If relaxing or working outdoors where you live feels like killing time in a bug-infested torture chamber, the Mosquito Trap from Lentek may be your liberator. Powered by propane and electricity, the trap covers up to 3/4 of an acre at a time and runs for up to four weeks on a single tank of propane. Operating without toxic fumes, the trap uses a combination of carbon dioxide, moisture, color, airflow, and thermal imaging (simulated body temperature) to ensnare blood-sucking, egg-laying female insects. With use over time, the mosquito population in the area should markedly decline.

Set up of the trap is simple, as is removing the dead bugs from their mesh capture chamber. Designed to be weather-proof, the trap includes three stakes for securing it to the ground. Keep in mind that the unit is most effective when placed 30-40 feet from the area you want to rid of mosquitoes, so it may require an extension cord or creative placement. Lentek also emphasizes that the trap is made for gradual, around-the-clock use, not for occasional or immediate extermination. Assembled, the trap stands 53-1/2 inches high and measures 18 inches in diameter at the base ring. It is UL-listed and comes with a one-year warranty. --Emily Bedard ... Read more

Works great on ants
We usually have an ant problem every summer. This summer, we were fighting a losing battle, with spraying inside and outside the house, ant traps, etc. Every day, coming home from work, we would find an ant trail somewhere in the kitchen or living room. We bought these Lentek Pest Repellers as a last resort, and were pretty skeptical. However, just one day after plugging them in (we used all 3 units in the kitchen at first), the ants totally disappeared from inside the house. They are still plentiful outside the house, but have stayed off the inside for over 3 weeks now. We have now reduced it to just one unit per room, and the ants have not come back.

Spiders are another issue though. We found daddy-long-legs hanging from the unit the first day we installed them. However, they may have been confused!??? After getting rid of those spiders, we have not seen anymore. We are not sure what the long-term effect on spiders is, but we are totally convinced they work on ants.

So Far So Good
I suggested my mother try these after years of problems with monster waterbugs in her suburban Philadelphia town house. With her living in an urban area blocks away from a river she has tried everything to rid her house of these disgusting creatures. Exterminators are only a temporary fix due to the fact that the waterbugs just leave and go to the adjoining house next door and then come back when the spray wears off. The roach traps get a few of them but didn't stop them from being in the bathroom and kitchen and scattering when she would turn the light on. The insect problems are bad this year due to our mild winter and when she saw them appearing in her bedroom something had to be done.

She installed these Lantek Pest Repellers a week ago and after encountering waterbugs in the spring/summer daily for years she has not seen one in her house since the day she plugged them in. Her home is very small (about 900 sq. feet) and she bought 2 (3 packs) so she was sure to have enough coverage. Although it does not seem to effect the tiny ants from coming in under the kitchen back door (where she has 2 plugged in) she would much rather have ants to deal with than the 2inch Philadelphia waterbugs. Although the neighbors probably aren't to happy right now because all of the critters probably ran to their house. The true test will be the next time we have a drought when the problem is usually the worst. That is when they come into the homes in mass numbers seeking water. But so far so good. I am going to order some myself to see if it helps with the Yellow Sac spiders and the huge numbers of bats that we have in our neighborhood that sometimes get into the homes. I do recommend these, they do work on certain insects but from what I have seen, not ants. The repellers are much smaller than what they appear to be in the photo (about 2x3 inches) which is a plus because we have a 1920 home with baseboard sockets and don't have to worry about them being too large to fit into the receptacle.

Don't waste your money
I read all the reviews wanting to believe that these would help me and crossed my fingers for the half that said yes, they worked. Tonight, I just caught another mouse in my room (where I've got two of these things plugged in). Earlier, I'd purchased one to cover a larger area and although it deters them, I actually think it caused them to run into my room from the kitchen to get away from the noise, as I'd never had them in my room before (In two weeks since buying these, I still saw 2 or 3 mice).

