Does the riddex electronic pest repeller stop working?

The Riddex pest repeller produces high-frequency sound waves that are harmless to humans and pets (except rodents), but which are heard by insects and rodents and are supposed to drive them away. This may sound good in theory, but it doesn't work in practice. At best, electronic pest repellers may work for a few hours or days, but they apparently have no long-term effect on pests. Also, many people claim that they can hear a whining and/or buzzing noise made by the repellers. After numerous complaints, the company that produces Riddex agreed with the FTC to not make certain claims as to their product's effectiveness. You can read the agreement on the FTC site: http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2003/07/global.shtm

Is the Riddex Electronic Pest Repeller effective against spiders or ants?

No it doesnt! And no one should use poisen for mice anyway. They have just as much right to be here as we do! We should just leave them along!

How is this poison? i love animals too, but what does getting rid of icky, crawling, reproducing mice in your home by messing with their nervous systems (with a plug in device) have to do with not eating meat ?
