Riddex Plus INEFFECTIVE

Riddex is a serious scam. There should really be a class act suite against this company. I couldn't believe the complaints that i've read. This is really ridiculous. Mice, roaches etc, loves this product. After about a two months, I was convinced that this product doesn't work. I tried contacting customer service and spoke to a helen which wasn't helpful at all. I wanted to send the product back for a refund and had no luck. They dont even want the product. Such a scam.

I've seen some results in just a week on the ants that were in my new house. I've looked into all of the complaints & the prositive notes & it looks like the biggest issue is that they understate the time it will take. So, many may think it's instant like chemicals, but many have noted it's taken up to a month or two. Pest Offense was recommended by another consumer, but it's the same thing...it just states that you will see results in as little as 2-4weeks... This is supposed to be a family friendly and humane way to get rid of your pests. I still have mice in my bathroom vent after a week of using this, but I didn't know they were there until I plugged this in. So, apparently this is bugging them. I can hear them moving around an squeeking. I'm not saying it totally works. I'm just saying I think that a lot of people expect instant results & you may have to relearn patience :)

Riddex Plus A Thank You to consumers alerting of scam

I want to thank-you all for taking the time to post information about the riddex plus product. Because of you all I will not be ordering this product. It should be illegal for company's to take advantage and make false claims as they are. I ship products a lot and it has never cost me 8.95 to 17.95 to ship a small box anywhere. I used to ship puppets all over the country and the most it ever cost me was 4.95 to ship a larger box. THANK-YOu ALL Sooo MUCH!

Riddex Plus Did not keep out mice. Still in family room ceiling and in attic.

I bought the riddex plus. Two in fact. One for one floor and one for the family room. We still kept getting mice in traps. They keep coming and have not stopped all summer. We do not know how they are getting in. We have caulked and redid doors. We had big hopes for this product. We found that oil of peppermint on a cotton ball keeps mice out. They can't stand the smell.

Riddex Plus Credit Fraud

After submitting an order for riddex plus I received an email informing me that I was enrolled in swifty rewards discount buying club. I did not authorize the transaction and it was obviously Riddex Plus that used my personal and financial information from their order form to enroll me.
I was able to cancel the membership in the discount buying club and was told that my $2.48 would be refunded to my card.
I have decided to cancel my order for Riddex Plus also but they told me first that the order had not been submitted to their system and when I called back I was told their system was down and I would have to call back later.

Partially agree. I know that I was foolish enough to enroll into this program with swifty rewards. My problem is, that in their agreement, I can cancel in writing within 30 days.Great! not so great . Not any where in their website or e-mails can I find an address to write to. So, how can I cancel if I can't fond them.

YOUR INFO WAS NOT SOLD - YOU GAVE IT TO THEM!

I suggest you go back and read the terms and conditions of the special offer you agreed to . It will tell that you also signed up for a trial membership in a completely worthless program. This was disclosed in the terms and conditions.

the issue is NO ONE willing enrolls in these MEMBERSHIP programs so they sell them via other internet retailers with special offers. Those offers come with their OWN terms and conditions separate from the retailers website. MOST NEVER READ the terms and conditions before agreeing to them (PLACING YOUR ORDER IS YOUR AGREEMENT) Which is what they are counting on.

They are supposed to send you info on the program - but it rarely arrives and most do not even realize they are being charged for months because they never read their cc statements either.

I have a 1 year old pomearian that wouldnt come through the doorway after plugging the riddex in, she wouldnt go over the threshold for weeks .Finally after co-relating the installation of the riddex to her sudden strange behavior we unplugged the riddex that ran along that wall and she hopped over with no problem for the first time in weeks.There should be a warning for small dogs on these products.She is finally back to normal after removing the riddex.

The product does work, for mouse repelling, saw results within 24 hours of pluging two of them into the wall units of a 2000ft home. So no complaints about product performance.. I was not happy how the website is set up blind that the consumer is not informed how much they are accepting to be charged (there was no conformation page of total charges in their check out process you are just charged then realize how outragious the shipping cost is) I did receive a partical refund for complaining it was criminal to not have a comformation of charges for the customers to agree to prior to being charged.

They state their product is pet safe and for the most part I feel for dogs in many situations it is.. I called them today that there should be a warning added concerning pet safety and the use of their product around pets in certain situations... My 7 year old German Shepherd started to seizure .. So many things involved for individual dog, genetic history, breed you name it, , (not new to dogs and not new to the breed) Everything possible was taken into consideration concerning the event.. My take on the event after getting the riddex plus and plugging them into wall sockets in other rooms of my house, , is the dog was in a crate set up against a wall socket for the reason of the sudden onset of seizures in this dog for being confined up against the source of the out put of Riddex Plus. That though most owners may not crate their dogs, but for those who do crate their dogs to take note of insuring after putting the riddex plus into their homes to make sure their crates are not up against a wall socket..

