Does Riddex really work for mice?

Question: Does Riddex really work for mice? How much would it be to tent the house?

Answer: It may work, but the jury on ultrasonic plug-ins is still out, as they say. There are many testimonials out there that say the product works, and some state it does not. Personally, I would not trust the health of my family to a plug-in ultrasonic device.

Calling Orkin and having a highly trained and qualified Orkin Pest Specialist come to your home and conduct a thorough assessment of the property is your best option. They will look for rodent entry points, conditions that are conducive to rodent infestations, and develop a customized treatment strategy that fits your needs.

When it comes to tenting your home, it is a rather expensive proposition. It requires great degree of knowledge and special licensing due to the gas being used.
