Sunbeam Pest Control

There are a number of companies that market pest control devices, as homeowners are constantly searching for a safer and more effective way to get rid of the rodents and insects that infest their homes. Many manufacturers have taken to selling electronic pest control devices; homeowners are attracted to electronic pest control because of claims that no traps or chemicals are needed. Sunbeam is one of these manufacturers, though Sunbeam products often bear the name of its sister company, First Alert.

Sunbeam offers a variety of products to keep pests away from your living space. There are devices that generate both ultrasonic and sonic sound waves, allowing them to protect your home or office from a wide variety of pests. Sunbeam Border Patrol Technology supposedly has the function of offering the most advanced pest coverage. These devices can be plugged in to any standard 110/120-volt AC outlet, and can be repositioned so that you can attain the most effective type of coverage possible.

Other Sunbeam pest repeller devices that are plugged in emit only ultrasonic waves. Still other units work on batteries and so are more portable. Some units use both ultrasonic and electromagnetic technology to repel pests. Others emit streams of charged ions to deal with insects, while the ultrasound deals with rodents. Coverage ranges will vary depending on the specific device.

A Sunbeam insect repeller for personal use can be used against a wide variety of pests and in a variety of locations. Sunbeam mosquito-repel devices are supposedly also effective against the majority of flying and biting insects, for example.

Sunbeam ultrasonic pest repeller efficacy can be affected by a variety of factors. First, the ultrasound will lose its intensity as the waves move away from the unit. Second, the ultrasound is absorbed by soft objects, like carpets, which will lead to a decrease in its efficacy. Third, ultrasound is reflected by hard surfaces, like walls. Fourth, there may areas around corners or behind furniture that are not covered at all (the ultrasound is impeded from reaching these areas by an obstacle or by the shape of the room); any pest hiding in these “shadow” areas will be completely unaffected by the ultrasound. This often means that nesting areas located behind walls or under floors will not be hit. Lastly, an insect’s individual body chemistry and environmental factors will affect the susceptibility of the pest to the ultrasound.

Finally, Sunbeam also offers a variety of cordless (and rechargeable), and therefore mobile, Bug Zapper models. These units emit fluorescent UV light that attracts flying insects; insects are drawn into a metal grid where they are zapped and killed. No annoying sound is made by these new generation models and there is a removable bug tray for easy cleaning. These are effective Sunbeam mosquito repeller devices as well.
