Ultrasonic cockroach repellers are still booming in popularity with consumers today. Most apartment residents are especially willing to buy, albeit not the cheapest, but extremely easy to use and safe tool.
It's no joke - according to the assurance of the manufacturers, such an ultrasonic cockroach repeller is simply plugged into an outlet in order to forget about these insects forever. And no insecticides, no hassle, bad smell and health hazards.
But how effective such a cockroach repeller is, it’s still worth figuring out. After all, if they were the result promised by the sellers, all pest control services would be left without work. But no, they continue to poison cockroaches with chemicals. What is the matter here?
Operating principle
The effect produced by ultrasonic devices is well described by their very name: they repel insects. Of course, it makes no sense to talk about the destruction of cockroaches by ultrasound: sound cannot kill an insect.Therefore, you should not look for an ultrasonic cockroach exterminator on the markets, since it simply does not exist in nature.
The principle of operation of ultrasonic repellers is based on the instincts of insects that communicate using their ultrasonic signals. For example, it is with the help of ultrasound that mosquitoes attract marriage partners and inform their “colleagues” about the danger. Each of their signals has its own frequency, and if the device produces a repellent sound in the right range, mosquitoes will scatter from it.
It is interesting
It was against mosquitoes that repellers that imitate the ultrasonic signal of a bat, the main insect exterminator, turned out to be effective. Hearing the corresponding sounds, the mosquitoes fly away in a panic.
Accordingly, ultrasonic repellers are effective only against those insects that use high-frequency sounds in their life.
And what about cockroaches?
Are ultrasonic cockroach repellers effective?
But cockroaches do not communicate with ultrasound. They do not have organs with which they can make such sounds. Accordingly, ultrasound from cockroaches is no more effective than from bedbugs or humans.
In other words, it's not effective at all. Cockroaches ignore low-power ultrasound, harmless to humans, and very powerful one is able to survive from the house not only six-legged, but all warm-blooded mammals. Including people.
Review
“We ordered a repeller on the Internet, we were told that it was the most powerful. They turned it on, held it for a few days, and the guinea pig in the next room stopped eating. Both my daughter and I started getting headaches all the time. We called the seller, he began to tell us that, they say, animals and people need to be kept at a distance from the repeller.Why is it then needed at all if it is so harmful? It’s better then to poison with proven Dichlorvos and that’s it. ”
Oksana, Gus-Khrustalny
However, experiments have shown that ultrasound of a certain power can have a long-term effect on the general condition of a cockroach. If an insect constantly stays in the zone of action of such ultrasound for a very long time, certain disorders in the nervous system may occur in it.
But it should be understood that the power of such a striking signal must be very high, harmful to humans as well. And the device itself will not scare away cockroaches, but will only change their behavior in an unpredictable way.
As practice shows, the most effective ultrasonic remedy for cockroaches allows only to a small extent to reduce the number of pests in the apartment. Perhaps this is due to the fact that insects avoid breeding in the presence of a source of such a signal. But in general, the fight against cockroaches with ultrasound today is the least effective way to get rid of these insects.
At the same time, the virtues that sellers reward each ultrasonic device against cockroaches does not allow apartment owners who share living space with mustachioed people to sleep peacefully. Indeed, I would like to believe that instead of a long and tedious treatment of the premises with toxic agents, you can simply plug a small device into the outlet and triumphantly watch the crowds of panicking pests rushing into the ventilation.
The sellers of repellers are counting on such desires of consumers, who today offer a huge number of electronic means to choose from.
Repeller brands and reviews about them
Buying an ultrasonic cockroach repeller today is as easy as shelling pears: warehouses of online stores are “bursting” from them and there is not enough space on the shelves of market stalls. Most of these devices are of Chinese origin, low cost and very dubious effectiveness.
As checks show, some of them are not like cockroaches, but even mosquitoes do not scare away.
The most powerful repellers can reduce the activity of cockroaches in a small area next to them. But they are more expensive and are sold mainly in the online stores of manufacturers and dealers. There are several brands of them, each with its own properties and consumer opinions.
