Great Household ItemMar 24, 2007
By Karen V. UPDATE 2: These devices have had no adverse effect on any of my animals. I have a dog, 2 cats and a bird (Sun Conure Jenday mix...small parrot). No one seems the least bit bothered.
UPDATE: My home appears to be insect free at this time. I will tell you, I did purchase another unit and placed it upstairs; however, I really don't think it was necessary as my home is only 1200 sq ft. I'm such a "phobe," I felt it would be better to err on the side of caution. In any case, I really am free of insects. I haven't seen a spider, ant or cricket since installation.
I bought this item after being bit in the face by a spider while I was sleeping. It was not a pleasant experience! We stirred them up after poking around in the attic during an afternoon. I was finding the nasty buggers everywhere until I got this unit.
Since plugging the Bugfighter in, I've not seen a spider, or any insects, on any of the 3 levels of my home. I have one in the basement and one in the upstairs hallway. They've been running about 2 months now. We've even re-checked the attic, and not a spider to be found. I'm in Northern VA and we're coming into Spring now. It will be interesting to see what happens. Usually I get crickets and a bout with ants and termites as the season kicks off. If I don't post an update, you know all went well and there were no insect battles this year. If I have ants and/or termites...you'll be the 1st to know!
Specific point...no noticeable change in electric bill for 2 months of use.

Better than bugsJan 25, 2008
By Thomas Maynard
"Accidental Chef"
We live in a condominium. Our upstairs neighbor started keeping frogs and brought in (against village ordinances) live crickets. Well, soon all of the residents were finding/killing crickets in their units. Since (at that time) no-one knew where the crickets were coming from I bought one of these devices as a deterrent.
It worked well. Our cricket sightings went from 6-8/day to merely 1-2/day. Since the source of the cricket infestation was directly overhead, I believe that no device would be 100% effective but this did deliver a significant improvement.
Ultimately, the Department of Health and a number of stiff fines caused our neighbor to cease importing live crickets into our condominium ... and I have since unplugged this device. But, if you find bugs in your home that you cannot explain, this is a reasonable way to deal with them until you have an explanation.
Remember: it's not (always) your fault! (But this device will help until you find resolution.)

Works better than bug spray, and much saferOct 01, 2007
By Kimberly E. Beall
"Sleepy Maggie"
I got this for my daughter, who had an infestation of black widow spiders in her house that just wouldn't go away. She has pets and a small child so she hated using pesticides, especially since they didn't seem to be working anyway. So I had Amazon ship this to her house. It wasn't even a full week later that she called to tell me all the spiders were GONE!
She says the device does make a ticking noise, but they can't usually hear it over the TV anyway, and it doesn't seem to annoy her pets at all.

Got rid of my roachesSep 28, 2007
By Ben Word A couple months ago my apartment had cockroaches everywhere. After mentioning the problem to one of my coworkers, I was pointed to this product.
I thought it was BS until I mentioned it to a friend of mine. He said that a friend of his swore by a device similar to this and that it got rid of all their roaches within a week.
Around 1-2 weeks after I plugged it in I noticed that I hadn't seen any roaches in a while. I still have it plugged in and have only came across roaches a couple times. Before I used this I came across 3-4 roaches a day in my apartment.

No affect against spiders...Oct 15, 2007
By D. Pereira We have a spider problem since we live in a new construction area. We were insane last year at this time, killing sometimes 7 a day. I bought 2 of these to cover my 3500+ sq ft home. I placed 1 upstairs and 1 down stairs to spread out the coverage. They have been plugged in now for a couple of months and the spiders really don't seem to care. They are comming back just like last year at this time. I actually had one build its web off the corner of the unit itself. Some repelling action that is. One can only guess if the EMP pulse is doing anything at all behind the walls as it claims. Given the facts, one would have to think not. I had such high hopes for these units, but they are just more of the same that don't work as the manufacturer claims...
