		<description>Yeah.  Regardless of whether these dirt vibrators are battery or solar powered, they just do not work.  The depressing thing is that these devices are sold by reputable chains like Lowe&#039;s, and even endorsed by the guys at This Old House.  

Had a horrible mole problem at a former property, and the only solution was the hiring of a liscenced pest control service that specialized in mole removal.  The problem is solved by eliminating the mole&#039;s food source (normally grubs), via the application of relatively expensive yard and plant treatments.  Again, the sonic pulse sticks are simply ineffective.</description>

		<description>7000 square feet is a radius of 14.4 metres, not all that incredible, as far as the usual claims for these so-called &quot;pest control&quot; devices go.

The FTC has sent warning letters for false and deceptive advertising to dozens of manufacturers. http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2001/05/fyi0128.shtm The result: the market switched away from calling it &quot;ultrasonic&quot;, now using &quot;subsonic&quot; or &quot;interval sonics&quot;. Either way, the efficacy claims are not supported by scientific evidence, on the contrary.

Bottom line is, these devices just don&#039;t work.

The market for hawking flimflam products to uninformed customers is big enough already, no need for providing additional credulous publicity for these. I wish you&#039;d focus more on the nerdy gizmos instead. You know, on products whose function is undisputed, or on toys where it&#039;s OBVIOUS when you&#039;re spending your money on something silly and useless.</description>
