Ultrasonic sound waves are not harmful to humans or pets!
In cases where you contradictory to our recommendations
install an electronic pest management device in living spaces of your home have
no fear! The ultrasonic waves emitted by the device only represent one source
of ultrasonic sound waves. Tube lights, TV-sets, refrigerator and other electrical
installations all emit ultrasonic waves and contrary to an ultrasonic pest management
device more or less continuously.
The physical effect of the Topo Stop ultrasonic models
on humans and non rodent pets is therefore negligible!
Especially if you consider the time
of exposure which in the case of Topo Stop is only approximately 1% in comparison
with other electrical installations.
Neither the sound pressure from Topo Stop (approx. 100 dB in pure ultrasonic
setting) represents any danger. The Swedish Board of Work Security declares
in their norms (AFS
1992:10, page 7-8) that for heavy impulse sound waves such as those emitted
by Topo Stop, up to 140 dB is considered to be quite safe!
However, since Topo Stop for best pest management effect should be installed
in closed quarters such as the attic or in the crawling space underneath the
house, the Topo Stop ultrasonic sound waves will by physical laws never reach
any living spaces.
So the conclusion must be, when Topo Stop
is installed as per our recommendations the sound waves will in no way affect
humans or pets!
