Danger to Gerbils? HELP FAST TY!!!

[lilsmacko]

i'm trying to get rid of ants, mices, and flies in my house. but i'm concerned that this will harm my trio of gerbils. it's an ultrasonic repellent that keeps rodents away. but gerbils are rodents; does anyone have experience with this? please help thanks for your time.

I think there has been a thread on this before and it was decided that the one that deters rodents would not be suitable for a home with any small animals.

However I am sure there was another such deterrent that was suggested for use, but I can't remember what it was. Do a search on the forum for 'ultrasonic' and hopefully it will come up.

I think the thread Betty means was one I started when we had huge spiders coming into the house at the beginning of autumn gerbilforum.proboards.com/thread/31157/sonic-spider-repellents-safe?page=1&scrollTo=277184 There was an alternative electromagnetic device that was supposed to repel spiders & insects but be safe for small pets. I never bought it just in case. But the one to repel rodents is definitely not safe with gerbils & TBH they both had very mixed reviews on success rates anyway.

For the ants you could use powder/spray in the areas you know they pass through. For mice maybe humane traps? And for flies just don't leave any food lying around & have fly spray handy to zap them with if they do come in (but don't spray near the gerbils).

Good luck - it sounds like nightmare!
