control a call today and set up a free home evaluation?
HOUSEHOLD
There are also common household products, oils, herbs, and plants that can help ward off certain types of pests, but they often only result in the pests relocating to another area of the house. While this can be useful in kitchen areas or rooms where family likes to gather frequently, for the most part, sprinkling borax and setting up apple cider vinegar traps are not going to prevent or halt a vicious pest infestation. Knowing where these pests hide, breed, and eat, is as important as implementing methods to control or get rid of them completely. Regal Pest Control technicians know where to look and what to look for when it comes to keeping your house bug free.
CHEMICAL/ARTIFICIAL
This is exactly what it sounds like. Pest control by use of chemicals. These agents generally come in granules, concentrates, sprays, and powders. These are the tried and tested methods that a certified and professionally trained pest control technician knows how to use safely and effectively. Artificial or chemical control methods are largely less expensive than organic alternatives, fast acting in comparison, and highly effective for both pest management and addressing infestations. Insecticides also diffuse faster and have a short window of potentially being harmful or toxic to humans and family pets. Professional pest control companies like Regal Pest Control are up-to-snuff on the chemicals they use and the best tactics for treating troubled areas and keeping families safe.

ULTRASONIC
We’ve all seen them in magazines or on As Seen on TV commercials; the seemingly “works like magic” technological revolution in pest control devices. In theory, you can strategically plug these pest repellers into electrical outlets throughout your home or business, and they will emit high pitch sound frequencies which are inaudible to the human ear, but instantly and permanently unleash Hell on Earth for unwelcome pests. Is it too good to be true? According to International Association of Home Inspectors, lab testing has revealed that a majority of these devices do not work and are in fact in violation of FTC guidelines. Over 60 companies have received warnings from the FTC that claims about these devices actually working must have scientific supporting documentation. Potential interference of home Wi-Fi, cellular phones, burglar alarms, and hearing aids are a concern as well, not to mention unnecessary distress on household pets who are able to hear the range of ultrasonic devices. As a whole, ants, spiders, and cockroaches are unaffected by these devices, and other pests become tolerant of the noise once it is apparent it is not lethal. The list goes on and on. Don’t throw away money on miracle cures, and call in the pros at Regal Pest Control for fast and effective pest management!