Anyway, my advice is not to waste your money on these. I'm going to start charging the mice rent.

not effective pest control
this seemed to work initially, but after about a month (and, not so coincidentally, when it started to get cold outside) i was finding mouse droppings less than a foot away from the device!
i spoke with a veterinarian that specializes in digusting rodents (rats, mice, guinea pigs, gerbils) and she said that it's just like living next to the train tracks - it emits an annoying sound, but eventually the little suckers get used to it.

Pest Repeller..... NOT!
This was the worst purchase I've ever made in my crusade against the ants and spiders that have taken over my home! I have MORE pests now than I did before. Actually had ants crawling on one of the repeller units. If you're thinking about buying this product... DON'T waste your money. You'd be better off with a couple of cans of Raid! ... Read more

It works for me.
This is the first time I've ever felt compelled to write a review for a product. The reason for my review of this product is because, quite simply, it works for me, and it would seem that, based on most of the other reviews here, it needs a vote of confidence.
During the Spring and Summer months I used to have a problem with raccoons climbing up onto my wood deck and then defecating in the corners. There would be a new pile at least two or three times a week. Quite a smelly mess to have to clean up all the time, not to mention the stains left in the wood. After getting the Lentek YC12G all I did was mount it on the deck near the stairs and turn it on. It's been nearly 3 months and not one sign of raccoon activity on my deck. I even adjusted the alarm volume to a barely audible level and still no raccoons.
I bought the Lentek YC12G, despite the negative reviews I read here. I knew it would be a gamble but I was desperate to find a solution. I'm just glad I gave it a try because the gamble paid off.

Great Alarm System - Poor pest repellent.
We purchased this to keep dogs away. It did not do it. I did use it too chase away a rabbit building a nest in our ornamental grass, it worked very well.

But, we use it as an alarm. It works fantasticly. We use it indoors to let us know if someone is in the house while we are sleeping. It is much cheaper than any human alarm system I could buy and lets me sleep much better at night knowing I would get advance notice before anyone gets to where we sleep.

Also, we have a toddler, who may want to wander, it also informs us when he is trying to go wandering before he gets very far.

Anytime you want to know if something or someone is coming, it is ideal.

I would not rate it highly for its stated purpose though. It makes audible sound even on the animal settings.

But, it does make a darn good alarm!

doesn't work
we had a barking dog problem. The neighbor tried all sorts of creative and useless ways to stop it, one of which was this. It kept the dog quite for maybe 20 to 30 seconds then he quickly figured out it was just more background noise and completely ignored it. Perhaps we should have just used it as a club?

BAD SERVICE
After few hours the strobe light quit working. We sent Yard Contro back to Lentex Dec 2002. We have tried at least 20 times to find out what is going on we have been told we sent you a new unit 3 times and never received it. We were told we will send your money back twice. We have been told they are out of stock. Now their phone service is not working. Save your money and alot of frustration and buy something else. 7/22/03 still have not received a new unit or our money back. We are still calling as of this date. We call aleast once a week. Their phone service is out of order.

Pure Junk, buy the Weitech instead.
I have been sucessfully using the Weitech Yard protector continuously for two years. But I keep the frequency set for cats only. Any other frequency may irritate the neighborhood dogs.
Unfortunately, a band of racoons recently began to terrorize my pond at night. So I decided to add a second motion sensitive pest repeller. I had hoped the Lentek yard control would compliment the Weitech. BUT, the Lentek is a piece of junk right out of the box. The motion sensor immediately activates and never turns off. It would not be so bad if the strobe light was not constantly flashing. I plan on trashing the Lentek and buying another Weitech. ... Read more

Repeller? Heh...
My experience with this repeller is negative: the mice are actually ATTRACTED instead of being repelled. It's been plugged for a month, and here's the result; we've never had that much mice before.

I'm disappointed, to say the least.

Poor Performance
Placed in garage. Found mice attempting to set up a nest some 15 feet away from this device.

Keeps the mice away!
Ever since plugging in this product, I have had no mice visitors. Completely satisfied with results!

