Peter Bromley’s experiences with his mum’s PestXit Duo (11th September) interested me strangely. This device does not rely on nasty chemicals, paranormal energy or the doubtful therapeutic effect of magnetic fields. You plug it in and turn it on, and it makes a continuous irritating noise beyond the human frequency threshold. That’s plausible. Why shouldn’t it work? View More PestXit – A Follow-up

A few years ago I spent hours of endless fun at my mother’s house chasing mice…or emptying traps. They seemed to be fairly regular visitors and she hated them almost as much as the telemarketers who specialised at calling at tea time. A mouse with a phone – the ultimate pest!
When she saw the PestXit somewhere (probably Bunnings or Dick Smith) she wanted to try it. My experience with this sort of thing had been extensive – I bought one for mosquitoes when I was young and woke up eye to eye with a mozzie that was actually sitting on the device. It didn’t look stressed at all. In fact, all it needed was a cigarette and magazine. View More PestXit – Have they built The Better Mousetrap?
