I posted an article a few days ago about ultra-sonic pest eliminators. Since then, a LOT of people have been contacting me for further information - so I thought I'd just post it directly back to the net. The following is the text from an advertisement - it is NOT from the unit that I bought, so I can't make any judgements about it. Like I said before tho, I suspect that all these devices are very similar, I would imagine that ones as good as the next. ===== GETS RID OF ROACHES-MICE-FLEAS-& OTHER ANNOYING PESTS! It really works!
