PestXit Duo

Living in the tropics we have all sorts of creepy crawlies around our house, ranging from cockroaches to mice. I was getting fed up with trying to catch the mice in traps, they would eat the bait and run off before the trap went off. My cats are as good as useless, on the off chance they catch a mouse they will play with it and let it go again…

After browsing at the shops I found the PestXit Duo on sale.

The packet says:
“Repels pests and rodents using the latest ultrasonic technology in a small, compact unit. Ideal for homes, offices, warehouses and restaurants, it effectively covers up to approximately 140 square metres and is easy to install- simply plug into a power-point.”

It has two frequencies, one for cockroaches and one for mice. Switching it to Mouse Mode (the biggest problem) and letting it run for a month or so, the presence of mice have declined significantly. Cockroaches come and go, but the cat is a bit better at catching them.

My dogs (two German Shepherds and a Daschund) have no problem with either of the sound frequencies.

This is not an endorsed review, it is just to let you know that there are non-chemical control methods for pests in the home.
