Does anyone know if these really work?
QVC used to sell something like this, years ago.

And sometimes, I think it would be handy, as we seem to live near a field.

If your talking about the kind that omit a high pitched sound, well I don't 
think that they really work.

I remember consumer reports did a thing on them a few years back and claimed
they didn't work.  but there are plenty of folks who swear by them, and plenty
who say no luck

My guess is they might work for a while but hungry beasties can get used to a
lot of things particularly if the noise doesn't change.

In 38 years of living in this house we have had only 2 mouse invasions by 
one mouse each time.  If we had plugged in one of those electric mouse 
repelers we probably would testify that it works.  We have never used one. 
It's like the guy who is sprinkling flour on his lawn and when an enquiring 
neighbor asks why he says it's to keep the elephants away.  The neighbor 
replies that there probably isn't a free roaming elephant with in 10,000 
miles.  To which the person replies, see how well it works?

[BlindHandyMan] Plug in mouse and rat repeller?

2009-09-20 Thread Betsy Whitney
I know I saw an electronic device mentioned on the list for keeping 
rats and mice away. I need to tell my friend the name of this thing 
and I don't have time today to go through the archives. Would someone 
tell me again?
She has three of the laziest cats on earth. They brought the beast 
in, let it go, and it died inside the back of the refrigerator. What 
a mess that was, story for another day.
TIA, Betsy