The company has been informed of the event.

Ms Understood,

Either place more of them around the house and see if that works. Also add large Combat for the waterbugs. Bugs that don't live in the walls and come from outside have greater chance of thriving in the house. Riddex, which apparently one needs more than one, I don't know how much you have, seems to work on what lives in the walls. I notice some stuff that leaves the walls fall down dead. I do have less stuff. You must put stuff out for the things that left the walls, ie waterbugs. It's un-thorough not to have combat out for the waterbugs. I'm quite sure I'd be infested without combat. Also calk your baseboards. There are no miracle cures for these things. I do more more than one of them, good luck.

I BOUGH T RIDDEX AND IT IS A JOKE. THE INSTRUCTIONS SAY RESULTS WILL OCCUR WITHIN A FEW DAYS AND THE BEST RESULTS AFTER 30. SO WHILE YOU ARE WAITING FOR THE 30 DAYS, THERE IS A 30-DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEE. I HAVE HAD IT ALMOST 2 YEARS AND IT DOES NOT WORK. IT WAS A COMPLETE WASTE OF MONEY. NO RODENTS, THANKS TO THE CATS. STILL THERE ARE INSECTS AND WATERBUGS.

I'm happy with riddex so far. the real test will be what happens through August. I put it in several outlets in my studio apartment(back up), I'm an over achiever. I don't see that many silvrfish(I think one slipped under the door from hall after some exterminator came). It probably got lost. I got mine in Bed Bath and beyond(no shipping) for 14.95 and recently a power plus for 19.95. And if you can't get your money back you can call your credit card company and tell them what happened. The customer always wins.

Riddex Plus the solution

Having read all of these Riddex complaints, I think everyone should go find the Riddex CEO, take him to the bank, get out all of the his ill gotten money, go to the factory, tie him to a stake, place all of his dirty money around him and set him on fire. Place Riddex units all around him, and turn them on, so the factory bugs will have something to sit on while they watch him burn. you won't have to listen to the screaming, if you place the mice from your house in a cage and place the cage over this guys head, before you light him up.

I ordered this product not online but via the stupid program SABADO GIGANTE where they advertise this crap, so I called the 1 800 number and they didn't even answered my call but asked me to leave a voicemail with name and number and so, they called me 2 days after and I ordered it. After I placed the order went to check online and found out the product was 3 times cheaper than what I payed so I called them back after 20 mins. to CANCEL the order and this THIEVES DONT WANT TO GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK, the charge was made on my debit card and they say that once the transaction is been made they can't cancel it and if they do they will only refund me only 50% ($45) instead of $90.

I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT SABADO GIGANTE PROGRAM CAN SPONSOR THIS CRAP ... AND THEY FOOL PEOPLE MY MENTIONING THEY ARE CALLING FROM THAT PROGRAM AND THEY BRAG ABOUT THE CREDIBILITY OF DON FRANCISCO ... THEY SHOULD KNOW WHAT GARBAGE THEY ARE SPONSORING

I don't know what to do and if anybody knows about a way to make this RIP OFF PUBLIC AND LEGAL, PLS give some advice.

Riddex Plus It doesn't work

I have two units in my home and I had a mice prob. Well, I plugged in 7/18/08 and 7/23/08 I found a mouse in the house caught on the Tom Cat glue trap. That mouse had ears and this crap doesn’t not work it’s a fake. I want my money back! I paid about $60 bucks for this crap and it doesn’t work. How do they continue business with this type of fraudulent activity occurring. I then saw a water bug in the bathroom, so I thought maybe not bugs. However when I saw the freaking mouse, I knew it didn’t work!

We have one in every room and live in the mountains a ton of mice under the house but for 3 yrs haven't seen one in the house until a few wks ago. Realized 2 of them don't work anymore cuz the plug gets loose and stops working right and another one doesn't blink red. Most of them were here when we moved in so not sure how old they are but we've had them a almost 4yrs and worked amazing with the mice until now. Don't see too many bugs but have seen some spiders here and there so don't think it works the greatest on them

Throwing your money in the trash will at least save you some time, don't expect this product to work because it wont, I bought two of them, followed all the instructions, waited for them to work and roaches didn't only not leave my house but multiplied and had so many that I could see them crawling everywhere, things didn't stop there, one of my relatives spent the night at my house and a small roach went inside one of her ears while she was sleeping, the roach started to eat flesh inside the ear causing a terrible pain and infection, the person said she could feel the insect chewing on the ear drum making a noise as loud as a thunder and causing a terrible pain, the person had to be seen by a doctor and spent about a 1000 dlls to have the insect removed in pieces and the infection treated and became temporarily deaf. I wish somebody would have warned me, I stopped using boric acid when I purchased the riddex thing, now I went back to boric acid and a 95% of the roaches are gone, boric acid really works if you use it properly and safely, now, if you want to put your family in risk or lose time and money, buy the riddex thing is your money anyway.

