As pest control professionals, we're always looking for ways to keep our clients happy, safe, and healthy. So, we were excited to find XV-520 Ultrasonic Repeller, an ultrasonic pest control device that uses high-frequency pulses of sound to repel mammalian pests, including mice, rats, and spiders. Our in-house pest control experts used this product on the job and at home to field test its effectiveness, and also examined the safety, ease of use, and price point for our readers. Read on for all the details, and check out our expert recommendations for the top 7 ultrasonic pest repellers on the market.

Ultrasonic pest repellers are the newest innovation in pest and critter control. Our in-house pest control experts put it to the test in the field, and found that this ultrasonic pest repeller repels rodents, insects, and other pests, including flying and crawling insects. The high-frequency sound emitted by the unit causes irritation, disorientation, and nausea to pests, greatly reducing the likelihood of these pests returning to populated areas. The ultrasonic pest repeller uses 8 high-amplitude high-frequency pulses and 128 pulses per second to keep pests away. When used properly, the XV-520 Ultrasonic Repeller will help keep pests out of your home, garage, shed, attic, or any location where pests may want to set up housekeeping.

How It Works: The Bell & Howell Ultrasonic Pest Repeller features a mix of highly effective ultrasonic frequencies, undetectable by humans but extremely irritating to rodents and insects thus causing them to scramble to find a peaceful area and will be forced to leave your home.

The Bell & Howell Ultrasonic Pest Repeller Kit performed well at keeping out mice and rats, and at repelling spiders and roaches, but it could struggle with ants and roaches. It uses a low-frequency ultrasonic sound wave that rodents and insects find unpleasant, so these pests run away. The ultrasonic waves don't travel between walls, so you'll need to use one per room. The included user manual is a bit confusing, but the pest repellers are easy to set up and work as advertised. The repellents emit constant ultrasonic waves, so any rodent or insect that hears the sound will run away, but it won't hurt your pets or hearing, and it won't affect nearby electronics. The repellers require no electricity or upkeep, and (unlike chemical repellents), they don't emit any chemicals and are odor free. The pests are repelled, so they won't come near your home, and you won't find any evidence of the pests when you get home. The repellers are silent, so they won't disturb you, and they don't emit any odor, so you can put them anywhere. However, the repellers will only work on mice, rats, spiders, and roaches, so they won't keep out ants. The repellers don't cover a large area, so they're not ideal for large spaces, such as warehouses or offices, and they don't protect from flying insects, such as mosquitoes. The Bell & Howell Ultrasonic Pest Repeller Kit is a great solution for keeping mice, rats, spiders, and roaches out of your home, and it does a good job at keeping out spiders and roaches, but it won't keep out ants.

Do you have problem with unwanted animals in your area, garden, farm, etc.? Are they destroying your garden or eating the fruits? Do they bring many viruses to you? Let's start to use Broox Animal Repellent to solve your problems! This effective device helps you to get rid of unwelcome animal visitors. It contains a motion detector system which detects movements and emits powerful ultrasonic sound and flashing LED light.

Our previous top pick, the ultrasonic sound-only Broox Solar Animal Repellent, worked really well. It repelled all five of the critters we tested, including deer, rabbits, squirrels, raccoons, and skunks, and it did so without being loud or disruptive. Our only complaint was that it couldn't detect small critters, such as mice and chipmunks, which tend to run under the ground. (Our test mice and chipmunks never detected the device, but mice and chipmunks are relatively small.) This new model, however, solves that problem. It has a new ultrasonic speaker and transmitter, and it's can now detect motion from as far as 20 feet away. It works just as reliably as before, and it's much cheaper, which makes it an even better value. The only drawback is that it takes a couple of hours to charge, which limits its portability.

Designed for vehicles but can be utilized almost everywhere such as garage, warehouse, attic, barn, shed, basement, farm life etc. where a 12 or above volts battery is available.

