What are you trying to get rid of specifically? Or is it all of the above?

more so preventative.. i.e. mice. with the cold season coming, you can bet they are gonna be seeking out warmth and a nice home to snuggle up into.
spiders, bugs.. u can't stop them... but i'm scared these might affect my little puppy.

If it's in the garage it's fine for the puppy, some would say otherwise but I have both a dog and a cat and they're fine, sometimes I find the cat in the garage strolling around passing the units no fucks given, just point it out from the house.

BUT in your experience, are they actually working ?

Yes they work for added protection AFTER you do the required cleanup for any attractants/garbage.They were in my aw11 engine bay parked in a garage after I cleaned up and did some relip for the garage door they haven't came back. Seen the little fuckers though in the neighbors yard:awwyeah:

If it's cold enough they'll come in to escape the cold, but they'll take off after.
I had rats in my garage, and same thing, after sealing the entry points and cleaning up attractants, I put one in. It's supposed to annoy them enough to drive them to go elsewhere.
Seemed to work for last winter. I really hope I don't have to shoot another rat in the head with a BB gun again. Rat was alive in a trap but with the shoulders broken, so had to put it down.

My parents used something very similar to solve a rat problem in our shed. The rats were constantly living in and around the shed. After a week of using the device, we experienced no issues with rodents. We can it for over 10 years. No issues.

Heard pests can eventually get desensitized to it. Maybe use it half a year at a time or alternate 2 different control methods?

i have a strange addiction to watching this yt channel, i've seen his tests in the past with various ultrasonic repellants and none of them worked.

Doesn't work, been trying to get rid of rodents in my garden for years because they keep going into the engine bay. No deterrent has worked for me, aside from my gf's used kitty litter from her 2 cats. You should resort to sealing up any holes they can get in from and traps for any that do get in.