A great product!!!
I just recently moved into a newly built home which is located on the site of an old farm. Because of the wooded location, I initially had problems with mice and rats infiltrating my garage. Since I collect classic and modern sports cars, and these animals can do tremendous damage to the interiors of these cars, I needed some way to get rid of them. Regardless, I didn't want to kill the animals (I'm big-hearted and couldn't kill anything), but I did want them GONE! I bought two of these Pest Repellers for a large garage, and since plugging them in, I have not seen one instance of any critters in there. Highly recommended!

keeps mice away
I have read studies from several universities on these type of units. In general they will not drive off established mice concentrations, but are effective in keeping mice from becoming established. I have experienced the same result. Every winter I trap at least 5 mice in my garage. Last fall I installed one of these and I have not had any mice. ... Read more

Flying, crawling, darting, and conniving pests will be shaking in their boots when you arm your household with the PestContro Deluxe. This nifty device plugs into a standard electrical wall outlet; is silent as, well, a mouse; looks like an air freshener; and really works. Varmints of all sorts--from rats to squirrels to fleas--head for the hills when the PestContro is activated. How does it work? PestContro Deluxe has a unique system that combines electromagnetic and ultrasonic technology. In layman's terms, it transmits a harsh, high-pitched sound through the air into the coverage area, including walls, ceilings, and floors. The sound is inaudible to humans, but if you want to hear what your cockroach hears, just press the test button on top of the device. Basically, the noise drives pests nuts and they skedaddle. The handy instruction booklet gives you lots of tips on setting the right frequency to snag the right pest. The best thing about this device is that it uses no chemicals, so it's safe around children and pets. --C. Whitney-Ward ... Read more

It makes a noise humans can hear
Despite the manufactures claims this unit makes noise. It has two frequency levels, super high for flying insects and lower for mice. I had it running for a few days in my kitchen on the lower setting. My house is having foundation repair right now so is somewhat open to the elements around the basement. I wanted to keep mice setting up home this fall.

One day I had a friend over for diner. Within a few hours of being over, she came down with a headache. Just a mild one, but enough to make her comment about it. Later as she came into the kitchen to see what I was doing, she asked me what that high pitched sound was. I figured she had seen the box for the PestContro machine and was pulling my leg - but she hadn't. I went over to the box and set it to its highest frequency and she could no longer hear it, but whenever I put it into the lower setting, she would wince with pain. I noticed that I could hear a faint static noise coming from the machine when it was set to the lower frequency too, but nothing like what my friend could hear. I unplugged the device. Within an hour her headache had gone away. I'm returning my PestContro machine.

Lentek PestContro Deluxe
Have bought 6 of them for rodent control in 5 locations. In one house, noise from rats or squirrels had kept both adults awake the night before - they have not heard a sound since. I have two PestContros in my house where we have rats and many squirrels. We have not heard any since PestContros installed and don't remember even seeing squirrels on the roof outside or in their favorite little tree by the house. Our total evaluation time since the first PestContro is just over a month and the last three have not arrived yet so the above comments are early and only represent two houses. However, we expect good rodent results in the other three where rats and squirrels are known to be living. We like the night light feature too. Had to return one PestContro when it developed a 60HZ hum but got a quick replacement. Can't comment on bug control fairly - we have not seen any but we have a bug contract and usually don't see many.

Great buy!
Since I have installed, I've never seen any kind of pest in my house (except me). It worked since the first minute. I'm very happy, my family also.

It works for me.
I am living in a fairly small apartment (less than a thousand square feet) and the device works nicely. I set it at high frequency in the first place. But I could still see a few roaches crawling around after one week. Then I tried the low frequency setting, and then in a few days the number of roaches was greatly reduced. In around two-week time all the roaches vanished. Now my place is free of the annoying roaches. I am very pleased.

Attracts more roaches!!!!!
We [bought] this product...It didn't repel any insects at all. Instead, we were constantly seeing roaches and roach droppings *around* the unit. It actually attracted them instead of repelling them!!! DO NOT BUY!!! ... Read more

No Lunch For Mosquitos
Only once did I go without my Lyntek Mosquito controller. That was the time that I got my one mosquito bite for the summer of 2002. I have watched the mosquitos stay at bay for a ridius of aprox. six feet. (I kept it set on the "Dragonfly Setting.)

