Nothing can ruin a nice day outside quicker than unwelcome mosquitoes. Keep them at bay with this USB powered, ultrasonic insect repeller from Uxsight. It generates a low buzz, inaudible to the human ear while the mosquitoes do not like it and stay away. It is completely safe for adults and kids, as well as for your pets. It has an effective range of 1.5 square meters. You can get one for $5.69.

This thing doesn’t work. Save yourself $5.69 and get a bottle of DEET from the pharmacy.

I don’t know,we put in 3 of those ultrasonic rodent repellent plugs last fall, we had *something* skittering around in the ducts late at night. Haven’t heard a peep ever since. I’d give this a try, if only for the occasional pest that sneaks in while couch surfing at night.

Won’t work – keep the money. After 30 yrs in pest control I still wait to see one of these devices that even remotely does what it promises.
