FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT TRANSONIC PRO
Q. Will I hear sound from this unit? A. People with good high frequency hearing will
hear some of the sounds on “quiet” although probably not from a distance. All people
will be able to hear the sounds on “medium” and “loud”.
Q. Will sound penetrate through walls or flooring? A. No. Ultrasonic frequencies do
not go through solid objects; they ricochet off of solid surfaces and tend to be absorbed
by soft surfaces, such as a sofa, drapes or insulation.
Q. How many units do I need? A. You may need more than one unit for larger rooms.
Since ultrasound will not penetrate through walls, ceilings or floors, you will need
another unit for each room or separated area.
Q. What is the unit’s life expectancy? A. There are no moving parts, so it should
last for many years.
Q. What can I do to maximize effectiveness? A. Since many factors affect results,
we recommend using Transonic PRO in conjunction with good pest control
management practices. Use it continuously and make sure that the sound is not blocked
by furniture. Put food away and clean up crumbs or spills. Food will always be a strong
attractant to pests even when using a repeller. Repair openings that provide access into
the area.
Q. What if I am still having trouble getting rid of the pests? A. Use the Transonic
PRO for several weeks before you call, as pests that have been in an area for a while
may take a little time to convince to go elsewhere. Email ([e-mail]
) to ensure
that your unit is functioning properly, that you are using it correctly, and that we have
given you some handy hints to make the area less desirable to pests.
Q. Will the ultrasonic sound harm pets? A. We have not received any reports of
household pets (dogs, cats, birds, fish) being harmed by our products. Even so, we
don’t recommend directing the unit at any pet that is not free to get away from the
sound, nor of course do we recommend directing it at pet rodents or insects, like mice,
gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs, hedgehogs, ferrets or tarantulas.
Q. Will it interfere with or damage electronic devices (i.e., computers, televisions,
audio products)? A. No.
Q. What is the cost of operation? A. 25 to 30 cents per month depending on the cost
of electricity in your area.
Q. Does it emit any harmful electro-magnetic radiation? A. No.
Q. What about poison bait, mouse traps and glue traps? A. Traps and poison are
an easily-accessible source of food which can draw more pests. Remove any such food
sources prior to using the Transonic PRO.
Q. Does it have any effect on birds? A. No
