Tools and Hardware Reviews of 5 in 1 Pest Repeller
Customer Review: Utterly useless
Summary: 1 Stars
If ever there was an advertisement for snake-oil, this would be it. We purchased this exact product and found the following:
* It didn't work at all. Saw a cockroach within the first 48hrs of switching it on. Had no effect on the rodent that was scratching away under our house either.
* The noise it makes is audible to humans and quite annoying - similar to that of a TV with a faulty tube. Our cat noticed it immediately and apparently did not like it.
Our rodent problem grew worse until one day it finally made its way into our house - right beside the Pest Repeller. Evidently it was not phased at all by the noise, the "high tech digital pulses", or indeed the fancy blue night light. Our cat, however, made short work of the rodent. I wish I'd spent the money on treats for him instead of this useless device.
In short, don't bother with this or any of the other products on the market. Consumer tests have since shown that high-pitched noises don't seem to affect rats, mice, or insects, so this is technically a falsely advertised product. Save your money. Get a cat. Buy a blue night light for less than a tenth of this.
If Amazon would have let me, I would have given it 0 stars.
Customer Review: Works for us!
Summary: 5 Stars
Had serious mouse problem in kitchen & basement for months. Couldn't get rid of them. Reluctantly bought this product but hopeful it would really work.
Placed in hallway in the basement. Directions state it may not be effective through walls so opened all doors in basement. Haven't heard or seen a mouse since. No spiders either. Myself, husband, son's, can't hear anything, and dogs are unaffected. However, my son's girlfriend can hear it and drives her crazy when she goes downstairs. That's the only drawback. I just unplug it when she is here.

Summary: 2 Stars
So far not good. Two live-traps baited with chocolate and peanut butter and kitty food have not been successful in catching our mice so I broke down and bought this product. Plugged it in the kitchen and found it emits unpleasant AUDIBLE (yes, heard by humans) high pitched noise which gave two people in our apartment a headache. So, I installed it in my room as it didn't bother me as much and a second similar product in the kitchen pantry that is just EMF-based repeller (and w/ no sound non-headache producing). Several weeks have passed but we still have mouse sightings and found mouse droppings all over the floor in one room. Product promised results in 2-3 weeks.
The air-ionizing and nightlight f(n)s seem to work just fine, but I bought this to chase away rodents.
Disappointed, housemate has lost patience with non-violent approach is calling for kill-traps. :(

I bought this and found that it is audible and unbearable to my young adult children. My daughter contacted the company, who explained that usually if it is audible, then it is a defective unit, so we wrapped it, bought postage and sent it back. The replacement unit is no better. I cannot say whether it works, since I cannot use it in this house without repelling the humans who live here.
