The bedbug repeller is the latest invention that allows you to get rid of parasites without much effort. A small device operates on the basis of ultrasound and electromagnetic waves. Prolonged exposure of insects to the repeller leads to disruption of the nervous system. Parasites voluntarily leave the premises.
What ultrasonic repellers are on the market?
Currently, the market is simply overflowing with insect repellers of domestic and foreign production. Chinese ones are in great demand for obvious reasons - low price. The device itself is a small box with several lights and buttons. Most of them have the ability to change modes. The prices for ultrasonic repellers vary. There are cheap products of economy class, mid-price category, and expensive ones. According to the principle of operation, they are practically no different. The whole difference is in the diameter of the impact, the reliability of the mechanism itself. Cheap repellers use a conventional sound sensor. Mid-range devices use ultrasound with a relatively small impact diameter. In order for insects to experience discomfort, it is necessary to install several devices in one room in different corners. Expensive repellers have a similar mechanism of action, but a large radius of ultrasound; high-quality materials are used for manufacturing.
The repeller runs on batteries or is connected to a power source using an outlet. Since long-term continuous operation of repellers is required, you should pay attention to the quality of the device itself and the materials from which it is made. Otherwise, the trendy repeller will simply melt.
Dangerous or not for humans
The increased power of ultrasonic and electromagnetic repellers has a negative effect not only on parasites, but also on humans and/or pets. Many people begin to complain of headaches, stress, sleep disturbances, etc. So it is recommended to use such devices with great caution.
Some types of fumigators also cause harm to apartment residents and pets. Therefore, before use, make sure that the device or composition can be used in a residential area.
Don’t forget to take the following precautions when working with aerosols:
- use safety glasses;
- avoid contact of the product with skin and mucous membranes;
- Before treatment, remove all food, dishes, clothing, etc. from the affected area.
Types of repellers
Nowadays it is difficult to keep track of the names of insect repellers, but the following brands are especially popular:
- Typhoon is a representative of domestic products. It looks like a Soviet radio. The weight of the device is 200 grams. Works exclusively from the network. It is possible to switch the sound mode, which prevents insects from becoming accustomed to ultrasound of a certain frequency. The device costs around 1100 rubles.
- Banzai is a Chinese product that does not stand out in any way. A small white box for all types of insects at once. In this case, only 2 modes are switched. A menacing looking samurai with a sword. Judging by customer reviews, bedbugs are not afraid of sound or sword. Battery operated. The cost of the repeller is about 100 rubles. Repellers made in Russia are produced under the same brand name. How they differ is not particularly clear, but the cost of one device is already around 1,500 rubles. Impact radius 25 sq. m. Powered by network.
- Tornado is again a domestic product designed to combat rodents. A powerful drug whose waves can overcome obstacles. The action extends to the entire room and neighboring ones. Does not affect the operation of other devices or human well-being. The cost of a Tornado depends on its power - from 1800 to 6200 rubles.
- EMR-21 is a Bulgarian-made device. Powered by network. It is an inconspicuous white box with a screen and several buttons for switching modes. In addition to ultrasound, it creates an electromagnetic field, which increases the effectiveness of the device in the fight against bedbugs. After connecting, resonant small vibrations arise in the electrical network wiring, they are transmitted to the walls, affect the condition of the insects, and force them to leave the shelter. The cost of the repeller is around 1100 rubles.
- Ecosniper - produced in Russia. More like a mine. Round in shape, grayish in color, with flashing lights. Designed to repel rodents, birds and insects. Can be used outdoors and indoors. The cost of the device is about 1300 rubles.
- Pest Reject is a drug on which special hopes are placed. The action begins immediately after connecting to the outlet. In addition to ultrasonic waves, it creates an electromagnetic field that is unfavorable for insects. Impact radius up to 200 sq. m. There is no need to buy 2 devices. One repeller will cope with living creatures on its own. The cost of Pest Reject is within 2000 rubles, which makes it especially popular. The device is actively sold via the Internet.
Classification of repellents
Ultrasound against bedbugs is not the only option for controlling parasites. Other means are also used. They differ in their level of efficiency and electrical parameters. Each device affects people differently.
When selecting a device,
The load on the electrical network must also be taken into account.
Considering that such equipment must be used for a long period, it is important to purchase a bedbug repeller that will be characterized by low energy consumption, which will avoid increased costs for utility bills.
