Pestbye® Advanced Whole House Mouse Repellent - Ultrasonic Electromagnetic Mice and Rat Repeller

Our garage was home to a family of mice judging from the droppings so we needed something to encourage them to leave. I have wild bird seed in the area and this was a regular target for the little so and so's. When the gadget arrived I read through the instructions that explained the various controls (including a night light - presumably not for the mice to use!) and advising that if the mice had young ones they would not move until they had matured. This is an update three years after purchase. We haven't had any instances of mice nesting in our garage just an odd occasion where there was evidence of them gnawing some holes in a paper sack which had a few remnants of wild bird seed. As long as you make sure any food source (i.e. Bird seed) is in a suitable container this device seems to work well, I occasionally check the audible test button to make sure it's working. I sited the device in a socket above my garage work top having cleared the vicinity of droppings and opposite where bird seed is kept. Result (and why I rated 5 stars) - the next morning there were no droppings and there has been no sign of mouse activity since, it has now been 6 days since the PestBye was in situ and so far it has kept the area - as far as I can see, free from infestation. The device itself appears well made, I particularly like the test button otherwise how would you know if it was not working? And LED's give a reasuring blink to let you know it's 'on guard'. I don't know why some people find it doesn't work maybe it's down to the siting or perhaps some mice are more susceptable than others but whatever it has to be better than killing them. A month on and a close encounter with Roger the rodent later and all is well....... Except! I hadn't realised Roger and family had taken up residence in a box of grass seed, so after making this discovery and removing box, family (minus Roger) to a carefully chosen location in the garden (not my garden, Hee, hee)I waited to see what would happen. After a couple of sightings of a lonely looking Roger he has left and there are no signs of him anywhere so I think the Pest-Bye is working as it seems to make the area uncomfortable for the mice to remain in - as long as a. all traces of food are secured and b. the family are grown and ready to leave their nest. PS Roger and family have now been re-housed by a kind neighbour :)

Originally bought this same product many years ago. Id say over ten years? Just starting to see the odd mouse ,not helped by the neighbours who dont seem bothered and never have . Silent operation , dead easy to use instructions clear and easy to understand . I personally think the pulse thru the ringmain is the thing they really dont like. Consider its lasted so long its good value for money having used cheaper that dont work or dont last. Three bedhouse reasonable size ,cavity wall.

This pest repeller is advertised on the basis that it will protect a 4 bed house. We have a problem with mice or, most likely, rats scurrying within the wall cavities and loft areas within the house, i.e. behind solid walls and ceilings. Being a terraced house with interconnecting cavities and lofts, the rodents have spread to adjacent properties. The instructions acknowledge that the ultrasound function, the only feature of this device which has any, albeit limited, credibility, will only be effective if it is located in the same room as the pest, it wont travel through solid objects. Rodents will remain comfortable behind their ultrasound proofed, inaccessible to humans, living quarters. So no full house cover here then. The electro-magnetic interference feature is scientifically regarded as being highly unlikely to be effective, and remains unproven in any properly conducted field tests. The instructions note that the manufacturers believe that the elector magnetic waves in the house wiring (providing they are within 3 feet of the wires) creates an environment which prevents rodents nesting and drives them out of the house. I have no intention of leaving my uninvited visitors to enjoy the peace and quiet of my home, setting up their own love nests within its walls and free to breed outside the 3 foot electro-magnetic exclusion zone. I will try and find out how they've got into the house, order a pack of rat traps and poison to exterminate them and make sure there are no unprotected areas of the house where they could get in again. Currently, inspection has revealed that the most likely way they got in was through a worn and damaged redundant sewage pipe beneath the house, unused since our kitchen was extended more than 25 years ago. I have returned the pest repeller, which was not a good idea, and put the refund towards paying for the pipe to be repaired.

Just installed yesterday so not given time to work. Hopefully it will take effect soon. Seems to be working ok. Nice little and compact unit. Not happy with delivery man though. He placed package in front of my door which opens outwards and I could not open it as it was jammed underneath. I had to ring a neighbour to come and release me. If only he had waited instead of ringing doorbell and walking away.!! Not happy.

Product unfortunately hasn't done anything for my mouse problem. I live in a very old block of tenement flats so sorting out the inevitable mouse infestation is near impossible with the endless entry points and dozens of students flats attached to my own. I really wanted this product to work.. from other stories of pest control in this type of flat using traps etc. is just constant killing of mice. I thought this would at least keep mice out of my bedroom but JUST SEEN ONE REALLY FAST ONE OR TWO running about whilst sat making a fair amount of noise. I really hate living with mice especially when they don't even pay the extortionate rent for this s*** hole that I do!! I welcome any advice. One thing I can say is that I have it plugged in next to my bed since there were considerable amounts of mouse holes behind my bed and I have seen no evidence of mice anymore there. I think I will be renting a cat!!!!!

Seems to be working well after 2 weeks on continuous use

Best thing ever!!! Saw two mice last Tuesday night next day I ordered this got it same day delivery (love Amazon Prime!) plugged it in. I saw one mouse that night looking a bit confused kept running back and forth and it’s now Monday and I’ve not seen or heard one since no mice poo anywhere. It’s good cos you only need one to cover the whole house up to a 4 bed hose so it covers a massive area. You can’t hear it. Easy to use and it’s so effective. Good price too. What more can you ask for?

I purchased the product and have had it plugged in my kitchen for four weeks now (another site selling the same product says it could take up to 60 days to see final results). Whilst I have noticed sparce mice activity since plugging it in, they still pass through from time to time. Again, maybe I'm not being patient and I need to wait a little longer. I will not trash the product and say its entirely useless because I do believe that to SOME EXTENT, the unit does in fact effect the mice. However, I would not entirely depend on it as a final solution. They might be good for a preventative measure but if you already have established mice living in your home, you might need to indulge in other forms of extermination. If they've been living in your home for some time, they are not going to leave so easily. I've had them in my home for about two months now so this might be the reason why it's taking time. After a while though, they DO get use to repeating sounds, and then you are back to square one. For as long as they have available entry into your home, you will always have the possibility of mice roaming about in your house no matter how irritated they are by the unit. Before plugging it in, I have not seen them much due to making the house less homely for them. I will keep food thoroughly locked away. I don't leave dirty dishes lying around at night. Before going to bed, I will give all the rooms a good vacuum so that no crumbs are left in sight (mice can in deed live on crumbs and small bits of scraps, don't underestimate them!). I will stake out all of their possible hiding places (behind beds, sofas, stoves, fridges, etc), and I have cleared up all books and old newspapers, which they often use for nesting. The only way you will get rid of them is to find all the holes (I found at least five) and had them professionally covered (I'm with a Housing Assocation so mine was done for free). If they're still in the house, lay down the glue traps in the very place where you've seen the most activity. I can assure you that once you do this, your mice problems will be over. But don't solely rely on the unit. Use it as a back-up measure and nothing more. I have not seen or heard a mice in over a week but once again, I have not had the unit plugged in long enough and I took it upon myself to take the necessary action needed to deal with it. I have a five-year-old and was not willing to wait over a month for the unit to work especially since they were leaving their droppings everywhere. After another two or three weeks, I'll update the review.
