ABSTRACT:
A device for generating and radiating ultrasonic sound waves for the control of pests such as rodents, insects and the like comprising a housing having at least two surface portions, an electrically operated sound generator carried by the housing associated with one of the housing surface portions for providing output sound waves directed outwardly from the one surface portion of the housing and in an ultrasonic frequency range normally inaudible to humans and intolerable by pests such as rodents, insects and the like, and a pair of spaced-apart prongs of electrically conducting material extending from the other of the housing surface portions and connected electrically to the sound generator and adapted for insertion manually into the socket of a standard electrical outlet receptacle commonly found in buildings and the like for supplying electricity to the sound generator and simultaneously supporting and holding the device. The prongs are the sole means for supporting and holding the device relative to the outlet. A stabilizing bar extends from the other housing surface portion at a location spaced from the prongs and is adapted to contact the receptacle in a manner spacing the other surface portion a desired distance from the receptacle. The sound generator comprises a plurality of transducers arranged in two groups operating in two frequency ranges in a manner providing a composite output in the form of a random pattern of frequencies and amplitude peaking in the ultrasonic frequency range.
