The plug in pest control is a small device like a glade plug in that attracts insects with scents. You can get these at your local hardware store. Riddex is the most popular brand.

I don't recommend it-they are not effective long term


What is a bug transmitter detector?

Your question is not very clear. "Riddex" is a product that you can plug into your power outlets to keep pests away. Products such as "Riddex" are not recommended, and have been investigated by the Federal Trade Commission. These digital pest repellents claim to send a certain type of electricity wave through your electrical lines to provide pest control. These products are gimmicks and a scam. More informtion about the investigation can be found here http://intelligentpestsolutions.com/dont-fall-for-digital-pest-repellers/


Can you plug in pest control into a 12V battery?

In order to use the "plug in" pest control with a 12V battery, the device would have to have power requirements less than or equal to that which a 12V battery can provide. The pest control would also need an adapter to use the 12V battery.


How long before you see results using the plug ins for pest control?

unfortunatly, pest control plug-ins work slightly or not at all. Think of it this way, if you invented a product that could completely nullify a trade, do you think you could just sell it on TV or would pest-control and chemical providers buy that patent off you immedietly?


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! From-a vegetarian I thought that riddex was a plug in device. 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 ?


Does riddex hurt hamsters?

There is some debate whether it will do anything at all. The device emits an ultrasonic whistle that is supposed to scare off mice and bugs but some people have found bugs have crawled up inside the unit. Watch the hamster and move the cage or move the unit if he starts getting agitated.


Is riddex dangerous to humans?

I found this on their website.. "Save thousands of dollars on pest controlJust plug in the Riddex Plus and it immediately starts paying for itself. A single Riddex Plus unit covers an entire level of a typical home, effectively driving away rodents and roaches. Never use harmful chemical sprays or breathe noxious fumes from other pest control products ever again! Safe for use around children, pets, and electronics."A few years ago, I bought some of those types of pest avoidance devices- not Riddex plus, and both cats and one dog could hear them, but didn't seem to be adversely affected by them. I could tell they heard them because they side-stepped away from the outlets I'd plugged them into. Mainly the cats did this, but the dog seemed to take notice also. They did get used to them. I don't think they were harmed in any way by them because they'd go up and sniff at them with interest, not hatred.The product we used was an ultrasonic unit, but to let you know, it didn't work a bit.Sources: http://riddexplus.com/I believe products like this have been proven to be inafective.

How does electomagnetic pest control work?

When you plug it into your wall and turn it on, it sends electronic pulses through the wiring in your wall and it drives mice and roaches crazy.


When was plug in pest control invented?

If you are thinking about the ones that use house wiring, supposedly as an antennae, it was shortly after the advent of the ultrasonics and they were hoping to ride the wave of that fad, but they don't work either


Will using Riddex Plug-in Pest Repeller hurt pet rabbits?

They're completely safe for children and most household pets including cats, dogs, fish and birds. Except if your choice of pet is a hamster, gerbil, mink, chinchilla, guinea pig or similar pet. That's what it says on their website. In some ways, rabbits are like hamsters, gerbils, chinchillas -- they're all "small pets"; however, in other ways, rabbits aren't like these animals because they aren't rodents (they're lagomorphs). So, I suggest contacting Riddex to find out for sure whether or not they're safe for rabbits. Contact details are listed on their website (see link below).