When we went camping, there were others in our party that didn't have a control so before going to sleep, I hung it on a hook so that it would protect everyone in our party. It did.

I am presently on line trying to find a vendor so that I can buy more of them for us and relatives.

mosquitos 10/lentek 0
We live near a river, so our mosquito population is pretty dense, and I was excited about the possibility of getting such a neat device that would keep the critters away from me as I move about the yard. Unfortunately it just doesn't work. When I sat at my patio, looked at my wrist, the once with the Lentek MC05C strapped on, and saw mosquitos blatntly having lunch, I knew they had outwitted me again. I don't know about the other Lentek devices, but this one is a dud.

It doesn't work.
I put battery in, turned it on to the 2nd position (dragonfly sound) and walked toward an area in my backyard where mosquitoes are abundant. They swarmed me, some flying right next to the unit. I tried the 1st, silent position with no change.

I cannot believe that the company can even make the claim that this repels mosquitoes. My only guess is that in the absence of a person, it may work, but with the temptation of a bloodmeal, they seem to ignore this thing.

Too good to be true.

It really works!
Believe it or not, this thing is really effective in keeping mosquitos away from you. I have used it over the past two years at Lake Tahoe and it is very effective. ... Read more

Older homes are charming but having mice and rats every winter is definitely not. This pest control system keeps furry visitors away without the use of messy traps. Instead, the Pest Patrol repels rodents from your living spaces with a humane ultrasonic noise that is audible to them but not to other humans or house pets. This unit plugs right into any outlet and begins emitting ultrasonic sound through a single speaker when you turn on the power switch. The Pest Patrol also has a floor light that you can set to shine across the path that your uninvited house guests take most often. In addition to getting rid of pests right in your house, this dual system also employs electromagnetic technology, which sends a powerful signal through walls to discourage mice and rats from nesting in spaces you can’t even see. The electromagnetic signal is safe for all electrical wiring and, again, cannot be detected by any household creatures bigger than rodent size. The Pest Patrol covers up to 2,500 square feet and is recommended for those living in average-sized homes. This pest repeller also works for cockroaches and other insect-type pests and is covered by a two-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde ... Read more

Excellent for killing mosquitoes in the house, but. . .
I have owned the 4 bulb e-trap for over three years. Nothing worse than mosquitoes that come in the house - and the e-trap does attract and kill them with little fuss - BUT the bulbs do not last very long. The first time they went out Lentek sent me an entire replacement unit instead of just the bulbs. Another month went by and they too started to dim. I finally called customer service this year and was told 4 weeks was the average life span for the bulbs. . .so I ordered an entire case of replacements at just under [$$] each. Very expensive! But also the only gadget I have found that kills mosquitoes efficiently in the house without pesticides and such. It now makes me wish I had purchased the two bulb unit instead of the 4 bulb unit! ... Read more

GREAT stops birds from flying into windows
i had a very good experience with this product. bought one then bought six more and have had them up a few years now. they successfully stopped the challenge we were having of song birds flying into the picture windows. we tried the strips, the sonic thing (didn't work and i was scared of what else it might be doing) the hologrphic butterflys on suction cups (worked, looked goofy - blocked view and blew off in 1/2 a season) also tried the black silouettes of the rapters (they were creeepy looking i thought). this bye-bye birdie worked for us and i was just on here going to get the info for some neighbors and read these bad reviews and had to let people know that if you are trying to stop birds from flying into your picture windows and killing themselves this product worked well for us.

BIRD BRAIN'S
I think this device is actually meant to attract birds.

I could be rich but I am too ethical!
I would have loved to been in on the product planning session for this piece of junk. I am continually amazed at what people will do to make money for themselves. And I am continually amazed at the people that give it to them for useless products such as this. People that buy this type of item should get a clue. Or go back to school and finish that science class they kept cutting.

