For $30, I’ll sell you one of my ‘Energetic Pest Repellers’. They’re just as effective as these, but a single unit will protect up to a 3,000 square foot home and does not require any electricity. Instead, expose the device to the light of the full moon for at least one hour twice a year in order to maintain optimal performance. Any resemblance to a random rock from my yard is totally coincidental.
Can’t wait for the first teardown video of these… Maybe it’ll have a capacitor and LED in it. Maybe it’ll also ‘save power’, enhance wi-fi, and absorb harmful energy too!
@caffeineguy I’m 146% sure that it will cut your utility bills by 75% using That One Trick The Power Companies Don’t Want You To Know! (Or is that 750% now? I can’t keep up with this noorithmatick.)
@caffeineguy@werehatrack “This is something that nobody else can do. We’re going to get the utility bills down, not 30 or 40%, which would be great, not 50 or 60. No, we’re going to get them down 1000%, 600%, 500%, 1500%.”
The venerable Bell & Howell, formerly a premier producer of professional and amateur movie cameras, still cameras, and projectors. Now their name is slapped onto all sorts of “as seen on TV” products of questionable quality, effectiveness, and usefulness. Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
@ItalianScallion I’ve been calling the resurrected corpse “Hell+Bowell” since the stuff first came to my attention here, owing to the disturbingly obvious questionable-even-for-Meh levels of product “excellence.” I have since seen some of it on the As Seen On TV! shelves adjacent to the registers at WallyWorld, and those items didn’t look any more credible.
“In 2010 consumer electronics manufacturer Elite Brands licensed the Bell + Howell brand name to use on optical and imaging products including digital cameras and camcorders, binoculars, telescopes, lenses, and various camera accessories. BHH, LLC has also expanded licensing of the Bell + Howell brand name for a range of products including lighting and security, personal care, tools, pest control, auto accessories and luggage.”
The company was sold in 2018 and it looks like the licensing of the name to pretty much anything continues.

These are precisely as effective as posting a sign that says “Pest-Free Zone”.

“just as effective”? I’ve used these and they’re effective is laughable.

@werehatrack Wikipedia explains what happened…
