The Riddex pest repeller produces high-frequency sound waves that are harmless to humans and pets (except rodents), but which are heard by insects and rodents and are supposed to drive them away. This may sound good in theory, but it doesn't work in practice. At best, electronic pest repellers may work for a few hours or days, but they apparently have no long-term effect on pests. Also, many people claim that they can hear a whining and/or buzzing noise made by the repellers. After numerous complaints, the company that produces Riddex agreed with the FTC to not make certain claims as to their product's effectiveness. You can read the agreement on the FTC site: http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2003/07/global.shtm
I don't recommend it-they are not effective long term
No-sorry.

Yes, Riddex electronic pest repeller repulses squirrels (Sciuridae family). But it requires a certain range of effectiveness, beyond which it has no impact and within which other controls -- such as removing food sources and sealing cracks -- need to be implemented.
None of them work long term.
No. It can only make the animal suffer. This devise gives off an electrical pulse that these small animals may be able to feel. Read the label on this product before using around the guinea pig.
They adapt to it and realize the noise is not a threat. they even tried alternating frequencies but once they realize all the frequencies are only an annoyance they are ineffective too. it just takes longer.
It doesn't. The FTC has info on these scams at http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2001/05/fyi0128.shtm. Enter "Pest Repeller" in the FTC search window for more info.
No, don't buy any of the electronic repellers. Although some provide short term benefits, none has been proven thus far to work long term. Many of the big pest cos. have already tried them & no one is using them.
A good cat repeller for a car is Mega-Sonic Cat Repeller. Some other brands are available at Amazon, Thrifty Fun, Safe Pet Products, Best Covery and many others.
No, any rodents within the repeller's range will also be affected by it, sadly.
Well, darling, that blinking red light on your Riddex electronic pest repeller means it's time to put on your detective hat because there's a problem. It could be signaling low battery, a malfunction, or maybe even an alien invasion - who knows? Time to investigate and show those pests who's boss!
Yes, sometimes