People buy these?
I'd like to see the research that backs up this pretty but useless gimmick. My guess is that, if it has any effect whatsover, that effect comes from the holographic image, the wings, and the movement in the wind. By bye money1

Waste of Money & Time
This product is worthless!! I tried it on my Fig plants to keep the mocking birds away. I could see the birds several feet away looking at the power wing and enjoying my Figs. The folks at Lentek did not back up the product. It may make a good office paper weight! ... Read more

GREAT Stops birds from crashing into windows
i bought one then bought 6 more and have recommended them to homeowners who have large picture windows. we had a challenge with the song birds flying into the windows and tried the sonic thing, the hawk sillouttes (work but look creepy) and the hologrphic butterflys on suction cups (those worked but were goofy looking and blew off in high winds). this product was a challenge to get up there but has worked really well now for 3 years and i got enought to put outside of all of the windows and we haven't had any more birds flying into windows.

the other reviewer wanted a deterant to have birds i recommend those snappy things or trying the holographic tape. this product i think is just supposed to stop birds from flying into the windows and it does a really good job.

Is it worth it?
I bought TWO (02) Bye Bye Birdie Wings and placed them on a relatively short balcony (10 meters long). After 3 weeks, the pidgeons were back. I tried moving the devices around, putting them in different locations, put the birds kept coming. I sometimes see the birds standing on the balcony railing, right on top of the 'Wings' !!

Many electric bug zappers kill insects on contact, which can releasebacteria, viruses, and insect parts into the atmosphere. The Lentek electronicflying insect trap captures and kills bugs in a closed chamber instead, withoutexploding them. Lured into the trap by ultraviolet lights, insects receive alow-voltage shock that disables them, causing them to drop into a dehydrationchamber where they quickly die. Suitable for indoor/outdoor use andenvironmentally safe, the device includes one stand for floors or counters andanother for wall-mounting. Clean and simple to empty, the removable chamberdrawer has a see-through lid so you can see what you've trapped before you dumpit. Standing 18-3/4 by 12-3/4 inches and glowing, this trap isn't exactlyinvisible; it is, however, only 3-5/8-inches deep and a discreet buff color.Plus, it's soundless, without the insect-electrocuting noise of bug zappers.

Broken after 2-months of use - Zero stars - NOT recommeneded
I've had this bug killer for two months, and it broke. The lights inside the trap no longer work ... after two months. The amazing fact is that it was only used intermittently during those two months. Tried to return it to Amazon, but they would not accept it for a refund/exchange ... terrible limited-time period return policy. I would NOT recommend that you buy this product or any Lentek product for that matter.

The portable Lentek MC04 MosquitoContro clears your home, deck, orcampsite of biting mosquitoes with three barely audible frequencies. Two of thefrequencies imitate the wing sound of male mosquitoes, which pregnant femalemosquitoes--the biters--like to avoid. The third frequency imitates the wingsound of the dragonfly, a mosquito predator. Standing 4-1/2-inches tall, theMosquitoContro protects a 16-by-16-foot area and won't affect household pets orchildren. While you can only use one frequency at a time, the MosquitoControdoes provide you with a volume control so you can adjust for bug density andarea coverage.

Waste of Money
This product does NOT repel mosquitoes at all three settings. It's a waste of money. The best way to kill mosquitoes is by using chemicals.

Be sure to use lots of Backwoods Off with this product.
If the frequencies on this product do indeed work it must attract mosquitoes because it does not repel them. As the previous writer said, A complete waste of money.

A completely waste of money
What I thought was going to be a clean/safe way to deter mosquitos turned out to be a complete waste of money. I tracked
down a mosquito that was sitting on my bathroom wall and tested the device out. With all 3 settings (the 2 male mosquitos and the dragonfly) on the loudest at around 6 inches from the mosquito, the thing wasn't even phased and sat there. I even tried to adjust the volume up and down thinking that the sound amplitude might have an effect. Again, the bugger was still parked on my wall. I'm going to return this thing ASAP and I'm also wondering what the previous reviewer was smoking giving this product a 5 star rating...

No more mosquitos!!

