These devices emit sound waves at a frequency humans can\u2019t hear but rodents supposedly can. The theory is that the noise is uncomfortable enough to drive mice away from your home or business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, do ultrasonic pest repellers actually work on mice?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Research suggests that rodent behaviour can be influenced by certain ultrasonic frequencies, but only when they are delivered in very controlled, specialist conditions. This type of technology isn\u2019t available in off-the-shelf products, meaning the devices you can buy online or in shops don\u2019t operate in the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some commercially available ultrasonic repellers may have a short-term effect, particularly on mice that haven\u2019t yet settled or established a nest. However, once rodents have a reliable food source, warmth and shelter, it\u2019s highly unlikely that sound alone will persuade them to leave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are also practical limitations. Ultrasonic sound doesn\u2019t travel well through solid objects and is easily absorbed by furniture, walls and soft furnishings. This creates \u201cdead zones\u201d where mice can simply avoid the noise altogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re dealing with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prokill.co.uk\/rodents\/mice\/\">mouse infestation<\/a>, the most effective solution is to contact a local pest control professional. A trained technician can identify entry points, address the root cause of the problem and resolve it quickly and safely, rather than relying on gadgets that may offer little more than false reassurance. Contact our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.prokill.co.uk\/contact-us\/\">pest controllers<\/a> who will be able to eradicate the problem quickly and effectively.<\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A quick Google search for how to get rid of mice returns millions of results, so it\u2019s no surprise that knowing where to start can feel like a bit of a minefield.