Fumigator
This is the name of a device that is designed to destroy/repel insects, including bedbugs. The operating principle is based on the release of a toxic substance into the air when the ambient temperature changes. However, the dose of poison is small, so there is a change in the behavior of the pests; they do not crawl closer than is permissible, but do not die.
Bedbugs are afraid of products that have a more pronounced odor, for example, ammonia, kerosene, and toxic substances. When the fumigator is turned on, insects also react to the released compounds, so they try not to fall into the zone of its influence. At best, they will go in search of a new source of food, because they do not like to be in conditions in which they feel severe discomfort.
However
there is a possibility that they will continue to reproduce, but they will attack at different times, even during the day, to which they will be driven by hunger.
Standard type of electric fumigator
The fumigator is most effective when connected directly next to the bed. The greater the distance from the device to a person’s sleeping place, the lower the effectiveness of toxic substances. There are several types of such devices:
- electrical: liquid, solid fumigant (plates, tablets);
- pyrotechnic;
- based on a chemical reaction when mixing substances, due to which steam containing a volatile compound is released (for example, Raptor aquafumigator).
In the first case, the toxic substance begins to be released when heated. When the device is connected to the network, the current changes the temperature of the heater, which leads to the release/evaporation of the insecticide. The second option operates on the principle of combustion. The wick is ignited and a volatile substance is released under the influence of high temperature.
Electronic
- If we consider the two previous types, each will highlight its advantages and disadvantages. Of course, I would like to have a device that combines all the advantages and has no disadvantages. If you have thought about this, then you should pay attention to electric models. It is this type that combines both actions of the devices and has the maximum effect. The effect is also very rapid; the pests are affected by waves one at a time, which significantly accelerates and intensifies the effect. In addition, “uninvited guests” will definitely not be able to adapt to such conditions.
- You can see the result after a few hours, just plug it in. Of course, you won’t be able to get rid of the offspring right away, but it will be enough to turn it on after a few days and the problem will be solved. Also, do not forget about preventive actions, which will protect your home.
Electromagnetic repeller
Another name is magnetic resonance device. The principle of operation is based on the device’s ability to produce electromagnetic waves. The manufacturer states that this method provides the desired effect due to the occurrence of resonance between the radiation of the device and the vibrations of the pest’s nervous system.
In fact, such a theory has no basis. Electromagnetic repellers for household use have no effect on bedbugs. If you try to use them at home, the number of insects will soon increase, since no other means have been used.
Parasites will begin to fear an electromagnetic device only if the intensity of the radiation is significant. However, in this case, people will also feel severe discomfort. It will become impossible to exist in such conditions, so such equipment is not used at home.
Electromagnetic repeller: standard appearance
Ultrasonic devices
Such devices are no more effective than the electromagnetic bedbug repellers discussed above; reviews of them are equally negative. Ultrasonic radiation helps protect an object from insects that communicate with each other in a similar way, that is, using high-frequency sound waves. Bed bugs are not such pests.
For example, mosquitoes are afraid of repellers that operate on the basis of ultrasound.
Operating principle of electromagnetic devices
Just like ultrasound, magnetic resonance pulses cause bedbugs to leave the room, but do not kill them. There are both networked and stand-alone electromagnetic repellers, and almost all of them are universal, that is, they also work against other pests.
Magnetic resonance vibrations force insects to leave dangerous territory
When using magnetic resonance devices, the following should be considered:
- powerful low-frequency radiation affects not only bedbugs and other insects, but also pets and humans;
- The electromagnetic emitter does not affect bedbug eggs, and therefore requires repeated or constant switching on for at least a month.
After turning off the repeller, parasites in most cases reappear. This happens because bedbugs cannot travel long distances and remain on the border of the device’s radiation zone, continuing to feed and reproduce if possible. In the case of an apartment building, insects migrate to neighbors.
Scented repellers
For the most part, fumigators are a means of killing insects. Devices used against house bugs are divided into several types:
- aerosol,
- burning spirals,
- smoke bombs,
- electric.
The latter, in turn, work with various active elements, including:
- records,
- pills,
- liquids,
- liquid aerosols.
According to users, aerosols are most effective against bedbugs, including the use of electric fumigators. Sprays are easy to use and do not require special equipment; they are economical and affordable.
Some types of fumigators are harmful to the health of humans and domestic animals, so before turning them on, you should carefully study the attached instructions and take safety measures!