It works great. It was easy to put together and I have had it running for a month with out any problems. I'd recommend getting one. I have seen the more expensive models but didn't want to spend the thousand dollars they are priced at. I knew if they worked that someone would come up with a reasonably priced version. This model really works I set it up in April thinking nothing would really happen because it was too early in the season but I check a couple of days later and there were quite a

Plugged into the wall, the smokeless Tombevaporates mosquito-killing chemicals contained in a Tomb mat insert. With adiameter of 2-1/2 inches, the Tomb effectively rids up to 2300 cubic feet of thebuzzing bugs. A red light indicates when the Tomb is functioning, and the matsconveniently turn white when they're used up--usually after 10 to 12 hours. Apowerful anti-insect device, the Tomb should not be used in rooms with pets oropen aquariums or where people are sleeping. When mosquitoes aren't a problem,you can use the Tomb's aromatic oil chambers to add fragrance to your rooms.--Emily Bedard ... Read more

I bought this pest contro back in 1997
This device is very good, I didn't had roaches, spiders in my apartment since 1997. However, after the black out on 2003 in new york city, my 2 pest contro devices stopped working appropiately. Therefore I am forced to buy 2 new pest contro's.

After reading previous comments about the products, I guess it depends where you live. I happen to live in a 30 floor building and it works fine for me, the only problem I had was after the blackout and the devices started making a twitching sound. Probably due to the power failure, the pest contros were no longer in use. From that point my kitchen has small roaches and about 3 adult roaches by my kitchen table. I bought a newer version called "pest patrol" after the black out and that one didn't do a thing.

I`ll take a shot with the original pest contro, and I rather use this product than the newer ones that seem to have dissapointed a lot of consumers here at amazon.

Does Nothing Against Insects
After purchasing this to help battle a cockroach infestation, I learned that insects do not "hear" the ultrasonic frequency emitted by this device. Nevertheless, I plugged in two in my kitchen and my roach problem was not helped. I understand that it may help with rodents, however.

This little device is a complete hoax for insect problems.

PestContro Delivers
I bought this product from a TV infomercial five years ago during the summer. Because we did have a recurring problem with various pests and we didn't want to deal with the expense of a monthly pest control company fee, I decided to take a chance on what was considered pretty radical technology then-using ultrasonic and magnetic sound to drive away pests in your home. Plus I liked the idea of not using toxic fumes. I got the product, actually read the instructions, and plugged it in using an extension cord (doesn't slow down it's effectiveness) so I could position it correctly under our dining table with an unobstructed view. The rest of that year, I saw some improvement, but not a lot-it slowed down the march of spiders coming in from the fall rains, and kept most of the mice from coming in to watch TV in the winter (we live near a wooded area, so pests are unavoidable), but there was nothing to get really excited about. The next spring brought some surprises though...the mean green flying machine did not take over our home as usual. By that I mean the flies, bees, mosquitos, gnats, etc. They would come in, and after awhile, you could actually see them frantically trying to get back out...if they didn't, you'd find them RIP'd on your windowsill the next time you dusted. The next thing we noticed that our dog stopped having problems with fleas-to the point that we were able to stop buying extra flea control for him. He's not stupid either-whenever our poodle has had a visit with another unprotected dog, he would come in and lie down right in the line of sight of PestContro :) That summer marked a real slowdown in spider population, and we only got one rodent visitor that winter. Since then, except for an occasional dusting of its casing, I haven't touched or moved our PestContro from under the dining table. Also, our lives have been pretty much pestfree. No, we are not totally 'free' of pests, but I didn't expect PestContro to do that-I just wanted to slow down the 'colony' and to keep them from taking up residence-In my opinion, PestContro delivered on that promise.

Very Poor
I ordered two for the price of one, I received one and one month later I was told that the second item was no long available. Now I no longer have the package or the bill to send the first back.

No more ants
This product works great for getting rid of ants. We had many last year and this year, hardly any....the unit is in the kitchen so this year, we see ants in the basement. I just bought 2 more units so I can put one on each floor. ... Read more

Like all pest control devices - this too is ineffective
We have one of these high end units on each floor of our house, plus many of the Lentek lower models. None of them work... at all.

