[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 422032, member: 1991"] My understanding is that they have been tested independently and they do not work. Our consumer organisation in Australia has tested them, I'm certain, and they were a dud. Even if they did work, they are not socially responsible because it would just drive the problem from your house to your neighbour's. What gets me about the ads for these - these gadgets are supposed to work brilliantly on all kids of pests, but are harmless for pets. So - how does a gadget distinguish between a wild mouse, and your pet mouse? Also, how come it affect mice and rats (mammals) but not cats and dogs (also mammals)? My recommendation - the most effective way to eliminate rodents from your home is to get a python. We have wild Diamond Pythons here (aka carpet snakes). Most farms have at least one, they encourage them to literally hang around to clean up the rodent problem. Better than cats. We often find a large (3 metres plus) snake in the chook house, lying in wait for a mouse or rat. Marg [/QUOTE]
