My Pestrol unit is great for getting rid of mice
I have had a Pestrol unit in the house for several years, and give it 5 stars for all of those years. We had a big problem with mice, and your product solved it for us. No more mice! The first position we put it in didn't work, so we shifted it to a different location. That worked a treat. However recently, rats in the ceiling have become a problem, and while this unit is still effective for preventing mice, it isn't so much, for the rat problem. What do you suggest?
Purchased in for $99.
Terrible customer service
I called to enquire about this product as I was unsure which power outlet I should plug the product into to achieve the best result. The person who answered my call raised her voice over me when answering my first question. I feel very hard to speak with this person and I did not get a clear explanation of my question. I feel not confident try out this product.

Does not work. Won't refund
This product does not work. Furthermore, Pestrol will not process my returns request within the 30 day money back guarantee period. Seems they are doing everything they can to ignore my refund request.

They really work .. Rodents mysteriously stopped scratching in the ceiling after 48 hrs of plugging in 2 units
The pestrol plug in rodent deterrent really works.. Magic happens when you plug in.. The constant noisy, unsettling scratching and shuffling of the rodents in our ceiling all night literally disappeared with 48 hours of plugging in 2 either end of our 3 bedroom home..Don’t even bother with cheap copies, they are useless…make sure you have them
Installed properly, my neighbour also bought 2, complained she still had rodents, on checking she had them plugged into power extension boards and only switched to the first setting.. All good now, they have gone…

May work short term but not over long term !
We bought this Pestrol device for use in our basement which has mice problems on and off. It was bought for NZD $119 at a Mitre10 store. During initial installation, the device appeared to work (may be 6 months), However, the mice activities fired up again after that. The mice are even eating baits within a metre of this device. It obviously did not work or stop working. Considering the price of the device, it is very poor value and not fit for purpose !

Thank you for the information.

A waste of money.
I have 3 units in my single level home in Brisbane qld for the past 4 years. Every night I can hear the activities of rats in my roof & walls. Pestrol Rodent Free is far from being fit for purpose!

No mice, rats or cockroaches. Very happy
We moved into our home 2 years ago. It was a display home, so everything had been set up for 3 years, including the garden, but no one had lived in the house.
I must say that we never saw mice or rats, but, there were cockroaches. They had been breeding in the piles of built up mulch in the garden and liked to come inside. A lot.
So I called up Pestrol after hearing their ad on the radio so often.
The salesman was great on the phone and worked out that 2 plug in units would be enough for our house (even though it's a 4 bed home), I was please...

It works. The best part is that my wife stopped complaining about the rats in the roof! Just hope this will last for more than a few months. Wait and see…

Hey Leo,
Great to hear that the units have done the job for you! The units will be keeping that roof clear for a good many years to come!...

Its been an interesting year to say the least, mates told us to try these pestrol thingies and we have given them a go. With our beautiful dogs we were not going to use poisons again this year. So here we are after 3 months, no sign of those little furry buggers. Thanks Pestrol

Hey DC!

Read more Because it does utilize a sound-based technology, solid obstructions like furniture can interfere with the sound output on the device, making it less likely to be heard as opposed to when it's out in the open. Should get rid of those pesky rodents, but if it doesn't that's why we offer our 100-day money-back guarantee for that item! Cheers,The reviewer stated that an incentive was offered for this review
Great product and great company to deal with
Living in a rural area we were always battling with keeping the rats and mice out, using Baits worked but left dead rodents in the roof or walls which caused very unpleasant odours. I was reluctant to try these but I am glad we did as we have seen a massive drop off in the number of mice. We have a larger house so I bought an extra unit to make sure we got the coverage. I even put one in my shed and that has seen the same result.
In addition to the product working well we had one unit stop working, we contacted Pestrol and it was just replaced straight away with no fuss.

Who Needs the Pied Piper?
Although I had not seen one or any evidence of them and my cats had not caught anything, the way they keep looking around the laundry and peering under the fridge convinced me that there were mice in my house. Mice traps failed to catch anything so against my better judgement and in desperation I purchased a Pestrol Rodent Free Device.
Now I must say I had hope but was totally sceptical that it would work. Although the lights flash it works on 3 technologies you cannot see, hear, or feel (Electromagnetic, Ultrasonic, and Ionic). Feeling I had...
Read more probably been ripped off I decided to give this gadget the benefit of the doubt and waited. To my astonishment right on the 4 weeks as they predicted it all happened – much to the delight of my two cats, the mice they had been hunting for the past 2 years were suddenly visible. In one week, they have caught and disposed of 4 mice from my laundry and kitchen. Forget the Pied Piper – just buy one of these and all you need is a little patience and you will be rewarded.Purchased in for $99.

Mice plague bonanza
Prior to getting this we would be catching 10 - 15 mice every night. We have a 3 bedroom country home, so we got 2 devices and after only about 2 weeks none of the traps have been catching any mice. We don't see them anymore in the house. Very happy and definitely recommend.

Is it normal that the green light does not flash Just the red and orange ones on our four units ?
Hey Margaret,
That is correct, the green light will stay solid, the red and yellow lights will flash
Hi Margaret, yes this is correct. The green light stays steady, red and yellow flash continuously. We're still very happy with our units, more than 2 years later. Not one cockroach in the house, and this was the main reason for buying them.
