Ultrasound against cockroaches
All means are good to combat the invasion of harmful insects. Ultrasound for cockroaches is not new to the market. With the help of such devices, they successfully cope with rodents, mosquitoes, spiders and other unwanted fauna. In this article, we will explain how such devices work and how to use them correctly.
Should you use ultrasound for cockroaches?
How ultrasound works against cockroaches
The principle of operation of the device, designed to scare away insects, is based on the fact that they experience discomfort from sound radiation. This can lead to death, but more often it simply scares away from the source of the noise. Ultrasound has proven to be very effective in the fight against mosquitoes, because they communicate with it and it sounds like a danger signal to them. But with scaring off cockroaches, everything is somewhat more complicated.
They lack an organ that can perceive such a frequency.
What do manufacturers and buyers of devices expect? Exclusively for signal strength. The higher its frequency, the more noticeable and higher the effect. The Typhoon scarer, most popular on the domestic market, is quite powerful. Within its range, cockroaches experience maximum anxiety and try to leave the coverage area as quickly as possible.
Manufacturers of less powerful devices recommend purchasing several pieces. This will help create a kind of network in the treated room. Insects try not to fall under its influence and leave or die from hunger and dehydration.
It can be used to get rid of pests subject to a number of conditions:
- sufficiently high power level;
- proven manufacturer;
- the ability to establish a network;
- the room is free of people and pets;
- pre-cleaning with chemicals.
Most often, manufacturers recommend processing the room with dichlorvos or any other means. The ultrasonic repeller does not destroy insects, but only prevents them from entering the room. However, cockroaches are able to adapt very quickly to environmental changes. Over time, they can get used to vibration, and the effect will not be achieved, the radiation will cease to embarrass insects.
As you can see, ultrasound from cockroaches does not eliminate the problem. Whether or not to purchase an ultrasonic repeller, everyone decides on their own, but do not hope to avoid the use of chemicals in this way. Unfortunately, the efficiency of the devices is too low to completely cope with the problem.
