Is a Rodent-Free Enviroment Possible?



Is a Rodent-Free Environment Possible?

Rats and mice pose serious health risks, but traps and poisons come with a heavy price. Poisons can endanger children and pets while inhumane traps require the handling of potentially disease-bearing rodents. Neither poisons nor traps provide long-term protection since more rodents will likely replace the ones you've killed. It can be an unending cycle.

The PestChaser® Electronic Rodent Repeller puts the emphasis on non-toxic prevention, instead of after-the-fact toxic intervention. The PestChaser emits high frequency sound waves between 32 and 62 kHz to create an acoustically hostile environment that repels rodents from sound-protected areas, over the long term. It's kinder than traps, safer than poisons, and inaudible to people and non-rodent pets.

There are PestChaser models specifically designed to be used with 110 VAC and 220/240 VAC, and ranging in price from $19.95 to $59.95 each. Please keep in mind that whatever model you choose, the physical properties of ultrasonic sound prevent ultrasonic sound waves from penetrating solid objects like walls and floors. (For more details on this and other frequently asked questions about the PestChaser, please see PestChaser FAQs). Therefore, we strongly recommend the placement of a PestChaser in each room where problems are evident.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, rats bite more than 45,000 people each year.

Rats contaminate and destroy enough food worldwide each year to feed 200 million people, according to estimates of the World Health Organization. In the U.S. rats cause between $500 million and $1 billion a year in property and health losses.

Rodent-associated diseases in the U.S. include plague, murine typhus, salmonellosis, rat bite fever, leptospirosis, trichinosis, toxoplasmosis, and hantavirus.

The rat population in the U.S. is estimated to be at least one rat for every person.

Rats can jump three feet straight up, and four feet outwards, from a standing position. They can burrow three feet straight down into the ground; chew through building materials, glass, and cinderblock; swim 1/2 mile in open water and against current in sewer lines; and climb up inside the pipes with diameters between 1 1/2 and 4 inches. A rat's teeth are so strong it can bite through aluminum, lead, and other metals.

A female house mouse gives birth to 6 young about 19 days after mating. She is ready to mate again in two days. She can produce 6 to 10 litters a year. Each of her young is ready to mate in two months. Remarkably, all her children, grandchildren, great-grandchildren, and great, great-grandchildren can have offspring in the same year. Two mice starting to breed on New Year's day could theoretically have as many as 31,000 descendents by December 31.

Though bats are hated and feared, they may also be the single best controller of the insect kingdom. Bats may eat as many as 600 mosquito-size insects in an hour. An average bat colony may eat 1/2 million insects in one evening.

Some 20% of fires of unknown origin are thought to be caused by rodents gnawing through electrical wiring. It takes only 3 weeks for a young rat or mouse to start creating as much damage as their parents. Rodents can enter a building through a half-inch hole. It's important to seal openings and cracks around pipes and wires and to fix damaged screens and doors.
