When you’re dealing with pests in offices, healthcare environments, or even at home, there’s rarely a single “magic bullet.”
The best results usually come from combining smart tools that each do a specific job well.
That’s exactly what happens when you use Micron’s
EnergAire® Ionizer – Air Purifier
together with the RODAR® II Ultrasonic Pest Repeller.
RODAR® II focuses on discouraging pests from staying in the treated area, while EnergAire® helps create a cleaner, healthier
environment that’s less attractive to them in the first place.
How the EnergAire® Ionizer – Air Purifier Helps Your Environment
The EnergAire® Ionizer is designed to improve indoor air quality using ionization. In simple terms, it releases charged ions into the air.
These ions attach to airborne particles—such as dust, pollen, dander, some bacteria, and other microscopic contaminants—causing them to clump together and fall out of the air or become easier to capture on surfaces and filters.
What that means in everyday use:
Cleaner air to breathe – Less airborne particulate matter and bioaerosols.
Reduced microbial load – Ionization has been shown in lab and field settings to reduce certain airborne bacteria and fungal spores.
Improved freshness – Many users notice a reduction in musty or stale odors and a general “cleaner” feel to the air.
From a pest-management perspective, EnergAire® helps by reducing airborne organic matter and contaminant load—part of the overall
“food and shelter” picture that can make a space attractive to pests.
How the RODAR® II Ultrasonic Pest Repeller Works
The RODAR® II Ultrasonic Pest Repeller uses high-frequency sound waves designed
to help deter certain pests from staying in a protected area. These ultrasonic frequencies are typically above the range of human hearing,
so the unit works quietly in the background.
Key benefits of RODAR® II include:
Non-chemical pest deterrence – Ideal for environments where you want to minimize or avoid chemical treatments.
Continuous operation – Once plugged in and positioned properly, RODAR® II works 24/7 as a background deterrent.
Versatility – Suitable for many types of indoor spaces, including offices, break rooms, storage areas, and more.
RODAR® II can be used effectively on its own in many everyday applications. For situations where you want an even more comprehensive,
proactive approach, pairing it with EnergAire® is a powerful next step.
Why Using EnergAire® and RODAR® II Together Makes Sense
Think of pest control as both a signal and environment problem:
Signal – What are pests “hearing” or sensing in this space?
RODAR® II creates an ultrasonic environment that encourages pests to leave or avoid the area.
Environment – How attractive or supportive is this area for pests?
EnergAire® helps clean the air of particles, bioaerosols, and some odor-related contaminants that are part of the overall hygiene picture.
When you combine the two:
You’re sending a clear “don’t stay here” message.
RODAR® II runs continuously, creating an ultrasonic field that makes the area less comfortable for pests.
You’re improving the overall hygiene and atmosphere of the space.
EnergAire® reduces airborne particles and certain microbes, contributing to a fresher, cleaner environment.
You’re supporting long-term pest management.
Cleaner air and better environmental hygiene generally make it harder for pests to thrive or re-establish themselves over time.
In short: RODAR® II focuses on the pests; EnergAire® focuses on the environment. Together, they create a less hospitable space for pests and a more comfortable space for people.
Best Practices for Using Both Products
To get the most out of EnergAire® and RODAR® II—whether you’re using one or both—keep these simple tips in mind:
1. Placement Matters
Position RODAR® II according to the instructions, with a clear line for ultrasonic waves to travel across the room
(minimize heavy obstructions and thick walls).
Place EnergAire® where air can circulate freely around the unit—ideally not tucked away in a tight corner or behind large objects.
2. Run Them Consistently
Continuous operation helps maintain a steady level of ultrasonic deterrence (RODAR® II) and ongoing air improvement (EnergAire®).
In high-traffic or critical areas, keeping them running provides a constant layer of protection.
3. Combine with Basic Good Housekeeping
Wipe down surfaces regularly, manage trash and recycling promptly, and avoid long-term food or liquid spills.
EnergAire® helps remove airborne particles; basic cleaning helps remove what has settled—together, that keeps the environment less attractive to pests.
4. Scale the Approach to the Problem
For light to moderate pest concerns or prevention, RODAR® II alone may be perfectly appropriate.
For sensitive environments, odor-prone areas, or long-term prevention strategies, adding EnergAire® offers a stronger,
more comprehensive solution.
Where This Combination Really Shines
Using EnergAire® and RODAR® II together is especially appealing in:
Healthcare and wellness spaces – Where cleaner air and non-chemical deterrence are both highly valued.
Offices and break rooms – Where food, snacks, and trash can attract pests and stale odors.
Storage rooms, basements, and utility areas – Where dust, dampness, and low air circulation can make conditions favorable for pests.
Residential or assisted-living environments – Where occupants may be sensitive to chemicals or strong odors and air quality is a priority.
The Bottom Line
Both the EnergAire® Ionizer – Air Purifier and the
RODAR® II Ultrasonic Pest Repeller are effective tools on their own.
RODAR® II offers a quiet, non-chemical way to help keep pests away, while EnergAire® helps keep the air cleaner and the environment less appealing to them.
When you use them together, you’re addressing both sides of the equation—pest behavior and environmental quality—
giving yourself a smarter, more layered approach to managing pests indoors.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use the RODAR® II Ultrasonic Pest Repeller without the EnergAire® Ionizer – Air Purifier?
Yes. RODAR® II is designed to function as an effective, stand-alone ultrasonic pest repeller and can be used on its own in many everyday applications.
Adding EnergAire® provides an extra layer of support by improving air quality and helping make the space less attractive to pests over the long term.
What are the benefits of using EnergAire® and RODAR® II together?
RODAR® II focuses on discouraging pests from staying in a protected area, while EnergAire® helps clean the air and support overall environmental hygiene.
Used together, they provide both a behavioral deterrent (ultrasonic sound) and environmental conditioning (cleaner air), giving you a more complete and proactive
approach to indoor pest management.
Is the ultrasonic sound from RODAR® II safe for people and pets?
The ultrasonic frequencies produced by RODAR® II are typically above the range of human hearing and are designed for use in occupied indoor spaces.
As with any device, always follow the product instructions and guidelines. If you have small pet rodents or other sensitive animals, consult your veterinarian
or test the unit in a way that lets you monitor their comfort.
Where should I place EnergAire® and RODAR® II for best results?
Place RODAR® II where its ultrasonic waves can travel freely across the room, avoiding thick walls and large obstacles directly in front of the unit.
Position EnergAire® in an open area with good air circulation, rather than hiding it behind furniture or in tight corners. Following the placement guidelines
in each product’s manual will help you get the best performance.
Do I still need basic cleaning and sanitation if I use these products?
Yes. EnergAire® and RODAR® II are meant to complement, not replace, good housekeeping practices. Regular cleaning, prompt spill cleanup, and proper trash handling
help remove food sources and harborages, while EnergAire® improves air quality and RODAR® II deters pests. Together, they support a more effective, long-term pest
management strategy.
