This cannot possibly be healthy.

...And nature takes the back seat again...!

They make ultra sound emitters to prevent mice staying in peoples homes - I feel sorry for all the rest of nature (dogs, cats, birds etc) that will have to possibly soon put up with uber powerful versions of these devices dotted around.
- amazing how people just don't care if it makes them richer

I might add I personally can also clearly hear those ultra sound mice deterrents.
(our's sound like crickets making that chirping noise, not really that annoying a mouse deterrent, perhaps other versions are more annoying that the ones my folks bought)

- I've only met one other person that can hear them so far, but where there are a few, there will be Many more.

Hope they ban such mass use of this tech !!!

This just shows how far people will go no matter haw many drawbacks or unpractical the tech they are trying to develop are. I guess if you use enough big fancy words and promise the future to enough ignorant people you will get some money to throw at.