Ultrasonic cockroach repeller Typhoon LS-500
This is a domestic powerful ultrasonic repeller of mice and cockroaches. According to specially conducted studies, it was the Typhoon that provided the maximum level of insect disturbance in the zone of its sound.
The manufacturer claims that the repeller effectively cleans the area within a radius of 80 meters around itself from cockroaches. In operation, it is good because it has a remote plug on the cable, which ensures its certain mobility.
Typhoon LS-500 costs 945 rubles and is sold in hardware stores and on the Internet.
Review
“I fought cockroaches with houses and Velcro for a long time. They certainly help, but not much. I decided to buy an ultrasound, Typhoon, I tried it. Well what can I say, money thrown to the wind. Cockroaches are not afraid of him. It was especially infuriating when I saw one cockroach right on the wall near the working repeller. I called the seller, he said that they do not give a guarantee for effectiveness.
Maria, Uralsk
Ultrasonic cockroach repeller Ixus KY-6182
It has the same characteristics as the Typhoon, only a little lighter and cheaper. Its price is 820 rubles and it is sold mainly in online stores.
Review
“Such a repeller was bought for my daughter in a hostel. She hung it up and forgot about it. A couple of months, probably, have passed, but how many cockroaches there were, so many remained. ”
Alla, Moscow
Zenet XJ-90
A typical representative of consumer goods, actively promoted and even bought despite the high price and the complete absence of positive reviews about his work. Users verified that this ultrasonic cockroach device does not even work on mosquitoes.
Reviews
“Like many of our neighbors, we constantly fought cockroaches, but without much success.When newfangled ultrasonic devices appeared on the market, they immediately bought Zenet. There is no sense from him, cockroaches run over him when he works!
Inna, Moscow
“Money thrown away. What he is in the room, what he is not - cockroaches up to one place. They threw him out a month later and poisoned the cockroaches with Geta.
Andrey, Mytishchi
Air Comfort XJ-90
The same Zenet, no different from it even outwardly. Released after the predecessor completely discredited itself with complete uselessness. In fact, it is an already tested and non-working device under a different name.
Review
“I was very surprised when this Air Comfort arrived. This is a complete copy of Zenet, only with a different name. And just as useless. In short, don’t get fooled by the sellers’ scams, all this junk doesn’t work.”
Olga, Nizhny Novgorod
Pest Reject
Produced in the USA. According to the manufacturer, it works on an area of up to 220 square meters. m. and gives results only after a week of use. The funny thing is that in the instructions, the manufacturer recommends the first week of using the repeller to combine its operation with the use of traps and gels.
And this is not surprising: in a week of work, Velcro and poison will successfully destroy most of the insects without a repeller, but the conscience of the manufacturer will be clear.
There are no reviews for this device. Perhaps this is a good reason to wonder why it costs only 600 rubles ...
Banzai LS927
Taiwanese development, the only effective remedy more or less popular on the market: cockroaches really leave the room in which it works within 3-4 weeks of its use.
But ... the device is not safe. It is forbidden to sleep and install cages with pets near him, he makes a squeak audible to a person.With such characteristics, it makes sense to think about whether to replace the repeller with low-toxic insecticides?
Review
“Everyone is just talking about how powerful this Banzai is. Well, we bought it, plugged it into an outlet under the sink, where cockroaches are the most. A week later, they were not found under the sink itself, but in other parts of the kitchen they crawl and feel fine. And it is definitely impossible to transfer it to living rooms, because it is dangerous. As a result, you will not save the apartment from cockroaches.
Igor, Moscow
You can try to make an ultrasonic cockroach repeller with your own hands. On the Internet, on the same forums where you can find out where to buy ultrasound from cockroaches, there are diagrams and descriptions of how to assemble the device for people who are versed in electrical engineering.
For a specialist, this is not a difficult task, but the end device will have the same disadvantages as industrial developments: it will either be inefficient or harmful to humans.
