Ultrasonic Pest Control
I am considering using an ultrasonic device to deter rats from my garden.
Anybody used them or have any thoughts on them.

I tried it. It doesn't work on mice, don't know about rats.

Useless. If the rodent population around here can thrive in the tube
tunnels with no end of electric fields and noise of every frequency they
are obviously going to be immune to that sort of thing. Of course you
may be dealing with timid country rats unused to such devices...

I would have thought that discouraging rats from the garden would only
encourage them into the house.

My 15 Ultrasonic one from Robert Dyas works a treat in keeping the cats
from cr*pping on my lawn. You see a cat wonder in looking for a place to
drop, triggers scarer and whoosh cat departs garden like someones put a
rocket up its *rse. Brilliant.

We didn't try it on rats. We use the Ratzapper for them. 100% successful.
Works on mice too.

Re: Ultrasonic Pest Control
I've never tried them myself, however in America, the manufacturers
have been ordered to tone down their claims in advertising.

No link. Got mine in Robert Dyas at Lakeside, but also seen them in
Eastleigh. I already had one which I got in 1997 that cost 50, now defunct
and know how good they were.