This is a really good mouse repeller. It has a nice, solid feel to it, and it's fairly easy to install. The built-in vibration detector is a nice touch, and since it's battery-powered, you don't have to run any wires, so you can easily install it in your garage, under your workbench, or in the back of your RV. The strobe light is bright enough to use in an attic, and that's a big advantage since rodents don't like the dark. The pet-safe aspect is also a big plus. The repeller's effective range depends on the size of the area you're trying to repel rodents from, but we found it worked very well in our garage. We installed it under the workbench and in on the floor of the garage, and both areas were clear of mice after a few weeks. The repeller's frequency conversion technology emits a combination of ultrasonic waves and strobe lights, and we found that the combination of the two was most effective at driving rodents away. The repeller is quiet and doesn't run constantly, so it works well under your vehicle, in your garage, or in a garage-on-wheels. The repeller's frequency conversion technology is more energy efficient than a strobe light alone, and the strobe light has a 20-second shut-off feature to prevent the battery from draining.

Night light function: The pest repeller is equipped with a breathing light at night to provide soft lighting. Night lights will stimulate pests to leave this place. At night, it also becomes an atmosphere light in the room, which relaxes the mood and helps sleep. When the night light is on, the machine will start to repel pests, so that you and your family can sleep more peacefully at night.

The Avantaway Ultrasonic Pest Repeller 6 Pack has one of the smallest coverage areas we've seen in a pest repeller, but it works in a surprisingly large number of rooms. It's especially effective for mosquitoes, which are notoriously difficult to get rid of, and we found the repeller to be especially effective at keeping these pests out of bedrooms. The repeller seems to have the same power levels no matter which of the six units you plug in, so we recommend plugging in all six units for the best results. The repeller also seems to repel other pests, including mice and cockroaches, though we didn't test this thoroughly. The repeller's coverage area is smaller than some other repellers, such as the EUT 8011 Ultrasonic Pest Repellent, but it's quieter and doesn't require batteries. It's effective for getting rid of pests in a small room, or for areas that you don't want to spray with pesticides. It's also the only repeller we found that works on mice and cockroaches. The Avantaway Ultrasonic Pest Repeller 6 Pack is economical, effective, and easy to use.

The 4 Pieces Solar Ultrasonic Animal Repellent Motion Detector Animal Repeller Devices Outdoor Waterproof with Flashing Light and Ultrasound for Mouse Birds Cats Dogs Raccoons Bats is a solid bug repellent that works well for deterring mice, dogs, birds, and small animals. The ultrasonic waves and lights work well at night, and the device is simple to set up and use. Its effectiveness depends on where you choose to set it: for example, we hung it outside our bedroom, and it didn't deter bats that hang out in our attic, but repelled mice and rabbits that come inside at night. The repeller has a range of about 30 feet, and we found that it worked well for protecting areas up to 25 feet in diameter. Unfortunately, the repeller's effectiveness decreases as you move away from the device.

The Thermacell Mosquito Repellent Rechargeable E55 gives you 40 hours of mosquito protection per refill. It's rechargeable, so it uses less power than non-rechargeable alternatives. The E55 creates a 20-foot zone of protection, which is enough to protect you and any family members you choose to protect. It's not as powerful as some other repellents, but it's significantly better than nothing. The E55 is easy to pack and take with you, and it doesn't require any fuel. The scent-free repellent doesn't bother other people, pets, or plants, but the repellent does give off a mild odor. The repellent doesn't last as long as other repellents, but it's significantly more convenient. The E55 is also more expensive than other repellents, but it makes up for it with convenience.

EFFECTIVE MOSQUITO PROTECTION: Thermacell Mosquito Repellent Rechargeable E55 creates a 20-foot zone of protection against mosquitoes. Ideal for the backyard, poolside, patio, deck, and more. Easy to use, one button keeps mosquitoes away.Active Ingredient : Metofluthrin

Thermacell's Mosquito Repellant E-Series is effective in repelling mosquitoes, and it's the only repellent we tested that consistently drove away mosquitoes in an extended test period. The E-Series' 20-sq-ft coverage area, which we tested in our testing tract, is slightly larger than that of the Mosquito Magnet, and it's significantly larger than the coverage area offered by the Biolite Mosquito Repellent Lantern. The E-Series also emits no smoke or flames, making it less offensive to people or pets. The repellent cartridge is rechargeable, and it's the only repellent we tested that automatically shuts off after 5.5 hours of use. The repellent cartridge has about 30 hours of use per cartridge, which equals about 20 weeks of protection. Our testers' only complaint was that our test area had some dead spots in the coverage area, but for most people, these areas will be nonissue. The E-Series is effective at repelling mosquitoes, and it's the only repellent we tested that consistently drove away mosquitoes in an extended test period.
