Pest controllers...

16 years ago

Not sure if I'm in the right forum or not, but... Has anyone used those plug-in pest controllers? I keep seeing them for sale & have been tempted so many times to buy a set, but I don't want to waste my $$. Also, I know they say they're safe for domestic pets, but are they?

Any comments would be appreciated!

They are safe for pets because they don't do anything to hurt any animals, pets or pests.

jdbillp~ Thanks for your reply.

I suppose I should've re-worded my OP. I didn't think they would do anything to *physically* hurt any animal, I was just under the impression that they emitted a sound that pests didn't like & I didn't want it to annoy my 2 dogs.

I think maybe I should have been clearer.

They don't work.

I had a number of these pest controllers around my house - they did nothing.
