All the lights blink, I've always assumed it indicated the device was functioning. Never expected the device to eliminate ants. For those I think you'll need to use Raid or. Similar product. My focus in buying the Sntinal was to discourage rodents. So far so good.

Find out where they are living and lay down a bunch of glue traps will help and that unit you bought is bogus , just caught a couple mice on glue traps, gets them everytime .

I was assured by the Home Sentinel seller that this device would eliminate ants - it does not, they had some lame reason to explain why not. Liquid poison works well.

I don't know enough about ants such as they may hear up around 100 KHz. of upper-ultra-sonic as this small speaker that delivery around 25 KHz. to 30 KHz. as human's hearing range average from 20 Hertz to 20,000 Hertz (20 KHz.) Use RAID!

I just moved the panel around until they stopped blinking. I haven't had the problem for a while. The lights do not come on without me toggling the on/off switch though.

Does it blink green then go away totally and then the red light stays on or just no light period, and is there sound during this ? Because I changed one out and it blinked as you say then went to red and was defective bulb. So I sent it back for a replacement. Another time I replaced one and it did something similar and I think it wasnt making a good connection so I took the bulb out and used attachment to vaccum out all the dust that had accumulated back there and re-installed bulb and it worked great.

Blinking red means there's a problem........those batteries goes bad a lot.Red for charging and green for fully charged.Hope that helps...............

That would be my guess (but i'm no expert). did you put in a new battery or is this the old one? i didn't have any lighting issues, but my battery was new. it did take 24 hours for my security alarm (where i put the new battery) to reset itself, but your issue could be completely different. sorry i can't be more help.

I didn't know what it was for either until one day the light fell off my head in a dark crawl space and I had to go looking for it in the dark. Then I was very thankful for the red blinking light. Also, I think it is to let you know that the battery is not dead.

I wish I could be of some help and I'm going to point out the obvious and make sure that they are charged up. One thing that I did discover that that this type of system doesn't like compact fluorescent lamps. I'm guessing that the frequency of the lamp is to close to a harmonic of 144 Hz. I just know that I had trouble syncing until I turned them all out. Wish I could be of more help and good luck.

The lights have a built in resistor, this can go bad giving you the exact symptoms you've described. I had the same issue.

Hi.. The blinking dots will eventually become permanent. After plugging in the new unit, it took care of all the dots and was clearer than ever. It's a great fix.

They randomly blink on and off. I also noticed when I replaced the bulbs that they no longer blink. I'm wondering if it takes a different kind of bulb.

HI - I am not an expert.....not even a novice....but we aslso bought these and when they are charging from any active USB port (i.e. - is your computer or TV turned on?) --it should blink red as it is charging and then green when fully charged......If not ...it is defective. Good luck

mine only blinks when i've had it on awhile, and it goes off automatically. if i push the off button, then i can leave it off, or push the button again to turn it back on.

IDK I have not had mine six months yet. You might try checking the battery connections and make sure of clean with tight contact, or clean the receptor eye. I have had spiders build small nests in them before. Other than that, It is an inexpensive light in all likelihood made in China.....

Mine cuts off (lights still blinking but no connectivity) every week or so. A bit annoying but it usually is revived by unplugging the power for a moment and re-plugging it in again). If you know of another 8 port router, let me know... I'd like an alternative myself.

I would unplug it and replug it in, and go through each step again. When I first started using it, I would forget and set the temperature first instead of last. Look for the blinking dot next to the temperature.

That is odd. Did you let it sit for a while? I remember blinking lights for sometime before the constant green light came on.I'd contact Amazon or the manufacturer to see if you can exchange it. Personally, I love mine and even gave one to my best friend for her birthday.

Not supposed to be blinking. Maybe you have a loose battery or they need replaced.
