Need some information on Sonic Bug Repellers

Factual Questions
1

My sister just moved to Australia, and was talking about getting one of these things to help keep her home free of insect pests.

I seem to recall reading that these things didn’t work in a reputable science-orientated website, but I can’t find it now that I need it. Also, something about an 800 number being set up to report stores and websites that were selling them in America. Anyone know what site I could be thinking of?

Consumer Reports studied these things a while back. They said they don’t work. I don’t know if CR has a website or not. You could tell your sister “Rue says they don’t work.” and leave it at that.
-Rue.
