Has anyone used an ultrasonic pest repeller in their house?

Do they work? Are they safe for my cat & dog? What about spray repellent? Or peppermint repellent? My husband wants to get rid of them humanely, but I'm not sure that's possible.

1. Found this...

"In summary, ultrasonic pest repellers emit high-frequency sounds that manufacturers claim reduce household pest infestation, but laboratory tests have shown that the majority of such devices do not work as advertised, in violation of FTC guidelines."

10. Thanks for that.

Rats. It doesn't sound good for the ultra-sonic devices.

2. I've tried several of these devices for mice

in my chicken coop. I don’t think they work. The only thing I’ve found to be effective is a good old fashioned snap trap.

3. I was desperate to drive out pack rats. Ultrasonic repeller did not work.

Peppermint, other chemicals, sticky paper, spring traps. Finally, I had to rip out the wall and remove the nest. Still did not drive them out. I was reduced to poisoning them.

I don't know if ultrasonic device is safe for your animals.

9. Eyesight is amazing as far as color perception.

I guess that would be whiteblind and color acute.

7. Cedar spray works better than peppermint I have found.

It makes your place smell really nice also.

Cedar spray both repells insects and kills them. Particularly fleas but does well with other pests.

I should mention however that using cedar directly on pets is not good.
