Has anyone used that electric Riddex thing advertised on TV?

Question

I saw it advertised and I'm curious if it works to keep bugs/rodents out of your home?

Answer 1

I've had one for a few years!  I haven't had an issue with any pests, unless you count the little cobwebs from spiders that manage to hang from the ceiling.

I live in a rather rural area, and there have been field mice over the winters who came there to stay warm.  They haven't been around at all since I plugged in the deterrant.  I'd buy it again.

The nice thing is that I only needed one unit, since my home is a single level!

Answer 2

Am forever cautious about purchasing anything I see on TV.  Actually, a really good bug spray...on the exterior and interior of your home does work.  One bit of advice, always check boxes of 'stuff' which you bring in from the store...creepy crawlies do tend to lurk in those!

As for rodents...I'll gladly ship off one of the nearly tamed feral kittens I have!  Nary a wee mouse have we seen since I adopted the gang.

Answer 3

I haven't, but wondered the same as you - if it does indeed work.

Answer 4

No...

But suddenly "I" don't want to be in my home anymore...

It's getting rid of ME!

(I want my money back...)

Answer 5

I didnt have any luck with mine

Answer 6

Save you money.  I will be glad to sell you the latest in bugger zappers, or hair restorers or you know what growers!  Caulking on the outside, traps and spray on the inside. And a gap between vegetation and the wall on the outside.  Isn't this by the same guy who invented the Emperor's new clothes?
