Will an unltrasonic pest repeller affect our emperor scorpions ?

[plainman007]

Hi,

I have 2 emperors now for over 9 months. They are quite healthy and active.
I was planning on installing a ultrasonic pest repeller to get rid of the occasional lizards and cockroaches that enter the house. But i wanted to first check if it will affect and hurt my scorpions ? Ive heard they have no ears but wanted to check with you guys. Thanks.

I wouldn't if I were you. Google "ultrasonic pest repeller scorpions" and see what comes up. I saw a lot of stuff about them repelling scorpions.

They probably aren't even effective at controlling pests.

i mean some...most... people consider scorpions pests so if it is effective against some pests it might bother your scorpion:?

I didnt get any concrete evidence vice versa. So i decided not to buy the repellant. My scorpions lives are more important i feel.

Scorpions are pests.
So they would be affected.

Pick one up, point it at your tank and turn it on. If you're scorps going scurrying around the tank, turn it off and return it. If they don't even twitch, you're all set. If you go this route, please post again. I'm curious as to whether it will affect them.

Good experiment...

Try this...Turn one on in your roach room, see if it even works. I'm curious to see if these gadgets really do work.
