Plug-in sonic rat deterrents...

You might want to check yours!

Noticed last night at my girlfriends house the casing of theirs was scorched, pulled the unit out of the wall and it literally fell apart, the inside of the unit was totally scorched and black inside, I dread to think what would've happened if it had remained un-noticed... I won't name the brand obviously (But they've been contacted), but they are quite famous for making various bits of household tat...

Jesus, I thought we were past the days of nearly having our houses burned down by shoddy electronics! :O

JML? they make some shoddy tat

This is beyond the description of 'shoddy tat', I find it completely unfunny that something like that could go unchecked, I've no doubt it would probably of caught fire if it was left in a place where it wasn't visible...

do these things really work? i had one i bought from B&Q (detector not rat!) along with a safe trap for the mouse that was getting in my garage.

Bait was eaten from the trap and after 6 months, the bloody mouse was still there

Mine seemed to work for a few weeks, then the mice either went deaf or bought some earplugs. Good old poison did the trick eventually (and I mean mouse poison not the popular perfume of yesteryear)
