I placed my order for this picnic table on July 24 and as yet have not received it.Just keep getting up dated delivery dates.

I've received and tried these great tables. I'm sorry I only ordered four. Even though I'm small, I can manage these tables - all 4 by myself! They fit in the back of my SUV and in my camper. My bruiser children have already started using them as a jungle gym/stairmaster -- they are incredibly stable and sturdy. My only concern is the legs don't lock in the folded(collapsed) position. If you hold them vertical it's not a problem, but when rotated, one leg drops - I'm using a canopy bungee to secure the two legs together for transport.

The table was easy to assemble and is very sturdy. The plastic is of a heavy guage and NOT flimsy. I purchased this table for the kids playroom as the kids have grown out of the little tikes type tables. The overall size of the table is big enough yet not too big for the room. I like that the seats/benches are attached to the table as one unit so that there is no concern for a child falling over like what could happen with chairs. I do recommend that an electric screw driver/drill be used for attachment of the brackets to the benches.

Sitting in my comfy chair reading a book, I thought I saw something move. "Maybe I should get my eyes checked," I thought to myself. Later I saw something scurry past the doorway again going the other way. Eeeeeek! (I didn't actually say it.) I had a mouse. After a few nights of unsuccessfully chasing the little guy with a broom and a shoebox, I saw an ad for this gizmo in a mailer. "What the hey, you never know." I bought one. I felt like Wiley Coyote ordering a trap from ACME.

I used it in the living room, then tried it in the kitchen. It has two features: 1.) an electromagnetic pulse and 2.) an ultrasonic noise. The electromagnetic pulse uses the wiring in your house to broadcast a signal throughout your whole house. This is supposed to mess with the mouse. The ultrasonic feature will only work in one room and works best if you don't hide it behind furniture. The mouse can hear high-pitched noise blaring; you can't. I use both features. I think the ultrasonic part is more important, but that is just my guess.

After a few weeks, there were no more cracker crumbs in the cabinets and no more little mouse presents. Has to be over a year now and I have had no more problems with mice.

Pros: Worked for me.

Con: Took a few weeks to work. You should keep it plugged in the wall 24/7 365 days a year, so it takes up a wall outlet. (You might want to take it out if you have a dinner party or a hot date.)

In my first apartment I had all kinds of ants and crawling insects in my kitchen two days after plugging the device in,they were totally gone,and stayed that way.

When I moved into a new house, I had carpenter ants with big piles of sand around the doors. I plugged in the device and they were gone.Again it takes two days.
In my limited experience it doesn't seem to work against roaches,and I don't know which setting I prefer but It does a great job against the crawling and flying insects that would have been an overwhelming problem,since I live right up against a wild nature preserve in Florida.I am buying an additional unit for another part of this 4 bedroom house.

What a great product. We were invaded by ants last year. We tried everything, in the end we were spraying pesticide everywhere. They would just find a different place to invade. I didn't care for spraying all over our kitchen, much less the whole house so we bought one of these. They were gone within 2 weeks. We're buying another one for our garage and laundry room - they're a bit far from the first one. We still have a small spider problem but it's confined to an area outside of the range.

It's interesting how some reviewers didn't get any results while others were incredibly successful. That doesn't make much sense. I guess you just have to try it to see if your pests are sensitive to it (and you're not).

I am living in a fairly small apartment (less than a thousand square feet) and the device works nicely. I set it at high frequency in the first place. But I could still see a few roaches crawling around after one week. Then I tried the low frequency setting, and then in a few days the number of roaches was greatly reduced. In around two-week time all the roaches vanished. Now my place is free of the annoying roaches. I am very pleased.

After purchasing this to help battle a cockroach infestation, I learned that insects do not "hear" the ultrasonic frequency emitted by this device. Nevertheless, I plugged in two in my kitchen and my roach problem was not helped. I understand that it may help with rodents, however.

This little device is a complete hoax for insect problems.

This device is very good, I didn't had roaches, spiders in my apartment since 1997. However, after the black out on 2003 in new york city, my 2 pest contro devices stopped working appropiately. Therefore I am forced to buy 2 new pest contro's.

After reading previous comments about the products, I guess it depends where you live. I happen to live in a 30 floor building and it works fine for me, the only problem I had was after the blackout and the devices started making a twitching sound. Probably due to the power failure, the pest contros were no longer in use. From that point my kitchen has small roaches and about 3 adult roaches by my kitchen table. I bought a newer version called "pest patrol" after the black out and that one didn't do a thing.

I`ll take a shot with the original pest contro, and I rather use this product than the newer ones that seem to have dissapointed a lot of consumers here at amazon.

I bought this product from a TV infomercial five years ago during the summer. Because we did have a recurring problem with various pests and we didn't want to deal with the expense of a monthly pest control company fee, I decided to take a chance on what was considered pretty radical technology then-using ultrasonic and magnetic sound to drive away pests in your home. Plus I liked the idea of not using toxic fumes. I got the product, actually read the instructions, and plugged it in using an extension cord (doesn't slow down it's effectiveness) so I could position it correctly under our dining table with an unobstructed view. The rest of that year, I saw some improvement, but not a lot-it slowed down the march of spiders coming in from the fall rains, and kept most of the mice from coming in to watch TV in the winter (we live near a wooded area, so pests are unavoidable), but there was nothing to get really excited about. The next spring brought some surprises though...the mean green flying machine did not take over our home as usual. By that I mean the flies, bees, mosquitos, gnats, etc. They would come in, and after awhile, you could actually see them frantically trying to get back out...if they didn't, you'd find them RIP'd on your windowsill the next time you dusted. The next thing we noticed that our dog stopped having problems with fleas-to the point that we were able to stop buying extra flea control for him. He's not stupid either-whenever our poodle has had a visit with another unprotected dog, he would come in and lie down right in the line of sight of PestContro :) That summer marked a real slowdown in spider population, and we only got one rodent visitor that winter. Since then, except for an occasional dusting of its casing, I haven't touched or moved our PestContro from under the dining table. Also, our lives have been pretty much pestfree. No, we are not totally 'free' of pests, but I didn't expect PestContro to do that-I just wanted to slow down the 'colony' and to keep them from taking up residence-In my opinion, PestContro delivered on that promise.
