Are you tired of using sprays to control pests at home or outdoors? With the advancement of science and technology, many small tools that are easier to use to kill or repel insects have appeared. Some of them are portable, or you can just plug them in to do the work for you.
Nevertheless, it is still difficult to find the perfect pest control equipment for your home or even outdoors. Therefore, it is best to understand the different options available and choose the one that suits your needs.
One way to eliminate pests is to lure them into traps, such as electronic insect killers. This gadget works by attracting pests to ultraviolet light. Different theories explain why insects are attracted to light, such as navigation equipment and food search (nectar), because flowers reflect ultraviolet light.
When they come into contact with this gadget, they will be electrocuted to the high-voltage power grid. The device is an effective insect killer because pests are more sensitive to electric shocks and direct contact can cause sudden death.
Ultrasonic insect repellents are different from traditional gadgets that use light and electricity to kill insects. The device features high-frequency signals from ultrasonic waves and vibrations, making pests feel uncomfortable. The insect’s nervous system will become the target of these high frequencies until the pest cannot tolerate the pain and eventually disappear or die. Try to find out if the ultrasonic insect repellent is really effective. You can also read some research and reviews to help you understand how these gadgets work.
Mosquito killers are usually designed for outdoor activities, such as camping. They are lightweight, portable, and require very little power, so you can take them anywhere. The device uses ultraviolet lamps to attract pests. Then, the fan in the lamp traps them, prevents them from escaping, and eventually kills them with high-voltage electricity or even dehydration.
If you have trouble falling asleep due to pest bites at night, you can use an electronic insect trap. It is a plug-in device placed in the room to kill insects that wander there and interfere with your sleep. Gadgets have ultraviolet rays to attract pests, and when they fall into the trap, they will be electrocuted by the high-voltage power grid.
Because bugs are escaping from their predators, they tend to go where there is light. If you want to keep light in your home, but don't want to deal with mosquitoes, moths and other insects, you can use a yellow insect lamp. Light has many wavelengths: what the human eye can see is different from what an insect can see. In fact, insects cannot see the yellow bug lights, so they will not stay in your space.
Schools, hospitals, hotels, and greenhouses usually use fog coolers to disinfect their spaces. This device is an automatic dispenser of water-based and oil-based products containing pesticides, which can be used inside and outside your house. It controls large areas of insects by producing an invisible atomization solution. It can also remove mold and other unpleasant odors.
Since almost everyone now owns a smartphone, developers connect the use of mobile apps to their pest traps to provide users with real-time updates on the device. A smartphone-operated pest trap is an excellent innovation because you will know where to find pests and deal with them immediately to avoid them from carrying foul smells and diseases.
You cannot see all the pests in the house, especially those that hide in pipes and wires. This is worrying because you don't know which connections they pollute. Drinking water infected by pests can cause diseases such as cholera, hepatitis, leptospirosis and typhoid fever.
The pipeline pest scanner is connected to your phone, so you can check whether there are suspicious pests in the pipeline. Once you find them, you can take steps to remove the insects to avoid damage, such as unwanted holes and unclean water.
It is difficult to locate pests in large facilities. Therefore, a wireless, Internet-based infrared sensor technology was developed to help locate pests. It works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, to provide real-time information about pests in order to control solutions faster.
One of the most common pests in houses is rats. Rats can get rid of traditional sticky pad traps, so an automatic dome-shaped trap has been developed to lure rats and ensure that they will not escape. Then, once inside, the mouse will be electrocuted. The device will be connected to your mobile phone to notify you when pests are found, informing you that you need to deal with dead mice.
Modern technology has indeed paved the way for easier control of pests. However, it is still up to you to choose the most suitable product for your home. It is best to research the product brand and reviews before buying to make sure it is the solution you need.
