Pest control products that are electronic devices can be used in a variety of pest management plan.  Devices range in size and types to suit different needs.  Pests controlled by electronic pest devices range from tiny flies to animals as large as deer.  An electronic device can utilize sonic, ultrasonic, and ultraviolet or UV rays, or other means to discourage, scare or repel pests. 

Whether or not this device actually has an effect on insects, spiders, rodents depends on who you speak to.  Many people have reported seeing fewer rats, mice and squirrels in areas where this device is used.

If you have raccoons, stray cats or other animals that have become destructive or annoying pests, using a combination of sonic and ultrasonic sounds on animals in a way that makes it very difficult for them to become comfortable with the sounds.  Some repellers use digital irritation sounds that work on all animals.  These types of repellers are great for use in large gardens where deer and other animals are damaging. Some devices uses both motion and heat sensors to detect animals in its path.  Sensors can be adjusted for size of animal, if so desired.

Bird control problems are best handled using sonic electronic repellers designed for birds. These devices are use to peacefully yet effectively repel birds.  For added impact, combine these electronic pest repellers with a visual scare device. 

Some bird repelling devices use individual speakers that can be aligned to target problem areas.  The control panel allows you to control volume, scare sounds and variable sound times.    Here are a few guidelines to follow when using such devices:

• Allowing the unit to produce loud sounds on a continuous basis makes it too easy for birds to become adapted to the sounds.
• These units’ gives you a choice of different bird sounds, choose a couple bird sounds.  Too many can alter the affect of the unit.
• Always use predator sounds.  This will greatly enhance your bird sounds.

These units should be set up so as not to be damaged by rain or other moisture.  It should also be placed in an area to repel birds and animals but not where humans or pets will be affected by its ultrasound.  High points of ultrasonic pest repellers:

• Ultrasonic waves do not bend corners, and do not penetrate walls.
• If placed in attic or other high places, the ultrasonic effects will not be felt by people or pets underneath the unit.

Ultraviolet rays or UV rays are used in electronic pest control for flying insects.  Professional traps are designed primarily for control and elimination of fruit flies, drain flies, and other annoyance fly infestations (indoor).

Electronic pest control is not a new idea.  Many products have come and gone over the last few decades.  Technology has now advanced to the point where we can get satisfactory results when the correct device is used properly in the correct areas.  Bird repellers, animal repellers, fly trapping systems and rodent control devices have improved so that professionals feel comfortable using or recommending certain electronic pest control devices.