Like everything else people try to scam others for a profit, Riddex Plus is one of them. I did everything the intructions said and plugged 2 of them in my house which is only 1524 sqft. I am still trapping mice in my cabnits which sit above where one of the units is plugged in. I am very upset that I bought this product, but in sales their is a saying " There is a sucker born every second", and I became that sucker. I should of did my research before investing in a product that does not do what it says it does.

I just bought my Riddex Plus repellent. So far, I'm satisfied. The red light blinks for 3 minutes, then it's off for 3 minutes. If the red light stops blinking, your Riddex isn't working. I read that in the instructions. So, the real test will be if I hear little critters in the soffit of my basement walls. I'm tired of being treated like a second-class citizen by my condo association. So, instead of getting angry and frustrated, I hope that Riddex will do the trick and I won't have to bother with my condo association anymore!

Riddex Plus The product doesn't work

The funny thing is Riddex Plus states that the product is 100% guaranteed. Now they will not give me my money back after I told them that their product is not effective in my home. I have had it for two months now. I still get bugs. As a matter of fact I believe I get more now since I have started using this product than before I did. They tell me it's a 30 day money back guarantee. I was talking to customer service representative and he said that sometimes the pests will leave and then try to come back again but they should leave again. I ask, "So after 30 days if the product doesn't work that is the consumer’s problem and you no longer promise that it works?" If you know the product can stop working how can you give it a 100% guarantee? All I wanted was my money back for a product that does not work.

Now I hae mre roaches than I ever had before.They gave me the same crap what you had told in your e-mail. I even wanted to talk to the supervisor . He refused to talk to me because he was busy. Nothing can be done because I did not buy one year warrenty.This is totally ripp off.

I asked them what the life span is and they said 10 years I know now thats not true, they just have false advertisement. The next thing is they told me to return it so I have to pay to ship it and also I have to pay shipping and handling charges for them to send it back to me. I don't think that's fair cause I'm not at fault if their product don't work, why should I have to give away money like that i'm not made of money I have small kids in my house and I'm just trying to protect my family from these creatures. I thought we finally got a safe product but boy was I so wrong. Anyone trying to purchase this product please don't it doesn't work.

I ordered riddexplus off the internet on July 8, 08. The company does not have any thing to check order status. It, s going on one month, and I haven, t received the product. This is a terrable company to deal with. Don't throw away your money.

In addition to asking the credit card company to reverse the charges, write to the Better Business Bureau and file a complaint against Riddex. You can also report this scam to local and national offices dealing with consumer protection Anyway, thanks to you I just saved about $40, 00 and I will let my address book know about these crooks.

If you paid with a credit card have the credit card company reverse the charges. You can do this not only with the scammers at Riddex, you cana do it with any company that refuses to return your money after you exhaust all other means. That's why it's wise to pay by credit card. Try it.

Thanks for the info...I won't buy one. Sounds like the company is unethical in dealings also.

Riddex Plus They're a joke

I got Riddex plus to get rid of bugs in my apartment, 2 months now and the bugs are still around. Now I have to smell the fumes of the spray. A company should not be allowed to sell a product without science proof about their claims. Instead of paid off statements from who knows who. I went to the site I paid to get the product to file a claim, there is no where to file one, tried to complain about this product to the 1-800 number I am told this number is for only ordering the product. I told them what I thought about the product anyway.

THE AD SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE BUY 1 GET 1 FREE AND FOR JUST THE COST OF SHIPPING YOU WILL GET A SECOND SET. THEY CHARGED 17.90 TO SHIP ONLY 2 UNITS IN THE SAME BOX AND THE SHIPPING DIDN'T COST THEM EVEN THE AMOUNT OF ONE 8.95. THEY ARE RIPPING PEOPLE OFF WITH THE EXTRA SHIPPING COST. THAT IS HOW THEY ARE ABLE TO OFFER THE SECOND UNIT FREE THEY ARE MAKING IT UP ON THE SHIPPING.

They want us to believe it will work on bugs and mice yet they can not even provide a list of what insects it will and won't work on.

Riddex Plus just simply does not work. They should be banned from selling the product. I have unplugged Riddex because it uses electric for no good reason! It does not work at all! The nightlight works but 10.00 is a lot to pay for a night light!

The best advice I can give to anyone who is thinking about purchasing this product is to visit www.bbb.org and search under the website address. The rating they have will tell you everything. No futher comments.

Ripped off with hidden shipping and handling charges. DO NOT PURCHASE. Even if returned will still charge your acount shipping and handling fee.