Therefore, starting the fight against cockroaches, it is much more reasonable to replace ultrasound against cockroaches with gels or aerosols that are not dangerous for humans and pets, and with a small number of insects in the room, use traps. The result in any case will be more noticeable.

How to choose a cockroach extermination service?
Hello, this is a very unfortunate situation. We bought a repeller, not only did the cockroaches not disappear, it became even more and began to bite. We all go bitten, we have already called exterminators. Be careful, do not buy repellers, we are now suffering from a headache and tell me how you can return the repeller so that we get our money back. I can’t find the site directly, but the repeller is called banzai. And why do not they write precautions when buying products. Thanks for the article, very helpful.
Brad of the Gray Mare, this is your repeller. It has been connected to the network for almost a month, and the cockroaches both ran and run. And it was necessary for me, the old fool, to buy some sort of rubbish. As always, they fool our brother, they fool him.
Is the site fake?
Ultrasounds, infrasounds... They affect the subconscious of people! (remember how you could play one record on a tube player, but mp3 in digital quickly gets bored). These sounds scare away or lure animals, but there is no point in fighting insects with sound.
Cockroaches from the Pest Reject not only did not disappear or left (died a hero's death) - there are MORE of them! they just began to HEAT on the device, there were much more of them and the device became a place of their constant hangout.On the other hand, it is useful: it lures, and the cluster is immediately covered with dichlorvos, and so on until the cockroaches run out. 🙂
All these typhoons are complete lies. Nothing works. Toys for kids. You oblige the plant to return the money for this divorce, tk. they sell all sorts of heresy, having no idea about nature, or about frequencies, or about insects. All this is a deception, an experiment on people. Buy - good, do not buy - okay. Nobody has any responsibility. Such enterprises need to be ruined so that it would not be customary to produce any x ... I would post a photo, but in this case this is not provided. LLC MNPF "ALEX" - deceivers. How they managed to get the TR for this untested dummy, I wonder. There are fools in our state at all levels. Only an idiot would give a license to manufacture such crap and sell it to the whole country. The enterprise needs to be closed, the officials who issued the licenses should either be imprisoned or soldered to them with a fine for the most I DO NOT WANT.
Can these manufacturers take into account the above feedback and release a device that would lure insects and build an autosplash into it for their methodical destruction.
I tried the Typhoon ls-500 repeller - it's useless. They didn’t take it back in the store, they sent a letter in which they offer an examination. If the examination confirms the quality of the goods, then I still have to pay for the examination. Fool as they want!
Bought Pest Reject yesterday, I'll have a look in a week. And in the course of reading all the coma, I myself will be 100% convinced.
Well, how did this repeller help you or not?
Wow - not a single positive review! And I just ordered this Pest Reject. You'll have to see for yourself what's true.These creatures are vile! Nasty, nasty ... Fu!
Vladimir, this device is nonsense. Cockroaches really like it, they just sit on it and are not afraid of anything. According to the instructions, the device repels cockroaches, provided that it is connected to the network from one to three weeks. I have it online for a month and a half. The result is zero. I use dichlorvos, but cockroaches also get used to it.
I took this kind of device. Only it acts like impulses through the network, i.e. The signal goes through all the wiring in the wall. The tool is good, but I only agree, it helps to repel mosquitoes. Yes, there are fewer cockroaches.
Those who say that even more cockroaches have climbed into them - so there is no need to buy underground non-certified devices. My wife and I ordered from Canada. And even more so, such devices do not kill the cockroach, but only scare away, and they climb to the neighbors. If it comes to that, then the most adequate and effective way is to buy a special lamp with an ultraviolet lamp and put it on for the night, for example, in the usual place where cockroaches accumulate "kitchen". The fact is that cockroaches see in infrared light, and ultraviolet is harmful to them, so they will not appear and will also run away to their neighbors.
I bought the Pest Reject cockroach repeller twice. The second time I believed the story of a friend who "it helped." Don't buy, it's a scam. Moreover, after buying the repeller, I wrote a negative review in order to warn people about the swindle, but, as you understand, my review never appeared. I wish everyone to defeat cockroaches.
