Cockroaches almost never live in the private sector, but they are very fond of apartments. It is very warm there and you can always find enough food. At the same time, it is logical that a person does not like such a neighborhood at all and he tries to find a way to protect his house from insects and at the same time not use chemicals that can harm family members. In fact, there are a lot of insect control products on the market today, but domestic cockroaches do not despair. They adapt, and even if all the residents of the house simultaneously brought out all the insects, several pupae will surely survive in the inter-apartment space, which will give rise to a new colony. That is why when choosing a new tool, everyone is most interested in reviews. The cockroach repeller is a completely new way to deal with annoying guests, which attracts with its simplicity and efficiency. Let's take a look at exactly how these devices work.
What is an electronic repeller
Surely you have already seen similar devicesin the store, or at least heard reviews about them. The cockroach repeller is a small device that just needs to be plugged into the network and it starts emitting ultrasound. It is absolutely invisible to humans, but cockroaches do not like it very much. It would seem that, finally, an effective remedy was found. Domestic cockroaches must now rush from one house to another, bumping into the hated ultrasound everywhere. However, we continue to use the usual gels and aerosols, and observe another invasion from negligent neighbors in our apartment. Therefore, it is extremely interesting to understand this issue. At the same time, reviews will be the best guide for us. You can buy a cockroach repeller at almost any hardware store, but there are a huge variety of models to choose from.
Types of appliances
Everything that exists on the market today is divided into two large groups - these are ultrasonic and electromagnetic repellers. In the first case, insects hear ultrasound and tend to leave its coverage area, and in the second case, the device does not produce sound, but an electromagnetic field. It negatively affects the nervous system of insects, and they tend to go away. However, not always the bright stories of manufacturers are fully realized in reality, which is fully confirmed by the reviews. The cockroach repeller may be too weak and not have the proper effect on insects. In addition, by definition it is already clear that the device does not kill insects, but only forces them to leave a certain territory, that is, to go to their neighbors. And if yourthe repeller turned out to be of poor quality, or burned out during operation, nothing will prevent them from returning to their homes. Today we'll take a look at the most popular models so you can get your bearings.
Typhoon LS-500
This is a fairly well-known ultrasonic cockroach repeller of domestic production. It is equipped with a long wire, which allows you to install the device far enough from the power source. The coverage area is up to 80 m2, that is, one such device is enough for the entire apartment. According to the manufacturers, the device is very reliable and effective in the fight against household pests. An additional plus is the fact that the cockroach cannot get used to it, since the device is equipped with a microcontroller that constantly changes the frequency and duration of the radiation.
Exposure to an electronic device
Ultrasonic cockroach repeller is a non-poisonous spray, after which the effect is visible immediately. It will take 2-3 weeks before the number of insects begins to decline. And their complete disappearance is observed after 1-2 months of its continuous operation. After that, you can turn on the "Typhoon" (cockroach repeller) for prevention, only at night. The cost of this device is 1500 rubles, but buyers are always worried about whether they will give money for a useless box. In fact, there are many reviews, and most of them are positive. People confirm that after several months of using the device, they noticed that all the insects left the apartment. However, there are other reviews that indicate the absence of any effect. Perhaps people have purchased counterfeit devices, which is why they did not appreciate the cockroach repeller LS 500.
Banzai LS927 device
Another device, this time of Thai origin. This electronic cockroach repeller is one of the most effective, it is able to drive away not only insects, but also rodents. Therefore, if your apartment is being attacked by various pests, this remedy can help. In about three weeks, they all leave your territory. However, there is also a problem here. The device owes its high efficiency to a low frequency, that is, even humans and pets can pick up sound. That is why you should not turn it on in a residential area, and especially at night. Judging by the reviews, this is a very good device that will definitely not deceive your expectations, but it is better to use it in utility rooms, and certainly not in the bedroom.
Electronic repeller "WK-600"
This is the most expensive and largest device on the market today. Reliable design allows you to deal with a variety of pests, mice and rats, moles, cockroaches and bedbugs. The Prussian cockroach is one of the most resistant to various external influences of domestic inhabitants, so it is very difficult to remove it. However, this device is equipped with two powerful emitters at once, which provide a wide range of repellent signal in the sound and ultrasonic range.
Features of industrial repeller
The device has nine different modes, thanks to which it can be used both in industrial premises, up to 350 m2, and in residential premises. You can choose the desired intensity of action: from completely silent operation to the most aggressive radiation. This is a Belgian-made device, its cost is quite comparable with the technical characteristics, and is about 4900 rubles. This is probably why there are very few reviews on the operation of the device, almost all inhabitants prefer more affordable insect repellers. In addition, the Prussian cockroach is considered not such a dangerous pest, the fight against which would require spending such a large amount. In addition, there are still a huge number of different products on the market that allow you to quickly get rid of annoying insects. A little later we will look at them too.
Ecosniper Cockroach Repeller
This is a stationary, magnetic resonance device that allows you to quickly and effectively defeat annoying insects. It works effectively against almost all pests and rodents, in particular mice, rats and cockroaches. Ecosniper generates various sound waves, which prevents insects from becoming accustomed. The device works quite quickly, it will take from two to six weeks to completely remove the above pests, rodents and insects from your home. The device is designed for fairly large rooms, its coverage area is 185m2. The cost is 1200 rubles, that is, the device falls intoaverage price category.
How gel cockroach remedies work
As we already wrote before, in addition to the fairly reliable models of repellers listed above, there are a number of different models that undermine people's confidence in these devices, since they do not give any effect. Therefore, some prefer proven gel-based products. They are produced on the basis of insecticides, and in most cases these are poisonous substances that affect the nervous and digestive systems of insects. Moreover, all gel-based preparations also contain aromatic substances that are attractive to cockroaches. Trying the poison, insects spread it to places where insects accumulate on their paws, which attracts other insects. That is why the cockroach gel will sooner or later lead to the death of the entire colony.
Most popular gels
Today it is Raptor and Brownie gel. We will not talk about them separately, as they are similar in many ways. Judging by consumer reviews, it is these two products that allow you to quickly and without he alth risk cope with the largest insect invasion. In this case, you do not need to wait for weeks, after a few hours the effect will be observed, and in the morning after applying the product, you will find a large number of brown corpses in the corners. The only drawback is the short-term effect. After 3-4 weeks, the gel will dry out, and the cockroaches coming from the neighbors will be able to live and breed in peace.
How to use the gel correctly
In fact, the electronic repeller looks simpler. It is enough to connect it to a power source and that's it, after about three weeks you will be able to observe a gradual decrease in individuals in your apartment or office. However, if for some reason you decide to use insecticides, then opt for gel products. Sprays and tablets are much more toxic, crayons do not give a visible result, so this form is optimal due to its high efficiency and convenient application form. First of all, you will need to check the expiration date, and then apply the remedy to the places that are most often visited by cockroaches. It can be a sink, a place behind the refrigerator and under the baseboards, behind the cornices and radiators. Gel from cockroaches is applied in drops in the form of a dotted line. After about three weeks, it is necessary to renew the application of the gel for prevention and for the destruction of hatched offspring.
Summarize
Today we have considered a large number of models of electronic scarers, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. There are a sufficient number of high-quality devices that can give an excellent result, but there are also many cheap fakes that are not worth buying, the result from their use will be zero. In parallel with ultrasonic devices, gel-based preparations do not lose their popularity, which are also a safe and effective tool, which is characterized by the highest speed of impact oninsects.
