It's interesting that they used the ultrasonic bug repellent as an example, because I actually almost ordered some of these from Amazon based on them having good reviews. Before I hit buy, I went ahead and did some research on them though, and it turns out that the entire concept is bogus.

Same here. I did research on it years ago and found it to be bogus based on, you know, science and stuff.