I bought an ultrasonic repeller, it does not help from cockroaches, I just threw money away.In addition, the instructions say that the sound is repelled by furniture, etc., like, so they warned that if the cockroaches climb into the gap, then it will not help. I wanted to save money on chemicals, poison, but in the end I bought garbage, and now I will spend money on funds for the destruction of cockroaches. Let's see if it even works on mosquitoes ... Do not believe the advertisements, these repellers are nonsense, they did not help anyone according to reviews.
Complete divorce. Thrown money. The cockroaches really liked the device - they warm themselves on it.
PEST REJECT - full x ... At first, the number of cockroaches noticeably decreased, but after a week the number began to increase! I also saw a white cockroach!
Thanks for the comments, definitely not buying)
Pest Reject from cockroaches, flies and spiders does not help. I wanted to return, they don’t even want to talk, don’t buy, don’t spend money.
So you shouldn't order?
Yes, it's not worth it.
Thanks for the comments, I didn't have time to buy. And what is the most reliable poison from cockroaches?
We have mice, they thought about getting a cat, while the bottom line is, Pest Reject was lying around in the house, it was bought a long time ago from mosquitoes, it did not help from them. Turned on yesterday. Today the mice are practically gone. They don't stick out. I hope thanks to him.
I read reviews ... Everyone speaks so flatteringly about repellers. Well, the cockroaches have not left, well, they have multiplied. But you have less money in your wallet, don't you? So it still works! True, not the way we wanted, but the way they did.
I bought Pest Reject, I was very happy, cockroaches ran around the apartment, as it was written in the instructions. But over time, they became more and more.For half a month they began to move on foot on the floor. The wife took this wonderful device out of the socket and saw that the back cover of the device was covered with cockroaches, they lived there. With the help of this device, I spread insects at home twice as fast.
I read the reviews about the device, I will not buy. Thanks for letting people know about the miracle device.
Thanks everyone for the feedback. And I just fell for the advertisement))
Hmm ... it's good that I didn't spend money on it.
Thanks for the feedback, it's timely.
Thank you all for the truth and the warning.
I went for advertising, I bought a Pest repeller, made in China, a device against cockroaches. Worked for a month, the effect is zero. Anyone who offers this "garbage" has probably lost their human honor and conscience for the sake of their own benefits. We, the generation of the 40s, do not understand what freaks we have brought up. Has the world turned upside down? It's a shame for the lost generation, who have adopted deceit, forgery and all the negativity that is unacceptable in our time. Where are our experts passing toys on sale instead of helping people fight insects.
The funny thing is that in our city they do business on cockroaches, and not bad at that. Think they sell Typhoon and pest repeller? No) They pour young cockroaches into the entrance, then these creatures themselves find a modest corner for themselves. And later, a week later, ads are full of ads on the entrance door: "Quality insect control." Coincidence? I do not think so.
The same bullshit. From the family there were no cockroaches in the house, an announcement appeared, a week later the creatures climbed.
And the same happened to us! I haven't been able to get them out for a year now.Upstairs neighbors are still indifferent and do not want to poison them somehow! As a result, they have already scattered all over the riser. I ordered Pest Reject on the Internet and what I noticed: the big cockroaches were gone, and all the little things come out. Where are the big ones? There are fewer of them, but they have not disappeared! They are not visible during the day.
Similarly
I have noticed that they have crawled into closets etc. where they were never there. Now they are at home in books, in things, anywhere. The repeller stood for almost a year ((And then there were more of them in the kitchen, in general, they bred as a result and became completely insolent!
And the mice also don’t care, as I understand it, they will be affected if there is no furniture and things. And so the rays, meeting with soft things, are extinguished or something like that, and there is little sense.
We also threw money away! And the dream got worse!
And how do you fight cockroaches after this useless toy?
And I wanted to buy, woo!
Thanks a lot for the feedback! And then my father, on the advice of a specialist from a cockroach control company, was already going to buy such a repeller. I will answer.
Ordered Pest Reject, received today. We messed around with bedbugs, I hope for a result. I will watch for two weeks.
