How does it work? Is it the kind that makes them look for water?

Did not work very well for me. I had another type that was eaten a lot, but never seemed to kill them. This stuff was not as attractive to the pests and usually not eaten.

I'm using it to kill voles in my gardens. I don't think they need water. It's pretty much nibble & die. The product smells bad so it's not used in the house. As for killing the voles we will never get rid of them, just control them. They eat flower bulbs, roots. And they do not sleep in the winter, so they chew the bark of the trees. The don't live in your home. You will only know if it is working by messing up their holes and wait to see if the whole was reopened. I stayed mouse traps but they get trap shy.. Smart little buggers. I would give this 5 stars

I really don't know. What I do know is that when it is put in an active hole. The hole becomes inactive and they aren't a problem burrowing around my terraced back yard. As a result, my supporting walls aren't being eroded.

It works by the venturi effect - look it up if you are unfamiliar with this. You'll need to connect a standard garden hose between a water faucet and the Muck Vac head. The water faucet must be fully on to work. The water makes a u-turn at the head and flows up the Muck Vac handle creating a suction at the head. This is the venturi effect.The unit is not very effective.

Yes, that's kind of how it works. It sucks up water along with any gunk in the gravel. You need to have a bucket ready to catch all the water you'll take out. It's tricky to get it started the first time, but after the first time, it clicked pretty easily for me.

I truly do not know about the water. I got the impression they are miniature electronics of some sort, so I would not think they would work in water. I would think it would ruin the hex bug. I bought them for gifts for 3 children of various ages, and none of them used them in water.

Not a good idea. It does tend to get water in them when a stream of water is around. When it rains not really. Only when a constant stream of water is around you tend to get water in them

We bought them to trap bugs inside the bins and them worked. I assume because they are plastic that they would keep water out. I actually did not see them, bought them for my mother at another location

I dont know for certain. But it really isn't an exciting product. Just a plastic fish with colored lights. I shouldnt have paid more than $5 for it. I don't understand the reviews. It would probably look like a real fish floating at the top of a pool- except that it would have a light at the bottom changing colors. so the lights would make it not look real. And the fact that its floating on top, not swimming.

water yes... but do not submerge, operate in the rain or under running tap. It's designed to work on all terrains.... In water it will take on a little water to balance and settle more to move around better in the water. when it's out of the water you have to drain properly and let it dry for a while. Do not use it near the beach or salt water as it may rust screws and other metal pieces. I love love this toy.... I'm going to be buying more of this. It's very versatile and can take some knocking around.

Yup, it sure does. I can't really say how well it works. I have mine underwater.

Yes it works. You need to have a big enough water bucket. Test it beforehand.

Outdoor stuff is tough because of all sun and elements they're exposed to (I used to build ponds and such). It may be marginally effective, but it would probably be high maintenance (filter will clog quickly, pump might get clogged). I'd say give it a shot. If it cleans the water you could always go with a better unit down the road.

It does make the water slightly cloudy. At first it appears clear, but after awhile a cloudy substance settles to the bottom and doesn't go away when swirled around.

I have had no issues. It did not do what I thought, it was suppose to change color with water temp but it just flshes.

it works off the return line from the filter. It uses the force of the water (coming from the filter and pump through the return line) to create a vortex that sucks debris into its filter bag. There is no way that it could possibly suck air into your pump so there is no reason to be concerned about that. I have used it for 2 full pool seasons and it works great.

Two things....one is it's ability to "sound" the bottom. In other words, it provides the depth of the water below the boat. It also locates fish activity, also known as a fish-finder.

I think it depends on the filter to get the particles out of the water to make it clear. The way it works is that it makes the fine particles cling together so that they catch in the filter better.

Yes it does. But, it only illuminates the center enough for that effect. When they swim right through it though, they glow and even cast a color halo onto the white housing of the pump, etc. It's pretty cool. I have "orange sunburst" GloFish tetras.
