Too bad these devices have never been proven to actually work. But this only makes sense in theory. In actuality some animals seem to habituate to the noise, and others just don’t seem bothered at all. Researchers using higher quality ultrasound generators have shown that sound can be effective at disrupting mating or eating habits of particular animals. These generators, however, are several grades above any device available for consumers which can’t replicate the complicated patterns of sound and turn out to be pretty much useless. Thus when some studies show that pest infestations do decrease, they have no way of proving that it was a result of the ultrasonic sound. For these reasons, researchers strongly advise against buying into these devices. There is simply not enough evidence.

Ultrasonic repellents help keep ticks, fleas, and other pests and bugs away by using high frequency electronic waves.
These high-pitch waves are inaudible to humans, but repeal parasites which can hear these waves.
People often use ultrasonic repellents in their home, but many of these are set to frequencies which dogs and cats can hear which can cause them discomfort.
However JULIUS-K9® has developed an Ultrasonic Tick & Flea Repellent Collar Attachment especially for dogs.
This attachment can be clipped onto any dog collar and operates at a frequency that both dogs and humans can’t hear, but emits ultrasonic waves that repeal pests.

The efficacy of ultrasonic pest controllers for fleas and ticks was tested in a choice chamber. Two ultrasonic pest controllers, a pet-collar unit and a large unit for household use, were tested for their efficacy in repelling fleas and ticks in a choice chamber. Neither unit had any affect on the distribution of fleas or ticks in the choice chamber up to 24 h exposure, and activity of fleas, ticks and cockroaches was unimpaired. The study extends and supports previous findings that ultrasound is ineffective as a means of controlling common pests of households and pets.
