Pest Control - Repellent PRO is the ultimate app to keep those annoying pests out of your home or back yard. Our specialists tested different frequencies for each type of pest, and selected the frequencies that work best so you can stay relaxed and enjoy your usual activities without having to worry about little creatures that ruin your garden or your home. You have preset ultrasound frequencies that work well for rats, moles, snails, bugs and lots of insects. If you would like to chose your own ultrasound frequency, you can check out or other apps available on the app store. Try to keep the phone/tablet speaker pointed in the right direction. If you have a large garden, it is recommended to use at least 2 devices to cover a larger area. If you have home pets, try to keep them away from the ultrasound frequencies or study how they react to them just in case it might affect them also. We hope you enjoy our professional Pest Repellent!
