Does ultrasonic pest control really work?
Because the EPA doesn’t regulate these devices, some folks are skeptical of their claims. According to an article by the BBC, entomologist Bart Knols asserts there is “no scientific evidence whatsoever” that ultrasound repels mosquitoes. The results of scientific studies for such products are all over the map, showing some pests respond while others don’t. However, many of these types of products on sites for online retailers have plenty of five-star reviews.
How long has ultrasonic pest control been around?
Although the use of electronic sound to control pests gained momentum in the 1950s and ’60s, experimentation with this technology started as early as 1948. The first patent for an ultrasonic pest device was issued in the 1960s. Many more patents have been issued since.
