Hi Marc,

Someone on another listserv recently posted this great personal review
of the Pest A Cator product. I have no personal info to share about
this product (I have a good mouser cat…) so I am just the messenger.
If you would like the contact info for this person, I can ask her
permission to make that connection. Another person on the same
listserv also said it worked great.

Best,
Deb


She says:
I am writing to follow up on the "pest-a-cator" device, which I
plugged into my apartment over a year ago, when I became catless and
was overrun by mice. There were A LOT of mice! I don't even mean one a
day or two a day. I mean a constant stream of mice in every room
chewing everything and pooping everywhere. It was really overwhelming.

Anyway, someone told me she had tried many different approaches, and
the mice either outwitted and evaded the traps she set, or seemed
completely immune to whatever other methods she employed. But this
"Pest-a-cator" product worked.

What it is, is a device you plug into a wall outlet. It does NOT use
ultrasonic technology, which would have driven me out of my mind. It
causes a pulse or vibration in the wiring, or something like that,
which I personally do not hear, feel, or otherwise sense, at all.

Result: there have been NO mice whatsoever in my apartment since
plugging in the pest-a-cator. Not even in the winter. Not even any
that I could hear inside the walls. I see no mouse poop anywhere, hear
no scratching, see absolutely no evidence of them being anywhere, even
in the walls. Even when I had a cat who hunted, the mice would live
inside the walls! But not with the pest-a-cator.

You have to buy the correct size unit for your square footage, and you
need to buy one for every floor of your house (my apartment has an
upstairs and a downstairs, so I have two).

It does have a blinking red light that is meant to indicate to you
whether the unit is working. I find the blinking light bothersome if I
look at it, but you can easily cover it up if you want to. If you
don't mind it, it does show you whether the unit has malfunctioned. I
had one that got spiked during a storm, but it was replaced for free
by the manufacturer, so the blinking light stopping blinking was
useful to me. It's not so bright that it fills the room or anything,
but if you are very sensitive to blinking, you could cover it with a
piece of electrical tape. It's about the same brightness as the
indicator light on my apartment's carbon monoxide detector.

The person who recommended it to me says she tried other brands of
things that plugged into the wall, and none of them worked.

Anyway, I just wanted to let folks know this really worked for me. I
think of it as filling my walls with music. It's non-toxic and
non-violent, and since one unit apparently lasts for a long time
(years), it's not really all that expensive, either. It does use some
electricity, but not much.

The product manual says it repels all rodents, not just mice, so you
should not use it if you have pets in the rodent family (like
gerbils). They say some people claim that it also repels spiders, but
the company admits the spider effect is not proven. In my experience,
spiders do not seem to mind it. But I don't mind spiders, either, so
that's fine with me.

They offer a money back guarantee, so if you still have mice after
proper use, they will refund the purchase price. (They warn that you
may get an initial increase in mouse sightings at first, as they leave
the walls, but that new mice will not move in. In my case, the
previously residentmice apparently exited to the exterior, not the
interior of the house, and I saw absolutely ZERO mice starting the
moment I plugged the units in.)

My Tri-field Meter does register increased EMF in the immediate area
around where the unit is plugged in, but it drops off to nothing
within about 2 feet of the outlet.

and what size unit is right for your living space, is:
