FAQs

The Product

How does PestUltra work?

The device emits ultrasonic waves in a variable frequency range, inaudible to the human ear. The goal is to make the area unpleasant for rodents and crawling insects, so they avoid moving through and settling there.

It plugs into a wall outlet and operates continuously. There's nothing to adjust, nothing to recharge, no consumables to repurchase.

Does it eliminate pests that are already present?

No, and we prefer to state this before purchase. PestUltra is a preventive deterrent device. Faced with an already established infestation — a nest, a colony, a daily presence — the only correct response is a pest control professional.

The device is designed for the stage before: making thoroughfare rooms less inviting so that the problem doesn't take root.

Does it work on bed bugs? On mosquitoes?

No, on neither of them. Bed bugs arrive via luggage, clothes and second-hand furniture: they do not circulate in the areas that the device covers. Mosquitoes are not sensitive to ultrasound.

If either of these two problems is yours, this product is not what you need, and we prefer to tell you that than to sell you something else.

Which pests are concerned?

Rodents — mice, rats, voles, dormice — and crawling insects: cockroaches, ants, spiders, silverfish, earwigs, woodlice, millipedes, fleas.

Results vary depending on the species, the configuration of the home and the level of presence at the time of installation.

Usage

Where should I place the device?

On a clear wall socket, ideally at least 15 cm from the floor, with no furniture or curtains in front of it. Ultrasonic waves propagate in a straight line: anything that obstructs it reduces the covered area.

Start with the room that concerns you most.

Is one device enough for the whole house?

No. Ultrasonic waves do not pass through walls or furniture. Each enclosed room requires its own device.

This is why we offer packs: a partially covered house simply allows pests to move to unequipped rooms.

How long does it take to see an effect?

Allow two to four weeks of continuous use. Some customers notice a change sooner, others not at all: this depends heavily on the housing configuration, the initial level of presence, and existing entry points.

Leave the device plugged in permanently. Intermittent use makes no sense for a deterrent device.

What else can I do to maximize my chances?

This is where the most important factors lie, even more than in the device itself: seal openings and duct passages, store food in airtight containers, clear away cardboard boxes on the floor, and don't leave dirty dishes overnight.

A deterrent device works better in an environment that offers neither food nor shelter.

Does it consume a lot of electricity?

No. Consumption is similar to that of an electronic device on standby, i.e., a few euros per year for continuous operation.

Safety

Is it safe for children?

The emitted frequencies are above the human hearing threshold, and the device does not disperse any substances. Unlike rat poisons and traps, there is nothing within reach, nothing to ingest, nothing to spill.

As with any mains-powered appliance, ensure that it is not handled or dismantled.

What about pets?

Dogs and cats are generally not bothered.

However, the device is not recommended if you have a domestic rodent, rabbit or bird. These species perceive the emitted frequencies and may be disturbed by them. In this case, do not purchase this product.

Does it make noise?

Nothing audible to an adult. Some young people, whose hearing perceives higher frequencies, may occasionally distinguish a slight whistling sound depending on the models and position in the room.
