Keep unit away from pet tarantulas, mice, hamsters, gerbils and rabbits. User Friendly Controls: Adjust settings on unit's back to repel specific pests. Ultrasonic (quiet) settings control most indoor pests. Sonic (audible) sounds control mostly larger animal pests. About Ultrasound: Nearly silent to humans and most animals, annoying to bugs and mice. Ultrasonic pest repeller sounds disrupt pests' nervous systems, affecting feeding and communication, forcing them to leave the area. Ultrasound is less intense over distance and absorbed by soft objects. Ultrasound cannot reach nesting and feeding places behind walls, under floors, or within cracks. Multiple units may be necessary for larger rooms. About Sonic Sound: Sonic sound waves are low frequency, audible sounds with greater range than ultrasonic waves. Lower frequency sounds are more effective repelling rats and larger pests and protecting larger areas. Caution: Prolonged exposure to loud and medium settings is not recommended for confined pets and irritates humans. How to Use: Indoor use. Optimally will cover an extra large room. Place on flat surface. Operate pest repeller 24/7 for best results. Occasionally move to a different location. For best results, place additional units in adjacent rooms on each level of the dwelling. Expect results within 2 weeks. Continue use once pests leave. Diagram on unit's back shows which sound pattern and volume switch positions to choose for specific pests. IMPORTANT: Black and Deck

Noisy:
I got the unit a few days ago and set it up in my garage. In the past, it appears that the field mice have been entering my house in the winter through the garage, so it made sense to install it there.

Hopefully the mouse (mice) will leave because... more info
Works great in Atlanta!:
I have read few negative reviews here and they don't look very convincing. We had problem in our attic with flying squirrels and I actually saw them few times so I know what it was for sure. They drove my wife and me crazy running inside of the roof and chewing through walls. It was one of the most stressful experiences in our house. Nothing worked and one time I locked one critter in the roof by patching a hole so we had an awful smell for a month until it dried out. I tried traps, sprayed etc.

It won't work for mosquitoes!:
Bought this thinking it would keep mosquitoes away from my room, but it didn't work. And the noise is very annoying, even when it is on quiet. Don't buy it!
IT REALLY WORKS ON RODENTS.:
I have used this electronic pest repeller in my hunting camp (in the middle of the woods) and in my barn. The devices are on timers and set on full power for rodents. I use multiple devices in the barn due to it's size and one in each room at the hunting camp. I disconnect them when I'm there. Prior to using these electronic repellers I consistantly had problems with rodents (mice and rats)getting in the buildings, especially during the winter. I no longer have ANY problems with mice or rats. I had... more info
