4. Operating Instructions
The RIDDEX Plus operates continuously once plugged in, providing 24-hour protection against pests.
- Electromagnetic Waves: The device emits silent electromagnetic waves through your home's electrical wiring. These waves are designed to agitate the nervous systems of pests, making the environment undesirable for them.
- Non-Toxic and Safe: The technology is completely non-toxic, producing no sound, no odor, and is safe for use around children and household pets like cats and dogs.
- Built-in Nightlight: Use the button on top of the unit to toggle the nightlight feature on or off as needed.
Expected Results:
- During the first week of installation, the unit will begin to take effect.
- By the second week, you should start observing noticeable results, with mice, rats, and cockroaches beginning to disappear from your home.
- For optimal results, allow 2-4 weeks for the device to take full effect.

5. Placement Guidelines
For maximum effectiveness, consider the following when placing your RIDDEX Plus units:
- Central Location: Place units in central areas of your home where pest activity is observed or suspected.
- Unobstructed Outlets: Ensure the unit is plugged into an outlet that is not obstructed by furniture, curtains, or other large objects, as this can interfere with the electromagnetic field.
- Multiple Units: For larger homes or multi-story dwellings, using multiple units is recommended to ensure comprehensive coverage.
- Avoid Obstacles: While electromagnetic waves travel through wiring, dense objects like thick walls or large appliances can create dead zones. Strategically place units to minimize such areas.

6. Maintenance
The RIDDEX Plus is designed for maintenance-free operation. No refills, traps, or chemicals are needed.
- Cleaning: If the unit becomes dusty, gently wipe it with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or immerse the unit in water.
- Continuous Operation: For continuous pest control, keep the unit plugged in at all times.
7. Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your RIDDEX Plus unit, refer to the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Unit not turning on (no green light) | No power to the outlet; Unit malfunction | Check if the outlet is working by plugging in another device. Try a different outlet. If still no power, the unit may be faulty. |
| Red light not flashing | Electromagnetic function not active; Unit malfunction | Ensure the green light is on. If the green light is on but the red light is not flashing, try unplugging and re-plugging the unit. If the issue persists, the electromagnetic function may be faulty. |
| Pest activity persists after several weeks | Insufficient coverage; Severe infestation; Pests have adapted | Ensure units are placed optimally and not obstructed. Consider adding more units for larger areas. For severe infestations, it may take longer to see full results. Ensure there are no other attractants for pests (food sources, entry points). |
