oldsailor35 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 Anybody know where i can get one of those electronic gadgets that send out radio waves to deter rodents. Some guy said that he got one from Home Pro somewhere on the mainland for Bht1200. But Home Pro here have no idea what i am talking about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angiud Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I had one once, never worked. But that doesn't means some kind could be effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cooked Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I sold these occasionally to customers but was never convinced that they worked, or at least they only worked for a limited time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently this guys was made in India and worked very well as neighbours were thanking him. But think he is in Isaan somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbk Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I would be interested in an effective deterrent too, unfortunately one of our dogs has a very strong hunting instinct and I don't know how well a cat would fare. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbk Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Well diddums it is a Samui specific question so fair enough hes asking you where you found it.

Some interesting comments on the wikipedia page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electronic_pest_control Post #2 asked re its effectiveness. He did not state where it was not effective....if he said it was only not effective in samui, then fair enough. 2 people appreciated the answer....even some PM's asking about them....so why you feel the need to butt in ? I did mention 'elsewhere'. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tropicalevo Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 If the electronic deterrent does not work, I can recommend getting a tokay or two. I have 6 - 7 tokays in my roof - the rats do not stay for long. (Nor do the snakes.) (The photo is not one of my tokays) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancealot Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 To the OP : Did you ask them in Thai? I bought 2 from homepro...but elsewhere...circa 700b each.Work very well, no return of rats since turning it on. @Diddums, So this means they are on sale but perhaps only on the mainland? I am sure they can order them if it was discussed in proper Thai language @Homepro.. Good luck on that oldsailor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancealot Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Get a cat! or two ! I never found these things worked either .... I think the device works on high pitch radio waves inaudible to the human ear.. I worry this could be damaging to the human body.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxheadroom007 Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I have used many methods over many years to try and deter rodents and also tried these gadgets with little success. The best way forward is to block access holes into your property, remove all food sources and store in plastic boxes with lids and lay trays of rodent bait in hidden away locations and, if they do come, let the poison do the work for you! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post oldsailor35 Posted February 27, 2013 Author Popular Post Share Posted February 27, 2013 Back home in Queensland, i always kept a couple of Carpet snakes (pythons) in the roof cavity, never had problems with mice, rats or possums. Trouble was that they were breeding so that when i had a new roof put on, i had to go up and remove 18 of the buggers, some up to 8 ft long. lolololol 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless....we have had a positive outcome from them, we have 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