I am pleased
We tried this product out with some distrust. But we bought two of them, knowing that if they did work back they go to the mfr. But they have worked. Flies and ladybugs, which are normally everywhere by now, are nowhere to be found in our house. We are also using these to help with getting rid of some bats in the ceiling area. Will by another one. ... Read more

Got Rid of My Mouse
Sitting in my comfy chair reading a book, I thought I saw something move. "Maybe I should get my eyes checked," I thought to myself. Later I saw something scurry past the doorway again going the other way. Eeeeeek! (I didn't actually say it.) I had a mouse. After a few nights of unsuccessfully chasing the little guy with a broom and a shoebox, I saw an ad for this gizmo in a mailer. "What the hey, you never know." I bought one. I felt like Wiley Coyote ordering a trap from ACME.

I used it in the living room, then tried it in the kitchen. It has two features: 1.) an electromagnetic pulse and 2.) an ultrasonic noise. The electromagnetic pulse uses the wiring in your house to broadcast a signal throughout your whole house. This is supposed to mess with the mouse. The ultrasonic feature will only work in one room and works best if you don't hide it behind furniture. The mouse can hear high-pitched noise blaring; you can't. I use both features. I think the ultrasonic part is more important, but that is just my guess.

After a few weeks, there were no more cracker crumbs in the cabinets and no more little mouse presents. Has to be over a year now and I have had no more problems with mice.

Pros: Worked for me.

Con: Took a few weeks to work. You should keep it plugged in the wall 24/7 365 days a year, so it takes up a wall outlet. (You might want to take it out if you have a dinner party or a hot date.) ... Read more

Effective for lawns, gardens, ball fields, golf courses, and other areaspests disrupt, this battery-operated device repels moles, gophers, groundsquirrels, voles, and other burrowing animals by generating sonic sound waves.It's both humane and environmentally friendly, an alternative to traps andpoisons. It automatically generates sound waves (which become vibrations in theground) every 15 seconds, convincing animals danger lurks so that they flee.Because varying soil conditions transmit sound waves differently, a switchpermits adjustment to 300, 400, or 500 Hz, depending on what's effective.

A Waste of Effort
I have both this as well as a Weitech model. The gophers don't even seem to notice the noise, regardless of frequency setting. They are continuing to eat plants less than 1 foot away from the noisemakers.

poor construction
Regarding the other buyer's review of the construction issue, the tip on both units I ordered incurred the same problem, thus the watertight "seal" becomes faulty and water enters the unit. One of the units corroded from the water and stopped working within 2 weeks of installation. I now have gopher activity within 100sf of the working unit (installed 5 weeks), and in solid clay soil, which is supposedly the best soil for operation. So far, not so good.

Wonder worker!!
I was skeptical of this until I tried it. We had a regular mole interstate in our front yard. I planted this in the center of the yard and the moles have gone elsewhere. I've order two more to increase the coverage... but it does work wonders!!

The only drawback in the design is the way the tip is secured. I pulled the stake out of the ground and the tip was left behind; in order to extract the tip, I had to dig it out (which was a messy proposition... at best). ... Read more

Doesn't work
There seemed to be less evidence of gophers in the beginning, but they are back as usual. I've been using it for three months.

Sorry, it doesn't work
I have tried everything to get rid of moles: castor oil-based repellents, grubicides, balls of fishing line, smoke bombs, car exhaust and these sonic repellents. The fact is: the only effective way to control moles is to trap (ie. English scissors) or spear them. These MoleContro's do seem to annoy the critters into moving elsewhere, but the effect is only temporary (lasting about two weeks). Even this effect is difficult to determine because moles change their digging patterns over time and you can't tell if the repellents worked or if they had just gone somewhere else on their own. In any case, after two weeks, they burrow up to and around the repellents with impunity.

It seems to work...
I installed the MoleContro in the flower bed last night. This morning I didn't see those eerie holes and mulch scattered everywhere. So, it seems to be working. The annoyance is that you can still hear the faint buzzing sound within 4-5 feet of the MoleContro even though the whole device is buried underground (with only the cap and ring visible). I guess I just have to tune it out somehow... ... Read more
