Ultrasonic devices are a great way to deter pests, both rodents and insects, from your home. Why kill when you can make them avoid your home?

This Lentek plug-in device is a great way to declare your rooms as a pest-free zone. All you need to do is plug it into any wall outlet and voila - your room is sheltered by an utlra-sonic sound which only rodents and insects can pick up on. That means a nagging background noise for them - which they will stay away from - and buzz-free peace for you.

And now, Lentek offers you a special offer with three of these units - to cover your entire home, or at least three prominent rooms. A pack of three of these is available at under $25 right here on Amazon.

Here’s a tip from the maker: use mirrors and glass surfaces to reflect that inaudible sound around the room, for  even more effective deterrence.

Winter time signals a decline in activity levels for many rodents. However, in many areas rats, mice and other rodents do not hibernate and can actually be drawn to the warmth of our homes.

Here on PCH we never advocate killing rodents. They are really no different from our pet hamsters. Pet rats are just the same species as those invading our homes. That does not mean you should welcome them into your homes, but rather then use poison or electric traps, why not try the more humane option first?

The Shake-Away granules are just the non-lethal solution you may be looking for. A safe (even organic!) product that cleverly uses predator scent to keep a variety of rodents away. This stuff is formulated to be effective for repelling mice, moles, rats, shrews, voles, and other rodents. The granules are long-lasting, more effective than liquids and cause no harm to plants or other animals.

This can of 3lb of granules should be enough to form a line up to 1500 feet long - a great way to keep pesky noisy rodents out of your home.

If you’re looking for a chemical-free bug control solution, the Dynatrap might be a good solution for you. Tell your kids to calm down when you tell them about it too - it will not catch dinos.  It will however, attract mosquitoes and other flying insects with its patented UV light bulbs combined with a fan that sucks them in, they don’t stand a chance.

Keep in mind that this will only work in the evening or night time - as daylight will make the UV light less apparent to the bugs. Hang this one indoors or on your porch, as it comes with a 10-foot cord. It’s quiet, with no zaps, only the quiet hum of the small fan, and with no need for refills or propane, it is also cheap to run. Many customers report coming back for more Dynatrap units.

Moles are kind peaceful creatures that spend their lives underground, digging around and looking for earthworms to eat. They don’t actually attack plant roots, but their movement of the soil can damage crops.

What’s more, unsightly molehills can really ruin the looks of your well groomed lawn. So, how can you get the moles away from your lawn or garden without harming the little blind beasts? Here’s a great solution: the Vibrasonic Mole Chaser:

This device is buried underground, almost invisible, and emits a sound that really bothers rodents, driving them away. It is likely to affect not only moles, but squirrels, shrews, voles and mice as well. It will not bother your precious earthworms though.

It’s easy to insert and very durable and only needs a battery change once every 4 to 6 months. In the right conditions of moist clay soil, it can cover about a third of an acre of your land. If you’re dealing with dry, sandy or peat soil, you may require more than one of these devices for added effectiveness.

Vacuuming bugs happens to be a neat pastime which many of my acquainances seem to enjoy. Yes, they are guys, so primordial hunting instincts may have something to do with it. One of them told me how he used his hoover unit for just that, plugging it in whenever a flying pest came into the room.

Well, there is actuall a much easier solution with this designated bug vacuum tool. It’s a high-power unit, which will suck in insects of any size. It’s even more humane, I think, since the bugs get hit by the internal electric grid, killing them instantly.

A great gift for indoor hunters
