Has anybody used those electronic pest controls that plug into your wall and if so, do they really work?

It is advertised to get rid of roaches, rats, and mice.

    i have been using one for the past year. a few days before i plugged it in i was seeing 4-5 cockroaches a week (i live in an area where cockroaches are everywhere even if you have the cleanest house! )

    after i plugged it in, it went down to 1-2 a week.

    after about 2 weeks, i stopped seeing them all together.

    i can let you know once the weather starts warming up again if they start to show up, but i honestly haven't seen one in sooo long.

    so in my opinion, yes, they work.

    email if you have any more questions!

    :-)

    I have used one for years and have not seen any roaches. This device has a high frequency sound that is adjustable and as far as I am concerned, it does the job. One other note, it does not work to get rid of ants.