Father ordered Lenomax. I did not believe that he would act on these parasites. After switching on, the stasiks rushed out of their nest and rushed about in confusion. Only managed to wet them. It really gets on their nerves, they went berserk and committed suicidal acts. According to the performance characteristics, they are promised that they will escape within 1 to 3 weeks. Of harm - death to rodents (mice, rats, hamsters and guinea pigs), and larger animals are not affected. This is about the fact that you need to read the instructions before use.
Thanks for the feedback! Almost bought it. I will deal with cockroaches in other ways. I have a dog - although they write that it does not work on animals, I don’t want to take risks after reading it!
From cockroaches the best thing is a smoke bomb Silent evening. Even bed bugs disappear!
complete crap
Thanks for the warning, I almost bought it.
Everything that is offered in advertising is a threshing floor, since they would take the good anyway.
About five years ago, I asked myself the question of expelling cockroaches using ultrasound. Since I have knowledge in electronics, I decided to assemble the device myself - it's cheaper and I just like to dig, smoke with a soldering iron. I didn’t find a diagram, but I came across an article with photographs of a disassembled device, where there was a view from both the top and bottom of the printed circuit board. The quality of the photo was quite normal, it was not difficult for me to copy the circuit diagram. After a couple of hours of fiddling with a soldering iron and drawings, I caught a cockroach, put it in a jar and directed the emitter at it. They both sat in silence, me and the cockroach. Then I left this device in the kitchen (I lived in a hostel). A couple of hours later I found cockroaches sitting around this tweeter - peacefully listening to music. There is only one conclusion: all this is nonsense. If you buy devices, then you bring pleasure only to sellers, this will not make it easier for you. Music lovers cockroaches will gather and listen to music.
Thanks for the feedback. Solution: do not buy, but poison.
It’s really very strange and suspicious that everyone is complaining here ... And with one voice) We put a repeller, two days later we forgot about cockroaches at all, and the dream is normal, two children. I don't know what you are complaining about.You take all sorts of crap cheaper, and then suffering.
What device was used? Tell me please.
What bullshit, sorry for the expression, your cockroach repeller is money thrown to the wind. We are simple pensioners, we believe in some kind of miracle, but it does not exist in nature. "Thank you" to the online store for what is written on the fence. And we believe that our money will be stuck with you in one place, I promise you this.
The crap is complete, not a repeller.
We bought a repeller, it sucks, cockroaches crawl on the device. People, do not buy r ... Complete deception.
You are using it incorrectly - you need to get this device right, and then the cockroach is in a cake (although a slipper is still better).
It repels mice, but cockroaches don't care.
The Society for the Protection of Consumer Rights is not fulfilling its functions. There, obviously, the same predators are sitting, as are the manufacturers of ultrasonic cockroach control devices. It is necessary to ruin and imprison false manufacturers of such products with fines and prison for a long time. And do it all over the world, otherwise they will not be removed, like cockroaches. How long will these predators and parasites prosper?
I am very sorry that I bought a repeller - I was fooled, as they say, I paid 300 rubles. I asked my neighbor to order via the Internet - I quickly received it quite enough, plugged it into the outlet for one night. And now I read the reviews and scold myself that I should have read the reviews first. And of course I wouldn't buy it. Now what to do ... It is clear that no one will return the money. And of course I pulled it out of the socket and I'm not going to deal with nonsense anymore.This is how they teach us and they won’t teach us in any way, we will have to poison with gels again, they are more useless. And then if all the tenants were conscious, then one day everyone would apply gels where necessary, and would not give access to water. And there would be an effect. They write on the Internet that the individuals themselves are poisoned and infect their relatives, in two weeks there will be fewer of them, and in three weeks supposedly the cockroaches should disappear. For a year already, several apartments have been fighting with us, but the Prussians are still running around. I also have an opinion that these organizations need money to feed their families, I also come to the conclusion that they throw them in the entrances and then write ads - so that they are called. What people have reduced to - horror. Only for everything you will have to answer to the creator - they do not think about it.