Liquid and aerosol fumigators are most effective against bedbugs
Most aromatic repellers contain complex substances that, in a specific combination, paralyze insects. The active ingredient enters the parasite's body, and the infected bug spreads the toxin throughout the population.
When working with aerosol substances, the following precautions must be observed:
- use safety glasses;
- avoid contact of the chemical with skin;
- Before processing the room, remove food and utensils.
A smoke bomb, according to reviews, helps get rid of bedbugs, but is a rather dangerous means of combating parasites. The use of smoke bombs in houses with people is prohibited.
How to use the repeller
The instructions for use are simple and banal. Remove the device from the packaging, connect it to a power source or insert batteries. Set the required mode and leave it on until the bedbugs disappear. It is recommended to turn it off periodically to avoid damage. It is necessary to use the device for a long time. Only at the end of the month can you notice a visible result. In addition, you should pay attention to the radius of influence of the repeller. You may have to install several pieces in one room at once.
Instructions for use:
- remove from packaging;
- plug into the socket;
- set mode.
To prevent insects from becoming accustomed to constant ultrasound. Modes should be changed periodically.
What you need to know before use
When using the device you should know:
- Ultrasound only affects adults, and does not affect eggs and larvae. Therefore, the device must be turned on every 12 hours.
- If you need to get rid of bedbugs over a large area, it is more advisable to purchase several emitters at once and distribute them evenly throughout the room.
- For the best effect, it is necessary to use different means of control in combination. For example, aromatic products: a device is plugged into the outlet that emits an odor unpleasant for parasites.
For best effect, ultrasonic insect repellers are recommended to be used for two months at intervals of 2-3 weeks.
Do bedbug repellers help?
People like to discuss the effect of fashionable, convenient products against bed bugs on forums. You may find conflicting reviews. At the same time, it is difficult for an ignorant person to figure out whether it works on bedbugs or not. To understand whether a repeller is useful, you need to pay attention to some nuances:
- There is not a single device that says “from bed bugs” in black and white. The pictures show rodents, cockroaches, fleas, and mosquitoes. The purpose is the same. And the fact that ultrasonic and electromagnetic repellers work on bed bugs, including since they are also insects, was decided by the buyers themselves. Sellers simply support their desire to quickly get rid of parasites in the house in various ways. It is recommended to use the repeller in conjunction with other bedbug repellents. So should you buy it at all?
- Initially, repellers were released to combat mosquitoes and showed high efficiency. Many manufacturers played on this, expanded the range of action of the device, and added other insects and rodents.
- In the case of mosquitoes, everything is clear. They are guided by ultrasound. They give signals to their relatives of different frequencies, which are not noticed by humans. A device with ultrasonic waves interferes with their communication. They cannot transmit a reliable signal to each other, and they themselves do not orient themselves in space. They try to leave the room as quickly as possible. When it comes to bed bugs, their way of life is significantly different. Bedbugs are guided by their sense of smell and do not notice any sounds, even ultra-sounds. Therefore, an ultrasonic bedbug repeller is an absolutely useless thing.
- Moreover, no one will buy an expensive device to combat bedbugs. Namely, he has the ability to send waves through the wall. Such ultrasound can overcome an obstacle. Cheap repellers only work in the room itself. They cannot reach the bedbugs that are in the outlet, under the mattress. In watches and so on. And they can settle in a variety of places.
- The action must be continuous. But no device can withstand constant switching on for several months. Periodically turning off the repeller allows bedbugs to continue their normal activities.
- Each repeller has only 2-3 ultrasonic modes. And manufacturers claim that they act on both rodents and insects. Moreover, each living creature requires its own ultrasound range. Then another question arises: where is the guarantee that they do not negatively affect the nervous system of domestic animals and humans?
Bed bugs are the most invulnerable creatures. Some victims have the impression that they are immortal. Ultrasonic repellers promoted by advertising give hope for speedy relief to all those who do not want to do anything special or have been pointlessly struggling with them for several months. Reviews of effectiveness are either false or addressed to mosquitoes, cockroaches, and fleas. Moreover, manufacturers indicate that insects are gradually “going crazy.” While a person waits a month for the result, the colony of bedbugs will increase significantly. The repeller definitely has no effect on embryos in eggs. Wasted time, severe contamination, wasted money. All these are consequences of fighting bed bugs using a repeller.
