They adapt to it and realize the noise is not a threat. they even tried alternating frequencies but once they realize all the frequencies are only an annoyance they are ineffective too. it just takes longer.

Does the riddex electronic pest repeller stop working?

The Riddex pest repeller produces high-frequency sound waves that are harmless to humans and pets (except rodents), but which are heard by insects and rodents and are supposed to drive them away. This may sound good in theory, but it doesn't work in practice. At best, electronic pest repellers may work for a few hours or days, but they apparently have no long-term effect on pests. Also, many people claim that they can hear a whining and/or buzzing noise made by the repellers. After numerous complaints, the company that produces Riddex agreed with the FTC to not make certain claims as to their product's effectiveness. You can read the agreement on the FTC site: http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2003/07/global.shtm

Are there any solar lanterns on the market that also help repel insects when in use during evening hours?

There are a few solar lanterns that have a built in insect repellent. The primary one I found can be use with a stake to put around your garden, lawn or to line the path or can be set on a flat surface without using the stake. You can find this one at Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/SOLAR-LIGHT-BUILT-INSECT-REPELLER/dp/B003019O8K) and dbRoth (http://dbrothonline.com/SOLAR-LIGHT-WITH-BUILTIN-INSECT-REPELLER/M/B00301AEFC.htm).
